Typically I rusticate with a tool that was shown to me by [[Brian Ruthenberg]]. To add a bit to the history of this tool, Brian Ruthenberg told me he got this tool from Robert Vacher of Laughing Moon Pipes. I don't know where Robert got it. After looking at Brian's winning hawkbill in the P&T contest, I contacted him and asked how he did his rustication. He provided me instructions and photos for the tool he used. This tool is available at Home Depot, though some assembly is required. :-) Here's what it looks like: | Typically I rusticate with a tool that was shown to me by [[Brian Ruthenberg]].

To make this little beast, you will need a few 1/2" pipe fittings, some concrete nails, a 1/2" compression fitting with one end being a threaded male connection, and a bench grinder. The pipe fittings you need are a 1/2" threaded T, a 1/2" threaded coupling, and a 1/2" threaded nipple (choose your own length...I prefer a shorter one than that in the photos above. I have one that is 2" and one that is 4". I use the 4" one the most.) | To make this little beast, you will need a few 1/2" pipe fittings, some concrete nails, a 1/2" compression fitting with one end being a threaded male connection, and a bench grinder.
