Hi Everyone,

I recently noticed that there is a allot of people who have successful built wooden piston and there are those who are interested in building them.

I was wondering if anyone would mind posting their experience building wooden pistons.
From the really technical type using a lathe.
To the really simple kind of just matching up the right drill bit to the right PVC Pipe.
(Anyone who uses a drill bit to make a piston please post the size bit you used and the PVC you matched it up with.)

Thank you in advance.

PS
I am particularly interested in a wooden piston that fits into a 2” PVC T

i can tell you one thing, don't wast your time trying to make a wooden piston out of a square piece of wood using a drill press as a lath, it don't work, i spent 6 hours sanding on a piece of wood using the drill press to spin it and it still had flat spots

Here man, click here. If you have any questions after checking out mine, just give a yell.
