Tamp This ! Shades of Lucite

[PenWorks]

Well I'm still thinking of what these pipe makers might buy.
I hope something. [)] Made some more pipe tampers out
of lucite, all from pipemakers.org , one is ebonite.
Had to machine the brass plugs, what a pain. I thougt these
would be quick and easy to make. Well I thought wrong

Prior to buffing and assembly

Nice job Anthony. Hard to figure what people are going to buy. Hope you do well at the show. Atleast you will get your name out. By the way, thanks for the help on Friday, will be trying it sometime this weekend

Anthony just think of all the fun you are having.

Those look great Anthony, hope they sell well for you![][]

Pretty cool stuff. Are the brass plus there so you can turn them on a mandrel or pin chuck?
I guess if people don't like them you can tell them to "put it in their pipe and smoke it". Okay okay GONG!!! I just couldn't resist.

Oh yeh.....I'm having lots of fun [V]

I am packing up my stuff for the demo tomarrow at the pen show and I'm ambarrased how my Jet Mini looks [:0] I had to smack it a couple of times as I think it was CA to my work bench ! Tried to clean it, but that was useless. So I hope I sell enough to cover a new mini for when I have to go out in public []

Kevin, that was weak [] The brass plugs are for tamping the tobacco. I seen some with silver. I thought about melting some silver I had and cast some, but glad it was just a thought []

Very nice as usual Anthony.

As Don said, "As usual, beautiful work!" Good luck!

Anthony: I'd be concerned about traces of mercury in silver... and the tampers look awesome! That stuff might sell at a smoke shop as well..

Beautiful work as always Anthony. Did you use a metal lathe or your Jet to machine the brass?
