I would assume you know this since you have made prior pipes. Just incase forest is clogging view of trees. Most pipe makers prebore the hole in the briar block using their lathe then shape the block to the hole.

The demand for personalization today is more prominent than ever. You can get anything customized or personalized these days. From shoes to cars, nothing is out of reach to have your personal touch added to if you can find the right venue and price tag to get it done. I’ve been stamping my initials on golf clubs since I was a kid. It might not have always looked good or professional, but it was something that felt personal. Something as simple as a few initials turns a product that may have been produced by the thousands, into a one-of-a-kind piece. Being able to say, “this is the only one in the world like this,” is a powerful statement.

I've made a couple pipes before, though the draft hole was only about 3" long. Even that took a large amount of measuring and tweaking to get the bit to exactly where I needed it and to drill straight.

Golf has played a massive role in my career as a putter maker. It’s crucial to know the game of golf when designing putters because so much of putter design is feel. Being able to understand what feels good is HUGE. Golf has given me the ability to use my hands as a tool whenever I make something new. I was introduced to the game of golf at a very young age. The etiquettes and mindset that you need to play the game of golf have found their way into my daily life

I honestly had about 10-15 more questions for this Q&A but I wanted to leave a few out so when we get him on the Podcast there’s something to talk about. Yes, the podcast is coming and it’s coming soon. With that being said, we feel there still needs to be a little mystery to the brand. Hopefully, you get some answers you might have been looking for and you’ll be even more intrigued to check out his work.

May 28, 2015 — Hi All- What's a decent domestically produced boring head for a Bridgeport mill? If not domestic, what are some decent imports?

As 2019 progresses, I honestly have no idea where this journey will take me. I am excited to say that I will take on the rest of this year with everything I’ve got and make sure to keep cranking out putters

I have a lot of them. I’ve tried to pull a lot of my putter head designs, shapes, curves, and sweeps from putters that had always seemed to find their way sneaking back into my bag when nothing else seemed to do the trick. Working from pieces of dozens of different canvases and smashing them all together with my style and flare to create something that resembles a putter. Something as soon as you set it behind the ball, the first thought that comes into your head is, “that looks about right.” The perfect putter shape is a bit like Sasquatch. Some have claimed to have seen it, but none with real proof. Luckily, for all of us, it all comes down to personal preference, and that’s something I strive to connect with on a personal level with each client.

Unfortunately, I don’t feel like you can have one without the other. Designing the putters with the intent of machining them helps dictate how they are drawn. Machining the putters helps dictate how they are designed. The chicken or the egg. Couldn’t tell you.

My golf bag has recently found a very cozy spot, way back in the corner of the back hallway in the shop. It hasn’t gotten to see the grass of a golf course in a while. As busy as I am with the putters I don’t get to play as much as I’d like to. Right now, I’ve got an older set of Titleist MB’s from 2014 PW-4 iron, Titleist TMB 3 iron, 713 D3 Driver, 713 3 Wood and Hybrid, SM6 Vokey Wedges 52°, 56° and not a putter in sight. Every time I stick one in my bag, it either gets snagged by my younger brother or sold to someone who walks into the shop.

I just saw a video where a guy took assorted pieces of wire, (not sure what grade.) Hammered them flat, used a cordless drill and after starting a small hole with a regular drill bit, started using the wire as a drill bit. Gotta go slow, careful, let the wire do the work. Start short, gradually work up in size until you go through. He did this on a skinny piece of wood and it seems the wire will follow that soft center. I've never tried this but will find a good piece of wood and get that drying... Be interesting to see if this works. Found this hoping to see if others used this technique, so far all I found was that one video. So take it with a grain of salt. Still wire is cheap, might be worth experimenting.

Putters are indeed the black sheep of everyone’s golf bag. Few and far between tend to be a match to everything else in the bag. For most golfers (including me) it’s never apparent why some putters tend to work better than others for no apparent reason. One week the hole looks as big as a trash can, and the next you would swear it’s smaller than the ball. Above all, a putter needs to work. Style and flare are a welcome addition to a great putter, but function always needs to come first and foremost. I’m sure everyone can stand in some agreement with me that we all have that rusty, dinged up, raggedy gripped, a hunk of junk that is standing on deck in the closet ready for action when your current putter loses its magic.

I think you already identified your problem. When you start doing things where small misalignments can lead to large issues, setup is key.

With so many things being mass produced these days, having something unique and different is special. CNC machining or (computer numeric controlled) machining is significant in the putter industry right now. It gives designers and putter makers the ability to create one of a kind, unique pieces of work that are completely specific to the individual. You can come up with a new design and make 1. Not 10, not 100, not 10,00 just 1, having the ability to prototype like that is what has created this massive demand for CNC milled putters, in my opinion.

In the course of my researches, I learnt how boat builders stay true while drilling a hole for a propeller drive shaft several metres through the keelboard.

Thanks, Logan for taking the time to answer these questions. As I mentioned earlier, we had many others but I didn’t want to overwhelm him with questions. He’s a busy guy you know.

It’s tough running a boutique style golf company; you’re entirely at the mercy of the people. I get one shot with each person, period. I must do everything I can to make that shot count. Starting from the first interaction to the completion of the putter, everything counts. Being able to be that connected to each client presents a very challenging task. I regularly work between 12-14-hour days and then go home to answer and respond to anywhere from 20-70 emails and messages every night. That makes for long days, It’s a commitment that I didn’t understand in the beginning, but now realize how truly disciplined you must be to make it happen in this industry. I try to do my absolute best to make a personal connection with everyone that places an order for a custom putter.

I use an array of materials such as carbon steels, stainless, copper, brass, titanium, aluminum, Damascus, and other exotic materials frequently. I never try to shy away from anything, and I will do my best to take on any requests (within reason). Am I still waiting on someone to send me a brick of gold to make a putter out of, any takers?

One of my first interactions with Logan was on the phone. The fact he was eager to get on the phone and discuss what we could do together was pretty cool. A lot of people, especially in my age bracket, are quick to shun the younger generations. I’m guilty, and I know a lot of you are as well. To see a young man dedicate the majority of his time to learn and grow as a designer and a fabricator is refreshing. To say I was shocked to learn Logan is only 21 years old is an understatement.

Being able to execute these elaborate ideas and designs is a whole other beast. I spend hours and hours each day programming, drafting, and designing as these ideas get crazier and more involved. I do everything I can to not discourage my client’s ideas and suggestions. If we can figure out a way to put a man on the moon, then I can come up with a way to make a putter look like a Bat Mobile. It might kill me in the process, but I can make it happen. I am always looking for a new project to take on that will challenge my abilities and sanity as a designer/machinist.

I won't lie, what you're trying to do is very difficult. Your pipe stem is likely thin to begin with, so you have very little margin for error in the setup of your drill bit. The only advice I can give is to check, re-check, and re-re-check your alignment before drilling and hope that the bit doesn't wander through the cut.

They don't move the drill, they move the job using a jig similar to a saw table fence. But instead of a circular saw blade there is a spinning auger perfectly parallel to both fence and table.

However, if you want to ask a question to Logan feel free to leave one below in the comments section. I’ll be sure to pass it along to him, and we’ll do our best to get it answered and posted.

Every putter is like a puzzle for me. With the growth of new ideas and designs daily, I am always tasked with coming up with some new solution to a problem I didn’t have yesterday. How do I hold that, how can I machine that feature, are these two metals compatible for a weld, where do I even start…? These are problems that find their way into my every day and are the roots that I grow from. The most satisfying part of creating putters is the skillset I gain with each new project I take on. A friend of mine calls this the “Everlasting tuition of life.” It gives me great satisfaction to know that every putter leaving the door has challenged me and has allowed me to learn something new and stretch my imagination.

I don't think a hole this long is possible with any conventional drill bit, and finding a suitable one of this length which would be difficult to say the least. And anyway there is a significant problem with drift or wander, particularly when drilling into end grain as you might be here. Note: this is even if the drilling is done on a drill press, the amount of wander can be quite amazing.

And, if you haven’t read the review we posted head on over to it HERE. There you can read more about the work Logan is creating.

Even in the past when very long drill bits were more commonly seen as part of the woodworking tool kit (either augers to be turned directly with a wooden handle, or for use with a brace) once you got to very long lengths in relation to the diameter of the hole it was common to use specialist bits made for that purpose only, for example shell bits.

The Contour bar is ProTaper's best-selling handlebar. Oversize diameter handlebars, without cross bars, were invented, and patented, by ProTaper.

I tried using a really long thin drill bit that probably had a different purpose (like maybe drywall stuff) to put a hole in a tobacco pipe project. But the bit blew out the side of the wood because it didn't drill straight.

I suspect the only way you'll achieve this length of hole is if you can find a suitable shell auger bit or are willing to go to the trouble of making your own. You'd start the hole with a normal bit or matching diameter, then slip the shell bit into the hole and continue from there.

Initially, this Q&A section was part of the REVIEW we posted yesterday. But, that would have made it a seriously LONG read. I like writing about new companies but sometimes you have to know when to say when. So we decided to break this up into two posts. One for the review and then this post where Logan answered some questions we sent him.

Being new to the industry, as a manufacturer and not just a player, I sat down and put some questions to paper and sent them off to Logan. I wanted to ask some questions I think the majority of you would want to know the answers to and Logan was kind enough to take some time out of his hectic schedule and answer them for us.

You need a "gun" drill, it cuts on one side . It would costly for making a pipe. Cost not a problem when you are drilling several expensive gun barrels.
