Hi Carl what brand of depth gauge is that and where can I get it?

[therightsouce]

doesn't your hand hurt from all the vibration? 

[haydenHD]

@therightsouce No, there really is not a whole lot of vibration.

Hi Jeff,

I cut them out on the band saw and just use scrap 2x4.

i think i am going to have to get a lathe just so i can make a massive mess in my dad's shed :) ahah

[bretona]

i bet you could make awesome tobacco pipes...

[haydenHD]

I can try are they lined with something or all wood.

@haydenHD

The tricky thing with it is that they are made from Briar. Some are made from rosewood and such.

you can buy what are called briar ebauchons which are cut to size. but it would require the use of a band saw to get a rough outline before taking it to a chuck and lathe for the actual shaping. It might be something you would like to look into, I'm not sure. There are some good videos of it on here though!!
