Again, what's the difference between a ring and a band? Ring sandwiched, and band outside?

I like the bands. I think they go great with your pipe!AlfaDog wrote:Thank you for the help Walt. I still haven't developed that "pipe eye". I was going by these pictures and kept the look of the end of the shank, but I did add the bands for "bling" and to make it my own. I'm also practicing my bands alot and sticking them on near everything. I hadn't noticed until you said something but I can see just the tiniest sliver of daylight between the stem and the shank. You have a good eye. I also wish I had made the sliver at the rear of the saddle match the one at the front in thickness. What is the difference between a ring and a band?

I whipped that up in photoshop. I've only ever designed pipes on the side of a briar block with a sharpie!AlfaDog wrote: What program are you using to illustrate that? I've been looking for a simple 2D CAD program to draw furniture plans. Can you also design pipes on them or would that be more easily done by hand?

Glad you were able to clear that up!AlfaDog wrote:Good news Walt. I took just a C hair off the end of the tenon and the stem pulls right up the shank now with no gap. Thank you for seeing and pointing that out. I might get a wild hair now and fix that rounded over saddle.
