Aloha from Hawaii @Ed's TnT !
When I pictured the tamper end I was thinking of something like the fat end of a chopstick (but made of fine wood of course). That end need not be too heat resistant. Basically, if the material is good enough for a stem its good enough for a tamper.
I also want to stress that this shouldn't be TOO wide. I want to be able to use this in say, both my Solo and Nano stems/gongs.
Also sorry if this is incoherent. I kinda over did it with the edibles for the flight over here.

FlyingLow that is a real nice looking piece!
Ed i agree with Caligula and Rude Boy..the tamper end should just be wood..will save you time and hassles also...

wb vicki..hope all went well yesterday..now that you are back home you can pack one of eds stems and relax..
Hello and good morning everyone, been busy with all the wood and getting stuff squared away for the getaway with the wife tomorrow night. It sucks there will be no evening dinner on a river boat cruise on thursday nights! Say what??? Yeah was kinda let down but thats ok, I got it all scheduled to see the art exhibit when we get there, go to a really nice restaurant downtown for dinner, carriage ride picks us up there for a 1 hour historic tour where it will end on Beale st. so we can watch some live music and have a few drinks before calling it a night! Should be a winner, I know I will all ready be one for having the most wonderful woman by my side!
@Reflections @Caligula & @RUDE BOY I am digging the brass ferrule on the tamper end of the tool, it seems to really finish the piece in my eyes. Its really no more work to add the brass to the tamper either since I am already doing so to the other end of it. Its all up to ya'll or you Reflections, which would you rather have on the end of your tool? Its all I have left to make for you and hope to get it done by the end of the weekend so I can ship ya Monday. Oh and Reflections yours will also be getting the titanium blade instead of the SS now.
@Caligula I gotta tell ya, I was surprised just how lite that titanium is. I had held a sweet titanium Taurus pistol once that was badass and very lite weight but had forgotten just how lite. It sharpens very nicely but I was also surprised how it doesnt polish like SS. It has more of a grey tone to it which even after I hot it with 800 grit sand paper it was nothing more than soft and smooth so to speak not bright and shiny at all. No sweat though it is grade 2.
@FlyingLow Thanks for stopping by and posting the pics bro! I hope you had a good time while away for those days. Glad you made it back safely! The pics look great and I dig the look of that piece, really glad youre happy with it! I really like how I am finishing the pin now on the outside of the bushing, its so flush, you have to pay attention on some of them to even notice it has a pin from the outside. Did you get any butter with it? That will really give it a shine after some use. Wipe a little on and wipe it off for a lustrous sheen. Hmm dont know about cleaning the screen without removing the clip, it isnt really that hard to remove the clip anyhow. All you need is something thin and pointed yet strong enough to apply pressure while lifting it up to dislodge it. Swap out the screen, re seat the clip and your good to go. Thanks again for posting the pics, I love looking at them as do everyone else I am sure.
@P666R My man, sorry for the delay in getting to you, as I said above its been go go go round here. Its a freaking heat wave down here, not sure if you wanna come this far south, the humidity is miserable. They say its gonna feel like its 100+ here today. Gets awful hard to find a cool spot especially in the shade! Am gonna reply your PM shortly.
@Vicki Hope youre home and on the mend, hang in there and holla when you can girl!

@Vicki Thanks for the update! I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that pain is not unmanageable. I wish you didnt have to go through it is all.
@Reflections I think you will be happy with it no matter what! I am anxious to hear what you think, will send ya pics as soon as I am able.
@FlyingLow I appreciate you brother, am only doing what I know to do! Doing what my old man learned me long ago and I said before, if you took the time to stop by, I better take the time to acknowledge that! Thanks for the kind words!

enano WonG by Ed's Tnt
How much product can you guys fit in your WonGs? I can't seem to fit even a small micro amount without charring it black at 7

@VaporsVaporizer Thats what I am talking about, thanks for stopping by with the pics, I appreciate that and thank you for sharing them! I am so glad to hear you like them, they make a sweet pair with that amazing UD you are sporting! I hope you enjoy them for a long time to come.
@Caligula Hmm I hadnt even thought of using it with glass, that just shows you how much I use glass. I just think the brass ferrule on both ends sets the piece off. The brass on the tamper end will be 5/16" OD which is just a few sizes smaller than the ID of the Nano stem. I really wanna give it a try like that and once you have used it and put it through its paces I would like to hear all your feedback, if you feel it aint cool, then we will go from there. I appreciate all your help and input in advance bro, I look forward to your findings after using it.
@radiantchipmunk Hmm the bowl depth is a 1/2" and the same ID as they have always been. I have never had anyone else encountering this problem with their Nano wongs, not that I have a whole bunch of em out there but still not a mention. If you arent happy though I am not happy so lets talk about how I can make ya change that.

@Ed's TnT are your nano stems tapered to allow WonG connection like the solo stems? If not, is this possible? Thankyou my friend!
Good morning, pls forgive me for not getting back to you sooner Herbivore21, I thought I had answered everyone's post but later it struck me I hadnt yours, I do apologize! Normal straight Nano stems are not tapered to allow a wong. I can make one custom for ya that will fit either a 14 or 18mm if you like. Pls let me know which interests you and lets talk more about it. Again sorry for the delay bro and I wish you all the best!
