ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115097176949 I made this pipe a couple weeks ago, and I really liked how it turned out, and the people on this forum seemed to agree. so i thought i would list my shop here.

this was my first time making a hybrid mouthpiece and I really love the style. the bottom line isn't perfect, but I think its my best so far https://i.ibb.co/WfdQTtq/IMG-0009.jpg https://i.ibb.co/qNNF9yr/IMG-0012.jpg https://i.ibb.co/z7CpkdW/IMG-0014.jpg https://i.ibb.co/T1znpJd/IMG-0015.jpg https:/...

first post in a couple of months! A client wanted a pipe similar to a previous pipe I made, hence some of the design decisions such as the rounded lip around the bowl. This pipe feels a little disproportionate, the bowl is too large maybe? also, there is a slight wave in the bottom line in the shank...

I chose my next pipe to be a brandy, as it seems like a fun shape that I could apply what I learned from my author. i based the design more on Danish brandys than English, as I like the more pronounced brandy shape. and I am much happier with this one than I was with my author. I feel like I got the...

I've never noticed how big Dunhill's buttons are

I found a similar pipe: https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/ ... _id=156146

it isn't quite as "swoopy" as the example from the 20's, but it's close enough that it can give a good perspective.

Thank you guys for your critiques, advice, and encouragement. I will most definitely be making another author soon to try and improve on the design and execution.

I was hesitant at first, but now I'm confident in it enough that I definitely think I'll be selling this one on my site.

I mainly used delrin because it was just what I had on hand, I wouldn't really recommend it, unless it was used as an accent price IN the stem (incased in ebonite on both sides) mainly because glues can't stick to delrin. Or at least not well.

I actually found a pipe made by sas with a similar profile to this one, if you wanted some ideas of where to go: http://bstpipes.com/wp-content/uploads/ ... ucer-1.jpg

You can also find it in the gallery of his site, bstpipes.com

Ok, so something sas and some of the other members were talking about is the lowest point on the stummel being behind the centerline of the chamber, whereas mine has that point in front of that line. After seeing it explained, I can see that my pipe looks almost like it has an underbite (Big chin). ...

this was my attempt at holding lines. I know I have to work on being more careful to follow my drawings and work on my carving skills to make things more concentric. this is not perfectly circular, so it almost looks kinda like a tomato. also, I had to redo my Delrin tenon, because I fucked it up wh...

If you wanted to improve on this and make a similar shape, I think you could carry the bottoms line all the way up to the ridge, and point the shank more upward to get rid of that straight line in the stem. But keep the flat bottom, I think it looks pretty dope! For finishing, I usually sand all the...

Thank you, sas, for pointing out that lump. I wouldn't have even noticed it! The stem was actually a constant taper, but then I bent it in order to keep the bottoms a straight line, and it created that lump. In the future I'll have to continue shaping after I bent it in order to get it as elegant as...

first things first: things I improved over last time: I sanded and polished the inside of the slot, and I made the button a more comfortable shape And thanks to DocAitch, and BrownLeaf for that sanding tip, because this pipe has the best slot of any pipe I own, artisan or factory. this piece is base...

Just a quick video of my most recent build, which can be seen in the gallery or here: https://eaglesjoel13.wixsite.com/website-1/blank-page

I'm gonna post this in general as well, but here is the build video :

thank all of you for your advice! I was able to polish up the inside of the slot before giving it to the client but wasn't able to get a picture of it finished. but I did finish another pipe today that I'm pretty proud of the slot: https://i.ibb.co/sj63gHp/IMG-9576.png https://i.ibb.co/QjPgYGH/IMG-9...

I was hired to make this (my first pipe for profit). It's definitely my best pipe so far, and I'm proud enough of it to put it out into the world. also, this was my first Delrin tenon, and I love the feeling of how it slides in the mortice, highly recommend it! That being said, I do see some problem...
