I was contacted by a person called Mark Kessler 202 Riverview Drive 53954 Pardeeville Wisconsin USA Tel 6084294847 email: kollect at verizon.net He sad he would write an article for Outdoor Life about master pipe carvers. I did not get back my pipes, so I wrote to Outdoor Life. Here the response: ?Dear Mr. Wagner, Mark Kessler is not writing an article for Outdoor Life about master pipe carvers. He does not write for us at all. We have heard from other pipe makers about him and his fraudulent practices. We spoke to him six months ago and told him to stop using our name to receive free pipes. He agreed at that time to stop. We are sorry for this unfortunate situation.? So be warned!

I saw that early this morning after reading replies from you and Rad on my last post. It's an amazing shame, part of what's wrong with the world, but perhaps good will come from it in the end. That's the ultimate revenge on idiots like this turkey hacker from Turkey. Hey, you suppose it's a part of a plot hatched by meerschaum carvers? Perhaps they were feeling left out as most of our activity is briar focused ;) Anyway Kurt, a great big thanks for all the work keeping the forum available in the first place, and now for setting this up as an alternative! I like lists better than forums for the most part anyway, but I learned an amazing amount by reading through all the threads on the forum. I hope it will be possible to preserve all that. Perhaps in a wiki--I seem to remember you mentioning developing a wiki someplace? If there is anything I can do to help in that effort or any other, please just let me know! Hope a bunch of folks make it over here to the list... Meanwhile, as I ponder what I'm thankful for in preparation for next week's festivities, I'm thankful for this community of pipe makers that have made it possible for noobs like me to get a leg up in learning the craft!

Tom Martin- Boston If I'm not mistaken, he uses "sanding sealer" - quite possibly the nitrocellulose version since that's what is readily available in Europe. You can find spray-on or brush-on nitrocellulose sanding sealer online at woodcraft.com, or at most good woodworking stores like Rockler. I think I've even seen it at Lowes recently. Nitrocellulose products are not plentiful here in the states due to governmental "assistance" in our daily lives. Not that I'm saying nitrocellulose is good for you, you have to be careful with the dust, but somewhere along the line it was demonized and manufacturers had to shift to other bases for laqcuers and other finishes. -- Kurt Huhn pipecrafter at pipecrafter.com http://www.pipecrafter.com From sethile.pipes at gmail.com Mon Nov 20 08:22:38 2006 From: sethile.pipes at gmail.com (Scott Thile) Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 07:22:38 -0600 Subject: [Pipemakers] Carbonizing Bowl & Sanding Question In-Reply-To: <78f5c73c0611200442t12e8a4f3g12178cb997c2c845@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <004201c70ca6$f37cdf20$7d01a8c0@lappy> Hello Tom, Glad you made it over here. Yes, it's a huge bummer to loose the forum. Kurt did a great job keeping it alive for us. I hope we can get it back up soon. So much info in those old posts. Wish I'd saved more of them someplace I could get at now. I remember seeing the Barbi info recently, but just can't recall it. The pre-carb thread is one I just read and even bought some stuff for, so I've got that handy. Of course like many things, its controversial. Most that use a pre-carb coating are using Activated Charcoal Powder as the base of it. They mix it either with Sour Cream and Butter Milk, or with a Sodium Silicate Solution (Todd Johnson mentioned the solution as an alternative to the sour cream and buttermilk, and that it was from the Danish school). He also mentioned adding pumice. In case your interested. I just ordered and received the Sodium Silicate Solution from the Science Company: http://secure.sciencecompany.com/Sodium-Silicate-Solution-500ml-P6375C0.aspx Someone mentioned being able to have a pharmacy order it for you. And I got my activated charcoal here: http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&P roduct_Code=AC106-003&Category_Code= Someone mentioned that it can also be purchased in capsule form in some health food stores. I may experiment around with it, but.... so far my pipes have smoked really good on the first bowl without any coating, and I really like the idea of keeping them un-treated. My problem is more aesthetic than anything. I get some stain bleed through occasionally, and I'm not real excited by how clean my chamber drilling is. Tempting to easily hide all that with the coating, but I'd rather not do that. I'd be interested in any thoughts on this. I guess it helps with consistency in the break in experience, but so far mine seem to be good smokers right from the first bowl. I'm not sure that I want to risk changing that....

I start with a couple spoonfuls of activated charcoal, then a spoonful of fine pumice powder, and add waterglass until it looks right. Thin, but not runny, and opaque. Note that it (or any boal coating, really) won't stick well to very smooth surfaces (like a waxed pipe), so be sure you've lightly sanded the tobacco chamber. I usually use 220-grit wrapped around my finger to make it ready for the coating. -- Kurt Huhn pipecrafter at pipecrafter.com http://www.pipecrafter.com From dnmkove at enter.net Mon Nov 20 09:16:10 2006 From: dnmkove at enter.net (dnmkove) Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 09:16:10 -0500 Subject: [Pipemakers] Archives Message-ID: <4561b8aa.372.14e17.756143163@enter.net> Kurt, You are the man....there is a place put asside for you in pipemaking heaven!

So sorry to hear it has gone down. My thanks to Kurt for doing the work for such a site. I am Bob Gilbert of Denton Texas. I started crafting pipes on the past Labor day weekend, just for myself and not to sell. So far I have completed nine. All have turned out much better than I could ever have imagined. I don't have any power tools except for a small $49 drill press sitting on my workbench and a buffing wheel and endless patience. All of my pipes so far have been freehands with push stems except for two I have done with fitted stems. These however are very difficult to do without the aid of a lathe or some other method to cut the stems. On both I have cut and fitted the stem with sandpaper. This, as you can imagine, takes a long time to do. Does anyone have suggestions for having a name stamp made? I asked this question on the ASP list and Rad Davis posted an address for A&M Steel Stamps in NY State. I haven't contacted them yet as I haven't quite made up my mind how I would like a stamp to look. Do you guys who use your name and a date code have two stamps made, one with your name and another for the date? I considered having a stamp made with my name and then purchasing a rotating number stamp. How do you solve this problem as cheaply as possible and any other possible companies for stamps? bob gilbert ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Compare mortgage rates for today.

Tom Martin- Boston If I'm not mistaken, he uses "sanding sealer" - quite possibly the nitrocellulose version since that's what is readily available in Europe. You can find spray-on or brush-on nitrocellulose sanding sealer online at woodcraft.com, or at most good woodworking stores like Rockler. I think I've even seen it at Lowes recently. Nitrocellulose products are not plentiful here in the states due to governmental "assistance" in our daily lives. Not that I'm saying nitrocellulose is good for you, you have to be careful with the dust, but somewhere along the line it was demonized and manufacturers had to shift to other bases for laqcuers and other finishes. -- Kurt Huhn pipecrafter at pipecrafter.com http://www.pipecrafter.com ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 07:22:38 -0600 From: "Scott Thile" Subject: Re: [Pipemakers] Carbonizing Bowl & Sanding Question To: "'A list for pipe makers to meet and discuss.'" Message-ID: <004201c70ca6$f37cdf20$7d01a8c0 at lappy> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello Tom, Glad you made it over here. Yes, it's a huge bummer to loose the forum. Kurt did a great job keeping it alive for us. I hope we can get it back up soon. So much info in those old posts. Wish I'd saved more of them someplace I could get at now. I remember seeing the Barbi info recently, but just can't recall it. The pre-carb thread is one I just read and even bought some stuff for, so I've got that handy. Of course like many things, its controversial. Most that use a pre-carb coating are using Activated Charcoal Powder as the base of it. They mix it either with Sour Cream and Butter Milk, or with a Sodium Silicate Solution (Todd Johnson mentioned the solution as an alternative to the sour cream and buttermilk, and that it was from the Danish school). He also mentioned adding pumice. In case your interested. I just ordered and received the Sodium Silicate Solution from the Science Company: http://secure.sciencecompany.com/Sodium-Silicate-Solution-500ml-P6375C0.aspx Someone mentioned being able to have a pharmacy order it for you. And I got my activated charcoal here: http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&P roduct_Code=AC106-003&Category_Code= Someone mentioned that it can also be purchased in capsule form in some health food stores. I may experiment around with it, but.... so far my pipes have smoked really good on the first bowl without any coating, and I really like the idea of keeping them un-treated. My problem is more aesthetic than anything. I get some stain bleed through occasionally, and I'm not real excited by how clean my chamber drilling is. Tempting to easily hide all that with the coating, but I'd rather not do that. I'd be interested in any thoughts on this. I guess it helps with consistency in the break in experience, but so far mine seem to be good smokers right from the first bowl. I'm not sure that I want to risk changing that....

I start with a couple spoonfuls of activated charcoal, then a spoonful of fine pumice powder, and add waterglass until it looks right. Thin, but not runny, and opaque. Note that it (or any boal coating, really) won't stick well to very smooth surfaces (like a waxed pipe), so be sure you've lightly sanded the tobacco chamber. I usually use 220-grit wrapped around my finger to make it ready for the coating. -- Kurt Huhn pipecrafter at pipecrafter.com http://www.pipecrafter.com ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 09:16:10 -0500 From: "dnmkove" Subject: Re: [Pipemakers] Archives To: "A list for pipe makers to meet and discuss."

Free christmas! :) Thanks guys, but it's not truly necessary. The site is hosted on the same server as my sales site, so it's not really a drain on money. It can be a PITA to keep up with vulnerabilities and keep things patched in terms of the back end code (AKA, that piece of shit PHPNuke that it was running on before), but hopefully I can find a much more secure alternative.

So sorry to hear it has gone down. My thanks to Kurt for doing the work for such a site. I am Bob Gilbert of Denton Texas. I started crafting pipes on the past Labor day weekend, just for myself and not to sell. So far I have completed nine. All have turned out much better than I could ever have imagined. I don't have any power tools except for a small $49 drill press sitting on my workbench and a buffing wheel and endless patience. All of my pipes so far have been freehands with push stems except for two I have done with fitted stems. These however are very difficult to do without the aid of a lathe or some other method to cut the stems. On both I have cut and fitted the stem with sandpaper. This, as you can imagine, takes a long time to do. Does anyone have suggestions for having a name stamp made? I asked this question on the ASP list and Rad Davis posted an address for A&M Steel Stamps in NY State. I haven't contacted them yet as I haven't quite made up my mind how I would like a stamp to look. Do you guys who use your name and a date code have two stamps made, one with your name and another for the date? I considered having a stamp made with my name and then purchasing a rotating number stamp. How do you solve this problem as cheaply as possible and any other possible companies for stamps? bob gilbert ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Sponsored Link Compare mortgage rates for today.

I can't imagine what goes through people's heads, or what justification they use that allows them to do things like that. As an anecdotal side note, I woke up one morning this past weekend and found that my youngest (Mackenzie, 7) had written on the trash can with a Sharpie. It's not an expensive trash can, maybe $10 at Lowes, but it was just the point.

You mentioned Paul at A&M. He is great for custom stamps!: A & M Steel Stamps 55 Windsor Ave, Mineola, N.Y. 11501 516 741 6223 I think most of the better pipemakers in this country are using Paul's stamps. I had him make a stamp for me with SEThile. The charge was $100 plus $7 for shipping, and well worth the money! They range in price depending on how many letters etc... Mine's a bit smaller than I will eventually want, and I may change the design too. Paul's stamps are made for pipes (wood) and cut much cleaner than the inexpensive sets, which are made for metal. I will eventually have him make several other stamps. They work so much better than the sets. For now I'm filling in with a cheep set for the year etc... Click here for a shot with my last nomenclature panel: http://pipedreams.radioministries.org/etude15_nom.jpg Mine stamping is never as clean and well aligned as I want them to be, but man is that tough, especially when using the sets! In the pic, the SEThile is the custom stamp, and the T in the SEThile, which didn't come out well this time, but normally does, is about 5/64" tall. This size was Paul's recommendation, and it's pretty close, but I it's a little smaller than I want), The rest of the letters and numbers are from a cheep 1/16" set from Harbor Freight. I can normally get the SEThile to come out a little cleaner than this one did. Stamping makes me extremely nervous and I have yet to get it to look decent, especially with the set stamps. It's about impossible to get them lined up and stamped cleanly. However, the sets are an excellent inexpensive way to start. I think 3/32" would be the best size, but I could not find a cheep set of those. I use the 1/16" set to fill in with now, and before the custom stamp I used 1/8" for my initials. I've seen some great looking nomenclature panels and really hope to get mine cleaned up soon! Cheers, Scott _________________ Scott E.

I've just not gotten around to finishing the artwork and sending it to Paul. But, on that subject, I prefer the look of hand stampings. Yes, they may be slightly off, and they might not be perfect, but you can tell that a person did it - with his own hands. To me, that's very important. So, don't sweat the small stuff. Dn't worry about making it perfect, just that it is legible when you're finished, and folks can read it. Everything else will work out once you realize that you never will make it "perfect". -- Kurt Huhn pipecrafter at pipecrafter.com http://www.pipecrafter.com From bvartist at netscape.com Tue Nov 21 18:41:38 2006 From: bvartist at netscape.com (David Johnson) Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 17:41:38 -0600 Subject: [Pipemakers] Carbonizing and Sanding Replies References: <770c5ec40611210847j4f7d459alc024164de8200fe8@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <000d01c70dc6$98aae210$c85aa6ac@MyMachine> Tom, Harbor Freight Tools, I think a set of stamps is $5.99 I find them to work better if I press the stamp into the briar rather than striking them.

I've just not gotten around to finishing the artwork and sending it to Paul. But, on that subject, I prefer the look of hand stampings. Yes, they may be slightly off, and they might not be perfect, but you can tell that a person did it - with his own hands. To me, that's very important. So, don't sweat the small stuff. Dn't worry about making it perfect, just that it is legible when you're finished, and folks can read it. Everything else will work out once you realize that you never will make it "perfect". -- Kurt Huhn pipecrafter at pipecrafter.com http://www.pipecrafter.com ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 17:41:38 -0600 From: "David Johnson" Subject: Re: [Pipemakers] Carbonizing and Sanding Replies To: "A list for pipe makers to meet and discuss."

I highly recommend those and suggest you start there too: www.tylerlanepipes.com How you get started will depend on the tooling you have access too. Many pipemakers started with this book--it's very basic that focuses on techniques that can be done with minimal tooling.. The same outfit also sells kits and supplies: http://www.pimopipecraft.com/book.html Hopefully the pipemakers forum will be back up soon. That's an amazing treasury of excellent information--meanwhile here are a couple of other good things to check out on the web. Good basic pictorial outline of the process: http://www.jspipes.com/PipeMaking/index.htm http://www.theitalianpipe.com/ Click on PipeMaking, then Moretti, then the Moretti Slide Show. That's another interesting approach. Interesting little glimpse into yet another method, click on the pipemaking booklet: http://www.talbertpipes.pair.com/resworkshop.shtml Video: Click on JT Cook Seminar for a Great video of an excellent pipemaker making a pipe and then sandblasting it: http://www.chicagopipeshow.com/education/video_broad.php Pipe Kits and supplies: http://www.amsmoke.com/ Pipe Kits, supplies, and tools: http://www.jhlowe.com/briar.htm Either of the above makers will also custom make you a kit based on what you want to have to work with. A lot of pipemakers get started with kit pipes (holes pre-drilled and a fitted pre-molded stem). Here's a great source of supplies: http://pipemakers.org/ I'm still very new to this too, but I'm having a great time with it! Lots of other great stuff out there.

You can see a picture of it at this link: http://www.pipemakers.org/tools/tenoncutter.jpg The reason is, I am only going to produce custom, hand-cut stems for the pipes I am making. Thus, I need to utilizing a metal-style lathe for this type of task. Yes, I realize it's much easier to use pre-made stems, but this is the route I have decided to take. This machine has been used very little, and has been well taken care of. It was cleaned after every use. Unlike the PIMO tenon cutter and the JH Lowe model, it is self sufficient, as it comes equipped with a Baldor motor. All you do is plug it into a 110v plug, set the cutter to whatever size you wish (with an allen wrench), and it's ready to go. If you use the same diameter mortise, then it should never need re-adjusting. However, it is easily re-adjusted if you decide to change diameters. It is a very nice, well-built machine, and I will let it go at a very reasonable price. If anyone is interested, you may contact me at ghiadude at aol.com.

Can't wait to see it back up. Thanks very much for all your work, Kurt! I like the idea of keeping this list available too. I like both formats. The forum is a great treasury of topically organized information that evolves. This list format is great to post or answer a quick query, or to just stay in touch without having to wade through the forum. All the best, Scott _________________ Scott E.

Message-ID: <78f5c73c0611300454i4a771d9fs7050eb3b0289f2bf@mail.gmail.com> Hi guys, last issue I got was Volume 1:Issue 10. Maybe I'm missing something so I checked the forum and it was still hacked up. If you're all still out there I wanted to run something by you. , something akin to herding cats. I'd like to get together some of us pipemakers who aren't prolific enough to justify a table at one of the big pipe shows, ohio, va, or NY. I personally make about 1 1/2 pipes a week, and am never able to accumulate more than 1 0r 2 pipes at a time. I thought If I could get together enough pipes from all of us "hobbyists" and everyone pay a bit to be represented I could get a table at one of the shows. It not so much about "selling" as it is about exposure. I think we get a bad rap because we work out of our basements, garages and sheds, don't have websites, have "day jobs" etc. .. But I can't get a table at a show and lay out 2 pipes I think its a shame that there is no mentor or apprentice system here in the states. Ultimately, I'd like to see ALL US pipemakers become members. In the states its "everyman for himself, and we are products of this non-system. The forum effectively fills that gap in a way, But I envsion the "Guild" with: - representation at at least one show a year with apx 50 of our best pipes - a nice portfolio containing pipemakers bios - a website/consignment shop - a community which exists and convenes outside the internet - Co-operative buying power for briar ( i cant afford a Sackful but the onsies method ain't working either) I was once a board member of an Artists Guild and I know the beauty of having a show. I am working on a website to back this thing up but am delayed because I don't know what to call it "Pipmakers Guild? Union? Co-op? Any ideas. ? Lastly, whats up with the forum and or/ list? Is it done? Sincerely, Tom Martin 978-578-7349 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
