And goings on....
Gonna hafta stop making Gandalf's I guess, since we're running out of names.
Time to start the mythical creature line.
Coming soon, C'thulu
It would appear that omniscients was not included in the powers granted to The Great Namer of Things...
I would say that there are either two Alatars, or Pallando is wearing a cloak of disguise.
I will defer to the wisdom and judgement of The Great Loader of Pipes, Katie.
don't kick yourself too hard. that pipe is Resin Burl not Amboyna. Still a gorgeous piece though.
The second pipe is Padauk (which is a close cousin to Amboyna).
I might do a short run of wardens for the brass... I personally have to turn each tenon by hand on those though. And without the universal the tenons may easily snap if dropped or knocked around. I turned this one specifically for this pipe because a Gandalf needs a warden and the brass looks so...
Ok I think I remember how to check this...
Set your meter to ohms and place one lead on the center post and one on the outer threaded bit. If there is any resistance reading, typically .2-.3 then there is a short. Do this on both sides of the extender. one side can be shorted while the other...
Wait this may be wrong.. It's late and I may be totally off on this. I don't have any stuff here to figure it out either.
I'll have to do some tests tomorrow and see how to go about this.
Ohm meter, positive posts on either side of the extender. If the ohm meter reads nothing you're good. If it reads .2-.3 the extender is shorted. Also check it for a voltage load through the device. Sometimes the tiny wire inside can pop loose, especially if your trying to push a lot of current...
The blue wizard is blue dyed maple. It's the first pipe I turned in the new shop, I used maple just in case I didn't quite have my bearings. But the pipe turned out quite nice if I do say so myself
