Sailor... On the lower end MM's sometimes the hole in the shank is off center... This one happened to be one of those... I had to compensate for that, but it turned out well for $3.30 and 10 minutes of work...Quote:

Nose,
That looks like the perfect jacket pocket pipe. I will make one. Is that the stock stem or, a Walker "Forever"?
BTW, I hate to startle a opossum. I must have some sort of primal aversion. Your shot defines why.
That is the stock MM Stem... They feel pretty good... Beware... this pipe is for smoking and nothing more.. :)Quote:

That dude looks angry. Get yourself a cat or two to keep the rats away from the neighborhood. Cats are ok against little fellows like mice, vole, polecat and shrew as well.Quote:

They can be bought from this mob Australasian Knife Collectors (AKC) for $50 Aus plus postage. The as new edge needed improving on mine, but the knife is made with the idea that everyone will customise it to suit themselves anyway. And for $50 bucks, I don't expect perfection...Oh yes, I should mention it is an Aussie design, but it is made (to a set standard) in Pakistan.Quote:

This was just a job for myself that I've had on the backburner for a long time.Quote:
