Anybody have information on what the typical degree of forward cant the cutty shape typically has?
For years I have been wanting to try this shape and just coming back from a two year hiatus, I feel now is the time.
Any information you can help out with would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Make a template from a Dunhill, you'll be good good to go.
It's one of the more difficult shapes to do well.

Re: Cutty information
Seeing as all the shapes seem a little daunting to this neophyte, I'm curious as to what makes the cutty particularly difficult?baweaverpipes wrote:Make a template from a Dunhill, you'll be good good to go.

The cant, the cheeks, the chin, the top of the bowl is not 90 degrees to the drilling, the stem shaping. I'm certain Chris A. would agree with me. He makes a fine one. It's one of my signature shapes and I love making them. They smoke like a dream.Hudson wrote:Seeing as all the shapes seem a little daunting to this neophyte, I'm curious as to what makes the cutty particularly difficult?baweaverpipes wrote:Make a template from a Dunhill, you'll be good good to go.

Re: Cutty information
This is a dirty lie. Chris Asswith make terrible cuttys. They look more like tugboats. Bruce Weeder makes cuttys, but they smoke like a bad dream. Like a dream where Wallenstein is chasing you through an amusement park filled with spinning sanding discs (24 grit ones, no less), and all you have on is a pair of assless chaps, and then just when you think you have escaped, Ernie Remarkable appears and throws you into a giant vat of tacky epoxy that he plans to use to glue his pipes together down the middle.baweaverpipes wrote:I'm certain Chris A. would agree with me.

Re: Cutty information
Sounds like you may have had that dream ...
Really, any dream involving assless chaps is bad, unless they're on the Dallas Coyboys cheerleaders.

Re: Cutty information
yep cuttys are deceivingly difficult... i made two miserable cutty failures this past weekend, methinks my drilling angles were off.
