Thats right Woody, 3 grams of baccy, 5 mins to load up, 1 min to light .... Who lasts the longest?. I think it was around 58 minutes to win the clay. Not a bad time at all. Although, I think the world record for 3 grams is over 3hrs. Ember chasing technique required to achieve at time like...

Mud, what a terrific letter from Sorby. Good on them - quite refreshing really in this chiwanese age. They can count on me as a customer thats for sure. Esc.

I wonder if that is why they called it the Patriot? It is on my shopping list, I am pleased it is British as well. Esc.

Hello Shultzy, Hope to catch you at the show - I will be there on Saturday enjoying myself. Hope I don't have too bad a hangover from Friday nights excesses :wink: Cheers, Esc. (Tony)

Thanks for the advice fellas, I am going to have a look at the Patriot Chuck at next weeks Harrogate show. It seems to be a good choice at the moment. PM sent Simon, thanks for your kind offer of the pdf file. I will take this to my pipe smoking club in Norwich. I am sure it will be of...

Hello there all, I am interested in having a go at making some smoking pipes with my new lathe. Here is a video of a lathe being used to make the initial shaping of the pipe bowl. http://www.tylerlanepipes.com/modules.p ... 0a%20Lathe I don't know whether members can tell What type of jaws /...

John, I am not an expert but Alan makes a good point. The LV BU smoother has the same blade size as the Low Angle Jack you already have. This means you can interchange the blades and have different bevels on each blade. I saw the BU smoother at Classic Hand Tools last week, it is not pretty...

Dibs, I hear tell (from various reviews on the net) that the beer and food at this Bar T'at is very very good. Beer particularly. Have you been to this place? Is it worth staying there for grub? I sense if we go for the later I may need to book something. Maybe you could have a look and let me...

Great, you won't miss me Dan. I will be the good looking one with the beer gut. 8)

Dan, I am driving up on the Friday with Woody Alan. We are staying at the Craiglands Hotel. Hope you are still up for a beer with Dibs. Good pub nearby called Bar T'at. Have yet to make final arrangements with Dibs. Looking forward to trip. Cheers, Esc. (Tony)

pob your right this is a warning to us all. My security is poor on reflection. I am going to do something about it. Even if I am in a sleepy back water, where we still leave our doors and windows open. sorry for your troubles mailee. I realise now how Tony Martin felt. (I think that was his...

Well I have cast my vote fellow competitors and friends. To my mind two pieces stand out - Robert's sideboard and Sean's table. I like them both for different reasons. Top skills and workmanship for the beginners category. I have however decided to vote for Robert's sideboard. In my opinion...

Welcome aboard Ed. I am sure you will add to the collective strength of the forum with your knowledge and skills. Regards, Esc.

I nipped over to CHT on Tuesday and had a rummage through the remaining rasps. I managed to pick up a no 9, 13 and 15. The handles are solid enough, but not pretty. In time I can replace these with something nice. I am glad I made the effort to secure a couple before it is to late. CHT still...

What ho ship mates, Has anybody heard any further news about Auriou? I wonder how likely it is that Mr Auriou will re start his business at some future time? Esc.

Lovely proportions to that piece. Like Philly I am amazed by that colour and finish on the top. Will have to give that a go sometime. Well done Pekka, nice one. Regards, Esc.
