I just got a NOVA chuck and can't wait to try it out. The pen jaws are kind of small for briar turning, but should work for turning the stems. I'll start my bowl turning next week and see how the nova works out.

Also, pick up one of these guys: https://www.amazon.ca/Enkay-156-6K-6-Inch-Buffer-Polishing/dp/B001QXI9VW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1509590584&sr=8-4&keywords=BUFFing+kit

Throw that buffing kit on a 3/8" threaded rod with some washers and nuts and it works great. I grabbed some carnuba on eBay for cheap. I increased the tension on the motor/belt as much as I could to keep the belt from slipping (I bought my lathe 2nd hand and the guy before me complained it had no power.. he didn't even tighten the belt!).

For a chuck (drill bits, french sanding wheel, etc), just grab a MT1 chuck. I got mine from Lee Valley for ~$42 I think

The lathe is probably my favorite tool after my drill, miter saw, and thumb detecting nut-fucker (/r/skookum)

Hey! I had this same question when I started out. I've done several pipes and Fiebings Leather Dye is what I used for each one. It's fairly inexpensive and you get plenty to make a dozen pipes.

I would sand my pipes down to around 400 grit, then dye with black, then start the sanding until it was almost entirely gone. Then I'd dye the color I wanted the pipe to be. It causes the black to really accent the grain and causes it to pop.

Good luck with your pipe!

Look up lapping or grinding compounds.
A 280 grit lapping paste https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-1777012-Grinding-Lapping-Compound/dp/B00O542WDK

Here is another brand: https://www.amazon.com/Goodson-Lapping-Compound-600-Gr/dp/B0009RGTI6/ref=mp_s_a_1_34?keywords=lapping+compound&qid=1571520293&sprefix=lapping&sr=8-34


Hopefully that can help direct your search. I have used similar products for buffing and sharpening knifes.

Dragon pipe

It's a pear wood pipe. I smoked half a bowl and set it down in what I thought was a well supported way. (I don't have a proper stand for it) watched GoT and went back outside to finish it. When I dumped the ash the bowl fell off and the stem was bent.

Century Drill & Tool 73401 Spiral Flute Screw Extractor, #1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UUA4BG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TKPODb8NH5S67

I would wager this will do ya. Might want to get a #2 as well, but I think this is where you need to be.
