***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Pine cones would probably taste great in that beauty! I mean, anything in it would probably taste great, even pine cones. No, I don't smoke them. Beautiful pipe, nice work!- Briarcutter

A Stark Warning
I've seen many old pipe cleaners over the years. odd thing is, or isn't, is that they all seem to be the same general length, of course with the exception of those made for church wardens. Maybe the length was intended for cleaning the pipe with the mouthpiece attached?- Briarcutter

Harbor Freight Buffing Wheel
I agree, I use mainly unstitched wheels. Stitched wheels are great, hold compound very well and have their applications, mainly for aggressive material removal. Some are even chemically treated to hold the compound longer. I use them only for aggressive first step metal polishing. Unstitched...- Briarcutter

Harbor Freight Buffing Wheel
If you're using 3500 RPM 4 inch wheels may be fine. You're getting into SFPM and you'll have to research that, or not. If it works for you and you've developed your own technique, go with that. Very beautiful art has been created with very few and simple tools in the right hands. Many tools are...- Briarcutter

Harbor Freight Buffing Wheel
Yes, you do polish the pipe after your final sanding, at least that's the way I do it. I'm only speaking of my own experience. Sand the pipe to your standards, polish with polishing compounds, then apply the wax and polish or buff the wax as a final step. When I say "polish" I just mean buff the...- Briarcutter

Harbor Freight Buffing Wheel
Yes, you have to "polish" the wax. I really load up the wax wheel with carnuba, wax the pipe,then it looks milky and dull. Then with a clean soft wheel the the magic begins. Start off with junker pipes till you get the hang of it, there is a learning curve. Those wheels can grab a pipe right out...- Briarcutter

Harbor Freight Buffing Wheel
You may consider using a bench grinder and adaptors to mount wheels. 1725RPM Is a pretty good speed. What ever you use you'll need one wheel to apply the wax and another clean wheel to remove excess and polish. I use 6X1 buffs. I've never used a buff as pictured but it may work for you.- Briarcutter

Sorry for your loss. They make some very good non toxic wood glue. Not sure how the non toxic version works with moisture but they glue cutting boards together with it. Someone here has the solution.- Briarcutter

Some Sutliff dark Kentucky with Carter Hall. Wasn't bad, not sure I'd mix up a pound of it though.- Briarcutter
