No can do.

PHEW!

thought for a little while that I was gonna hafta be nicer.

Hey Sasquatch, which X-acto saw blades do you use? The keyhole or the square ones? I imagine if you use the square you have to grind them.

Uh, at that time, yeah the tiny little keyhole ones.

I switched to a scroll-saw blade (actually 2 at once cuz they are SUPER thin) and then started using the Kemper zig-zag saw. Now I use the kemper and follow with a file.

I like Steve's (Vermont freehand) slot file.
Easy to use and no bloodletting (unless you're getting very creative).

Steve's slot file is the Kemper zig-zag saw. They work better for longer if you get a pin vise to secure it in.

That's a good idea. I have had to glue them together, and I've bent a few - if I had a handle for them that I could adjust..... yes.... YES! Muhhaahahaha

X-acto saws are great and for larger stems, I use a modified jig saw that cuts on the backstroke!!! files and rolled sandpaper do the rest! The pin vise thing sounds good and I may start using them again. I quit using them due to easy breakage and cost!!!

You guys are way too rough! Didn't you know pipes are all about finesse?

Sorry, I'm surprised a South African even knows the word "finesse" let alone makes a claim on it. Shouldn't you be driving around bonking Boers on the head or something?

He is Boer!

Inderdaad. Dom Kanadese. Slegs Boere is sterk genoeg om pipemakers wees!

Is he? I can never remember who's who in these things.

Also there has to be a boer/boar/bore joke in here somewhere.

See, even a Pommie knows about Boere!
