Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

Mike, that pipe is CRAZY! What a fantastic job you did! The grain almost looks 3 dimensional.

You bet yer butt illdo some of this with ivory. The contrast will look incredible.

Just wondering if any of the guys at work can spot the difference between Andrew in minor, vs major asshole mode,, hahaha. Can just imagine you up in the joists cussin and swearin, hittin things.
I miss construction actually now that I think about it...

We have a lot of fun at work. Sometimes to much. I'm lucky to have a good bunch of guys to work with.

A few thoughts on that. We spend 1/3 of our waking hours at work. It is a big influence to the rest of our lives. Being happy at work is a giant accomplishment. When growing up we get certain messages from our mentors. The one message that I have worked very hard to pass on is " the only requirements to being successful is to be happy and to be self supporting". It sounds to me like there are some very successful people around here.

I kinda miss construction too. Framed houses for 20 years. And those pouches will last you forever Andrew. Very nice my friend.

My last set I bought at the local hardware store. It's made by Task, has worked great for 5 or so years but it has its flaws. I love the way these pouches are set up, and from the reviews, I'm thinking I'll really really like it.

A valid quote from the guy that lives somewhere around here..

I'm at the blue circle BTW.

Thanks Mike. I am actually about 100 Kim's north of the pin on the north coast, when I am at home, and when I am at work I am about 20 Kim's south of the pin.

My last carpentry belt is a modular design corduroy nylon, also by occidental

Nice bag brother!
Weigh yourself with it on

Aloha!



Just got a 100 blade re-supply of my favorite Voskhod DE blades. I'm glad Amazon has them now, with Prime delivery for $11.00. I have a freind that ordered 1,000. I'm not kidding. He loves them so much he ordered a lifetime supply in case the factory ever shuts down. I may order another 100 just in case, but 1,000 is a bit overkill IMO. But to each their own!

Arriving tomorrow via Prime is a re-supply of some aftershaves.

Also getting some Orange Blossom Aftershave and a new neck duster and powder bowl on Monday. I put Pinaud Talc in a powder bowl and use a neck duster after shaving my back neck (with a mirror of course).

Mahalo!

That grain, and contrast is just so unique. My next build, no finish I believe as on this pipe. Cause every finish I used filled that calligraphy looking contrast and the project became solid black. Beautiful, but solid black..

Now you turn a handle out of this stuff, and some of that ivory you have!!!
OMG, that'd be the HarryWally Special I'd have to buy..

Superb work on that pipe Mike.

I was actually going to post, that pipe makers refer to bogwood as Morta and create some awesome looking pipes with unique grains but then you go and post a pipe made out of Morta/Bog wood.


@Harrywally, great looking workbelt.
