What's the collar for?
And of course.... the collar only got more refined from there.Yes those are the ones I start with, then I drill them out for the cup screen and smooth the edge with a diamond file and fire polish the end or ends if was cut to be a shorty. Recently purchased a rather pricey diamond saw just for dealing with these. Of course it also gives me some flexibility to try new glass things.
I recently made a "collar" out of wood which you can put around a stem when stirring. This allows you to stir and tamp a load without dumping it out.
here is the collar (still a little rough, didn't smooth the upper edge yet)
And on a stem
Looking down into the stem
The side wall is about 3/8" deep so a fully loaded stem can be stirred and tamped without spilling a crumb (well you might spill a crumb or two, depending on your level of medication)
This wood is called leopard wood, I believe it is the same as lace wood, I have a question out to the supplier to confirm that.
And again thanks to @Alan for tips on wood finishing. This was sanded smooth and then rubbed with beeswax and buffed while spinning in the lathe. Gives a nice shiny finish. The interior is bare wood.
What an efficient way to go!
Lovely too~
@soulfulrebel.MC thanks bud! I'm hoping it gets here soon haha. Been to long that's for sure. Thinking it will be here Monday! Just a guess haha. Unreal, just checked tracking and it's making its way back to ppn?!?!? Fuckin A! It was at my post office and they did nothing for me. It says it's being routed from my post office. Makes no sense. It said couldn't deliver package today and I was home all day @PPN
WTF ?? That's messed up. I hate when things like that happen. I feel for you. It's worse when you're waiting for that thing as well.
I had a step down transformer for a turntable cartridge hand built and sent to me from france. I waited ages for my friend to build and ship it to me. ( 6 months at least ) The power button was faulty so I sent it straight back to my friend in france to fix, and the post office threw it away !! Saying I couldn't send sealed lead acid batteries via the post. Yet they Freckin' delivered them to me.
I was so mad, they could've just send the damn thing back to me but no, charged me £20 ( $30) for the delivery they didn't make.
I've been neglecting the MVT because I've been busy and waited a little too long to resupply and had to fall back on my emergency schwag that was gifted to me. I have to vape so much of it and it's so lame that I'm only using the UD through water.
I remembered I had a couple hits left of good weed in the stem in the MVT this morning and it made the morning workout a whole lot better. Working on resupply, will definitely be spending more time with the MVT once I have some fire again.
here is how I load oil with cotton or hemp fiber
There were three hits taken but the lighting was bad to show the vapor. The third hit was a cougher though.
Background music is "Night in Tunisia" by Charlie Parker.
All that is totally absurd.... but it looks like things like that happens. I refunded you yesterday @Zow237 , I hope the package will go back safe to me without more fees. Since how the shippings are difficult I'm hesitating to send it again to the States... This is the third package I ship to the States from France encountering difficulties... in some months.... is it a result of the Trump administration ?!@soulfulrebel.MC thanks bud!

All the packages I receive in France from the States are well delivered. Why is it not working so well in the other way?
I know its kind of done I would send a picture of the shipping label to @Zow237 it could just be the way that its read in your country for packages is different format than ours.All that is totally absurd.... but it looks like things like that happens.
