roasterdave Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Not pipes yet but saw these at Exotic Woods in Burlington at 3/$40 and grabbed them. Hopefully this won't be another unfinished project on my workbench. Bos, Smokenscotch, Rye and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks6024 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Received my first commissioned pipe ever. Connected with an indie pipe carver out of Manitoba. He made it to my specs including a bone colored stem and a plateau top. Very excited to smoke this. Check out his work on Instagram.

Rick Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just a heads up to the Burlington area local guys. Village Cigar Co. Is selling pipe banks to carve whatever you like. Pretty neat idea especially if you don't own a lathe or have access to good wood. Just passing on some info.

roasterdave Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I've been lusting after a Peterson for a while and with Canadian dollar strong compared to the Euro I figured it was time to pull the trigger. It's a Peterson system 306, with P-lip. Hope to smoke it this weekend. Smokntaz, Smokenscotch, Hififarmer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roasterdave Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Any headway on these? I don't know, what's a head weigh? Â After doing a near perfect job lining up and drilling the holes I proceeded to turn it into a pipe turd. I got on the belt sander that had too aggressive of a grit and kept trying to even up the sides until there wasn't much left of it. The 2 lessons I learned was I shouldn't have taken any material off with the band saw and I should have used a finer grit on the sander. I've been procrastinating on attempting another.

vcool Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 i think im picking up a belt sander for this as well... what grit were you using? Â I've got an idea for a jig sort of idea for this but we'll see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roasterdave Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 i think im picking up a belt sander for this as well... what grit were you using? Â I have to admit I don't know what grit it was, 120 I think. I recently joined a woodworking club and after my orientation I just jumped in and started working on my pipe. Unfortunately the volunteer that was there didn't really know much about the sanders or where extra belts and discs were stored. Next time I go back I'll spend a little more time checking things out. Also they have 2 regular lathes and a pen lathe which I hope to get some help with from someone that knows how to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
