Got my kits today

Post by sgresso »

Well i got 3 of the kits i owdered today from PIMO.

I started to rough out the first pipe I am working on.

Judging by the Cross grain I am looking at making a nice straight Billard for my first pipe.

I will post pics when I get it done.
I am going to work on it tomarrow at my grandfathers workshop.
I am thanfull he has a full shop where I have all the tools I could ever need!

So far this has been a blast just trying to find the right shape for the pipe!

I do have one question.

does any one know of a basic Shape chart that I could use for some small templates for basic shapes?
I would prefer something that is pencil that I could trace out on a pipe.
I looked online and only found shape charts that have pipes that are too small to blow up the shape on the computer.

Thanks for the help so far and the encouragement!!
I really think I am going to enjoy my new hobby!

Here is a site that should give all you need for shapes. I'm sure you'll find something here you like.

Here's a good, free image viewer you can use to blow them up to the size you want and print them out.
