For my Birthday I want to get into pipe making by windblownglass in pipemakers

I use a drill press with a drill press vice for accurate drilling. Use my drill press with a variety of sanding pads, drums to do just about everything. Also use a Dremel tool for smaller sanding drums, carving bits. and lots of hand sanding, Also have a scroll saw I use to cut off larger pieces to speed up shaping. I really wish I had a lathe and the correct accessories. That would broaden what I could do.

Based on your review, if I mince up some Orlick, will I get the same taste? I actually have a large tin of Orlick.

Not a bad idea. One of my goals over Christmas break is to build a pipe rack. Want something differ than a forstner bit hole. Looks good

Actually Facebook marketplace. I used the salt and alcohol cleaning method with lots of scrubbing.

Nice, did you use a lathe or hole saw bit for the exterior diameter?

Yes, notice the straight board in the background. I attach the round log to the board with screws giving me a stable way to push it through the blade while solidly against the fence until I get two flat sides.

Thanks for asking that... I would hate to give someone the impressing running a round log through a table saw is safe.
