What`s the best way to carve the flue? Right now I`m using a dremel with an attachment that works like a router but I`m doing it free handed with no fence of...
Kenny, Score the edges of the flue with a sharp knife, to the depth you want before routing. This helps hold the dremel online. OR I used to use the same...

Kenny, And if you haven't yet discovered self-stick sandpaper, it has a lot of uses in crafting the flue and TSH. I have a set of sanding blocks that I use for...
Hi Kenny, I use a Dremal myself but I'm using a drum sanding attachment. I took one of the sanding drums and touch it to my disc sander to cut the drum down to...
I'm very easy to spot. I'm 6 '6", shoulder length hair and will most likely have my INAFA shirt on. Perhaps we'll run into each other. We're in the center...

From my experience, the overblow happens when you're getting too much air into the bore because the splitting edge of the TSH is too high. Try filing down the...
