Top work Brother! Really beautiful craftsmanship. To quote Ma Kelly from "Jonny Dangerously", " I've been thinkin' of taking up smoking,...this clinches it"!
The nut allows (in my experience, anyway) you to build the entire stack, using a slower curing glue, use a nut and washer to clamp it all down, then set it to one side to cure. Just a thought. It works for me
Yes they are carriage bolts. You have to mill off the corners under the head and flatten out the top of course, but carriage bolts seem to be the best fit to the bill so far for this kind of tamper.
Great video. Amazing what you can do with a bench drill, bits and pieces and a bit of imagination. By the way, who and where did the music come from? Loved it. All the best.
hey skogkniv, what sort of tobacco do you usually smoke? (e.g. English, Virginian, Latakia, Burley, Aromatics, etc.) If you havent tried boswell pipe tobacco you should definitely try it! (ESPECIALLY Christmas cookie for the holidays) Great job man.
I was so inspired by your video, that I just had to try my own. I'm sure I have loads of room to improve, but I love how simple these are to make and how beautifully the leather polishes up. I uploaded a video on my youtube page if you want to head over and have a look
Because I am not interested in pot smoking, or promoting it. If that is what an individual wants to do that is their personal business. They can keep it to themselves.
Why do that when I have a vise that allows me to do it faster and more efficiently. I would hate to screw and unscrew the nut over and over. Not to mention the risk of glue getting in a thread and curing before you can unscrew it.
