Re: Things I have learned in the last week
I learned to think about what size I want the shank to be and to look at the bit before I start. Hard to keep a 5/16 mortise on a 3/8 shank. Maybe I'll use the "scrap" to make tamps with?

Hmmm, if you don't do pipes full time, work will always somewhere get in the way.

If it's a little bit scary, you're probably doing it right.

Hmm... Currently dipped into my pipe cleaning everclear with pineapple juice. Thinking maybe I'll tear back into this not so billiard. Maybe I'll just finish my drink?lancefisher51 wrote:Sometimes drinking and carving leads to too much carving an not enough drinking....

Oh what I learned this week? More about how a billiard should be. And I read a thread where someone said to turn your tool rest and face the pipe as if it were a bowl and you'll get a smoother turn. Indeed and I tend to manage my tool a little better at that posture. Thanks who ever it was.

Oh no! If a machine is going to turn, no alcohol comes over these lips!
