Finally have my lathe set up and running; and today decided to break her in and make my first stem. Turned this from 3/4" ABS rod. I added a Corian insert and an ABS cap. I need to work on the bending, final sanding, and buffing; but I'll get to that when the pipe is shaped. What do you think?
Thanks, Nick. It was almost scary at first, but in no time the chips were flying and I was having a blast. After a little practice; hopefully I can get good at it!
