Re: Best Rustication?

Tim Hynick's rustication is bar none, the best rustication I've ever seen. The damned things are dangerous. And i really don't like risticated finishes. But his are just awesome. Prickly and gnarled beyond belief. If you get a chance, check out his pipes.

Re: Rusticating

I'd always thought a paint can shaker might make for an interesting/cheap blaster kinda thing. fill the can with blasting media, toss in stummel, and let her rip for a few hours. Of course, i don't know if those things can run continuously for a few hours, but hey, I'm just an ideas kinda guy.

Really? I got the impression when talking to them that they're a manufacturer. Could be wrong though.

Re: shank cap advice

Thanks Unbeknowst to most folks, your butt cheeks are really a set of very fine calipers. All it takes is a but..er bit of practice. So wh...

shank cap advice

OK, so I'm putting a little shank cap on a pipe to hide the way low gouge that the draft home made. I can either turn down the shank and fir a cap over that, or drill a shallow mortise and fit the cap with a small tenon. I have the pins and such, so i can do either really, but which is better? I'm s...
