    C&D Night Train

    Not so much of a review and maybe should be elsewhere. Does anybody else get a sour milk note when opening a tin, for those of you that have worked with red oak, it has that sour almost pissy smell to it.

    In Praise of mso489

    I too enjoy his musings (as @lawdawg put it) and get a giggle out of some of them. Keep up the good work @mso489

    Jean Shorts

    I'm a bigger guy that can set inside drinking ice water and look outside at the sunny weather and sweat. I work in an automotive repair shop that gets to 115°-120°F in the summer while bending over an engine that's 230°+, I'm wearing shorts like it or not!

    Meet Lumpy

    I seem to have a habit of putting a name to each pipe I make, somewhat for reference in my pictures to make them easier to find. Also don't care for numbering them, anyway, here's one I completed a couple days ago. Rest of the pics and specs here...

    Any Cat Lovers Around Here?

    Honest, I had a cat years ago that could jump up and open the doors, albeit we had the handles instead of knobs, she could also turn on the lights that way too. She also loved popcorn and jalapeno's.

    Shaping Up Nicely

    I actually kept sanding down after seeing the initial crack, just to see. There was no outward indication of any cracks until I started shaping the bowl while it was still on the lathe, thats when a small pit showed up. After taking it off the lathe and starting to shape the bottom side that...
