The start of my pipe workshop


Why didn't the old guy throw a sheet over the lathe before he painted.

The overspray is killing me.

A long way to go before i have a pipe to put tobacco in  

Does this room look familiar HH.

    2. It is that. We could have a real blast in a shop like that.
      Wonder if Oz is ready for all three of us?

  2. Good gawd I hate you. There are not enough words to describe how much. If I was there right now I'd Borkum Riff in all your baccy jars.

    I am So freakin' jealous. I can't even get my carnauba to melt. And no files from Japan yet. And you have a freakin' workshop almost done. ***SOAB!***

    1. Hahahahaha mission accomplished.
      The super crappy gouges/chisels are bad loose there edge instantly
      maybe i can use the handles. Should have known better.
      I know i have some metal lathe high speed steel somewhere.
      With stainless steel welding rods i could weld tool steel.
      to SC chisels mmmmm.
      By hook or by crook i will have a chuck and some proper tools 1 day.
      Still i haven't had it a week yet.

  3. HAHA! Yeah, I recognize it, that room got me through some hard times. Warms the cockles to see it being used for pipe making - strange where life takes you.
