Re: Intent verse Result

jazz has been music of the stoners, by the stoners, for the stoners from day one . . . A sense of history more than arrogance In purely historical terms, from William Randolph Hearst's campaign to outlaw hemp (after realising he'd be taking a multi-million dollar bath on his investment in Northern ...

Re: Intent verse Result

Meh. (Sorry, Rad). You don't need to be drinking (or a drinker) to appreciate poetry. But jazz has been music of the stoners, by the stoners, for the stoners from day one. A lot of it doesn't get across any other way. Fair sized chunk of arrogance/ignorance right there. I'm a professional musician ...

Maaaan I'd kill for one of your pipes. Your aesthetic really appeals to me.

Re: Very First Pipe

Alright, I don't know jack shit, but here's my best imitation of someone knowledgeable. I'm certain you'll get better advice soon. You did a lot of things very well, and all around, that's a great first pipe. Particularly nice work on the stem/shank and the shank/inlay junctions, which both look nea...

Re: 2012 Pipe In the Hat Trade

Might as well say it now; I'm gonna have to drop out. I probably won't be making any pipes for awhile, actually, but I still love combing the gallery to look at the works of art you guys are producing.

Keep it up!

Looks like a Meathod design! Go check out his website-particularly the 'craftsmanship' section-for a great tutorial showing some of his unique methods. I bet he could help you out on this one.

Re: Can you have glue in the tobacco chamber?

Also, I'm no expert here, but in instrument repair we use heat to soften and split glue joints. Heat degrades most types of wood glue. I gather pipe tobacco burns at around 500 deg C, which is pretty darn hot. I believe CA breaks down at around 200 deg F. This is pretty typical for standard wood glu...
