Nice looking schtuff there Jim. Did I forget to mention that there is a toll for posting Ups and related stuff in this thread? :twisted:

... I like mine in paduka and African Blackwood with nicklesilver, stainless steel and alternate ivory trim.

:D :D :D

Chris, I'll take a cocobolo and maple chanter, thanks! :D :P

Nice black leather pumps...I know they make their legs look nice, but how on earth to women walk in those things?
It's true that you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar - but a big, steaming pile works best of all.

Still working on the Baritone and tenor, and need to make a stabilizer band for the bass drone, although it is mighty sturdy without one...... :D

One is paduka and African Blackwood with nicklesilver, stainless steel and alternate ivory trim. The other is Brazillian Cherry and paduka with brass and alternate horn trim.

I see the waist belt. I like how it's attached with the pretty brass decorative plate. I just wonder why there seems to be only an inch of it available to put through the buckle and no hole for a tang even if you try to do so.

Great looking bellows, assuming they work, but the belt thing seems like a major failure to connect the dots..................................................................................................................................................silence

Nice bass drone, Doogie; could you describe your tube bending techique that gave such nice results? --kb

Thank you for the comments on the bellows. The piece of leather you see is temporary. (The actual belts had not been attached and can be seen in some of the other pictures).The belt is situated between two pads. There is no padding under the belt. While I am attaching the pads to the clapper I use the small strip of leather and the metal piece to hold everything in place. When the pads are finally attached, I remove the piece of leather and attach the belt.

They do work.

Thanks again for the feedback.
Jim

Hey, Doogie, did YOU make that bass drone or are you trying to steal someone elses work? The image is hosted at the link below and clearly belongs to the Texas pipemaker Seth Hamon, who is "texas bagpiper" on this forum. src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/te ... IM0624.jpg"? Are you working with Seth as an apprentice or something???

The drone looks nicely mounted but the style is not particularly traditional. Do you have a more modern overall design aesthetic you're going for?

I want to have my own look without straying too far from the traditional/or modern look of UP's...

P.S. Doogie is what my Mother nicknamed me when I was born...

When I make bends, I pour low melting alloy into the tube, bend it and then take the torch to the bend to melt the alloy back out... You can buy the low melting alloy's at Smallparts Inc.. in Florida.. This stuff melts with a candle....

I think Michael Dow has some pics related to this on his website..

Scroll down all the way to the bottom..

Also, Their are some pictures of this being done by Geoff Wooff on the Sean Reid CD/ROM Vol. 2 . Pictures taken by Peter Laban...
