MORA WOOD Woodcraft

[Sasquatch]

ALL lathes are made from metal, Bruce. You really ARE a bumwuzzle.

And never take yourself or your own advice too seriously.

[Tyler]

You had me at, "Tyler gives wonderful advice, listen."

Okay, let's come together.
Briar is good. Other crap is just that, CRAP.
Wood lathes are good for pepper mills. Metal lathes are good for pipes.
Ebonite stinks.
Use briar.
Corn cob pipes should not be mentioned on a forum dedicated to pipemakers.
Use briar.
Tyler gives wonderful advice, listen.
Metal lathes.
I hate being moderated by someone that doesn't know pipes or humor.
Use briar.
I like Sas. Why? Hell if I know!
Metal lathes.
Simeon is going to be a fine pipe maker and understands pipe making.
Use briar.
Ernie is also going to be a good pipe maker, but is such a douche.
Metal lathes.
Your early pipes are going to suck. If you want feedback, don't be a sissy.
Use briar.
LEARN TO MAKE THE CLASSICS! Try to make a proper billiard, it ain't easy.
USE BRIAR.
Remember, any job is easy, as long as you have the right tools. Save and buy good equipment.
Search the forum. Quit asking dumb ass questions that have been answered in detail. I would suggest going back and reading the advice of Todd Johnson and Tyler, from the beginning. Duh!
And, one last thing, use briar.

You could have saved me something like 400 hours wasted reading posts around here if you'd have posted this summation two years ago.
