GH “How do you like that cigar?”, DW “It’s good sir”, GH “It’s your first?”, DW (coughing) “Yeah”, GH “Well, don’t like it too much. They’re more expensive than drugs” - Gene Hackman to Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide.

so... this is what i've been up to as of late. i decided to buckle down, set up a workshop, acquire/ build necessary tools and materials, and use them making pipes. still need to get a metal lathe but its on the agenda. anyhow i won't bore you with technical mumbo jumbo, and cut straight to the pictures. here are some of the latest fruits of my labors:
billiard:
cutty:
fat shanked bent somthing or another:
tomato:
asymmetrical tulip/egg :

yup... i hand cut the stems from ebonite rod stock. the stem work is definitely the most tedious part of the process but it can make or break a pipe IMO so its well worth the added effort.
