    Finished Cutty—My Apologies to the Moderators for not Placing it Here

    Thanks folks! greeneyes that is amazing! Do you have any schematics/drawings of your rig? jp, The slot needs to be thinner and straighter to me. I have a number of purchases from an artisan who makes various tools but I've just been using my VFH slot files.

    Finished Cutty—My Apologies to the Moderators for not Placing it Here

    hey pepesdad1, that button makes me want to tear my hair out if I had any left to tear out. Probably redo the stem. Or sell it at a much reduced cost or try to straighten it out but I'm running out of material. Two things I'm still struggling with, the button/slot and a seamless join at the...

    Finished Cutty—My Apologies to the Moderators for not Placing it Here

    Here is the finished product. I forgot to take a few pics of the button and slot. Will do later but my border collie is whining to go for a run. My next cutty will have the spur moved to it's proper location. The stem is hand turned 11.75mm Japanese ebonite. I got impatient waiting for my...

    Cutty Question

    Thanks guys, ah man, kc, I sure ain't no expert. I honestly don't know the answer. But hopefully the next cutty will be a fairer rep.

    Cutty Question

    I was wondering if someone would please tell me what the correct location is for the Spur? Below is a picture of one I'm almost finished and a good friend mentioned that the spur was probably out of position. I know there is no randomness in making any shape, and there has to be a precise...

    A Picture Of My Import Duty From Alberta/Canada

    Yeah, I have no idea how the government works or why sometimes I think it's random or maybe the guy/gal who looked at was having a bad day. Who knows. I wish I had the ability to cellar up but I can't, at least not getting hit like that. Actually Elvis, that 200gr believe is a myth. I checked...

    A Picture Of My Import Duty From Alberta/Canada

    I know there are a lot of threads on the topic of import costs on tobacco but I wanted to share today's experience on an order that the postal worker brought to my door. I was so shocked I asked if I could take a picture of the Canadian import duty form and he let me. He was most sympathetic...

    Second Egg

    This is my second try at an egg. The stem/shank intersection isn't the best but I think after emailing back and forth a few time with a friendly artisan, that issue is in the past. Anyway, here it is. I'm going to post on the makers forum as well to hopefully receive their input as well. Oh, and...
