Hey, any of you guys ever file on the bottom of your stummel and find a pit and the more you file the bigger it gets and then you realize it's the draft hole?
I'm, uh... asking for a friend.

Never on the bottom of the stummel. But, I know a guy that knows a guy that has sanded into the airway on top of the shank a time or two or three.

I know a guy who's done that too. But, y'know, it's not me.wdteipen wrote:Never on the bottom of the stummel. But, I know a guy that knows a guy that has sanded into the airway on top of the shank a time or two or three.

I once finish sanded a pipe, then I noticed a red glow on the inside of the bowl- apparently light was shining through it was so thin.
Re: Pits on the stummel
Um, not so far. Weird. Knock on wood, heh.
I have done other terrible things, just not that.

I haven't done it in a while, but I have done it. Not sanding through your airway is a lot like sex, it's just a matter of knowing where the holes are.
Re: Pits on the stummel
I'm pretty sure it's something everyone has done.

Re: Pits on the stummel
you guys watching my shop? Cheap drills will go right through. Now the that I think about it , expensive drills do too. Now how did I draw that line. Just the pipe gods keeping us humble.
