Out for breakfast this morning. Will grab a pic and post later.
After that I may cut the grass or may sit on the porch and watch the world go by. Not sure yet. Need to head to the apartment house later in the afternoon so I can let a contractor in to do some work. Want to play in the shop some too. How's that for proper retirement? |

No breakfast pic so here is a nice coffee pic with my latest pipe project. Apple and store bought stem. No finish, just sanded and polished on a cotton wheel. Decided it's hot out and the front porch is shaded and quiet.

You should source some briar or at least olive wood for some pipes. They will handle the heat better if you are going to smoke them. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Jeweled/polished internals on the Tuff scales? Kindof looks like in the photo but it's just the tool marks from the endmill that faces off that side. It's the overlapping passes from a 3/8" endmill. Smooth as glass and it leaves a really neat finish. I'll see if I can take some interal pics to show it up close. I do want to try programming some jeweling work on my mill to jewel the stainless liners on the slip joints, I think that would look really cool. |
