Awesome video, Jeff! I also do all my pipe (and stem) turning on an Atlas lathe. I've modified a few things to make it friendlier for the pipe maker though. It's a superior option to a new bench top lathe in my opinion. The only knock I have on them is that the flat ways and gibs tend to wear badly and cause slight tapers when turning tennons- no matter how much you level (or twist) the bed ways. I just drill and ream my vulcanite to accept nylon tenons to overcome this.

Nice

The cylindrical hand vise you use at 13:00 that goes into the bowl of the pipe, what is it called ? I'd really like one of those. I'm planning on doing some woodcarving on some and have a way to hold them in a bench vise would be really helpful.
