Haven't posted in a long time.

Beautiful pipe Nate!

Andrew,

Very nice first pipe. A hell of a lot better than my first one. It looked like you could go to battle with it (way too big and bulky)

Thank you for the compliments and feedback. Now back to the garage for the next attempt.

Thanks. I have been using the premade stems from PIMO and just got my shipment from American Art plastics to start making my own. Was originally going to use it on this one but got scared at the last minute...

Gentlemen, I went for a billiard this time around. Please let me know what you think. Aside from the small ding on the top right side and the slightly too long stem I am pretty happy with it. Please let me know what you think. Regards, Larry http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5185/5700455436_8a4669c624_...

Pipe making is a lot of fun. It's great to see something come out of a block of wood and piece of hardened rubber. My suggestion is to not be afraid of sanding more.

Sas,

Thanks. That will help me make adjustments on the next one.

Thanks guys. I never really know how to judge stems particularly length or bends.

Massis,

Thanks for the comments. I struggled with the bend in the stem and settled for what you see here.

Gentlemen, This is my sixth or seventh pipe and first post. The first few didn't make it past rough shaping or I gave them to friends and family. All advice is greatly appreciated Thanks, Larry http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5228/5628904196_40f2f5bd5d_m.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5146/562890...

Wow. That is a nice pipe.

Thanks Kurt!

New to this forum. I have been shaping on a sanding arbor hooked up to a drill in a vice.

I wanted to know if this is a good deal for a lathe:
