[QUOTE="stan41, post: 189201, member: 588"] I have never made a pipe, but have made lots of other woodworking projects until I retired. I believe a small, very sharp hand plane would be useful for pipe making. The secret to making a plane work for you is sharpness. If the cutter is sharp enough to shave the hair on your arm it is almost sharp enough. A plane also limits the amount of wood you can remove in one pass. Stan [/QUOTE]
