Nice work on the core UD, I dig the pics, those are worth a thousand words!

Damn Rick, you are on fire with all these new upgrades, its one after another!!! You are the MAN! That train to Zapville is an exciting journey!

Very nice work Underdog, all your pieces are sleek and elegant, all true works of art! I wish you much luck!

Just got my LB to bong adapter this afternoon, got a couple to beta, the glass joint is 14mm, my tubes are damn near that now, not a problem at all to make that happen.

Thanks for the info Alan, I will look into this more. Would like to see those wooden tapers, sound interesting, havent been turning that long, only a couplea years, not anyone I can learn from near, tips and techniques are welcome bro!

Good thinking Gvape, I like what you have done to make the tubes so versatile! Great job! I have to get back at finishing some dugouts I have put together. The Sindora is really nice, I am gonna get back to working tubes soon, just never enough time. If anyone knows where I can find some please...

Wow Ace that is the SHIT!!! I really like the rig and the station, that is a hellova dispay! Am curious though, what is the ID of the inner hole from wood to wood, and how far is its depth? Very smart bro, you have done good!!!

True that!

Snakewood is a beauty and super dense, have worked a couple of times, it finishes so well, really like glass when done but is so prone to checking when working, every time I see it anywhere there is always a reference to working it with CA glue, it seals the cracks and checks really well.

Holy cow mom that RZ you have is spectacular, you know I have a thing for burls. Am really excited every time I visit here, there is so much happening, its like a fresh breeze blowing through!

Not sure what Alan gonna tell ya Orestes but buying lumber/blocks and all that can be tough. I like to get my wood as dry as possible, wanna be around 5-8% moisture content, most boards you find are kiln dried and will be stated, I dont think anyone kiln dries burls caps and chunks, they usually...

Hello out there, that Coco is a hella piece Fried, glad you're happy with it and thanks for the kind words! The pics look great, you gotta love that eye staring at you. I really gotta get some more blackwood MOM, I am really intrigued by that species for tubes now, it does something to me when...

Wow Rick you are making some ground breaking changes there at Zapville, I am glad to see all the new upgrades and am really excited for you. Is the rock just a ceramic sleeve so to speak with a bottom? That will definitely be a great heat shield. Redwood Burl is a beauty, 5A lace burl will make...

I knew the blackwood was gonna be a sweet piece, only had a few and all that I had was scooped up not long after I listed em, I am currently out of it and have to get some more of that species MOM, with all thats happening round here its gonna be a few weeks probably before I have some more...

Hello and good morning, Kewpcer thats an interesting use of the LB stem, length is something I cant do, the bit is so small in diameter that the least amount of pressure will bend the bit and force it to bore crooked, I am able to get a bit that is longer but that will allow it to bend even...

Very nice technique TV, that is smart way of making them useful for both devices. The tubes & tips are a little different now then what I was doing at first, I like the way they are now with the tips pushed up in the wood more. There will not be any more changes in those, they are now what...

Thanks for the info fellas, I was thinking it was about the size of a coffee thermos. I have only used a whip type with a VB, it was different than the log style for sure, took some getting used to. Just didnt like the fact of how much herb it took to pack a bowl. Does this unit use alot? I like...

I have been eyeing this unit the last couplea dayz, I dig the look of it, but am wondering what is the heat source? Has it been mentioned here? What do you all that have it think of the overall length of it? is it a stationary piece?

Hope all is well out there, here is a pic of the Amboyna chunks I had mentioned back, both together wiegh 50lbs., they are the biggest and most expensive pieces I have ever purchased. Both are full of eyes, very rich and have high figure, the golden sapwood is a big plus, these will make a whole...
