Charatan Supreme "Auxiliary Stem" Project

[LatakiaLover]

Another project similar to that Coronation I posted several months ago: a second stem that is interchangeable with the original. This pipe's even bigger, though --- 8" long and 131 grams.

The reason for the Dunhill is a size comparison. That's a Group 4 Lovat, usually considered a "full size" pipe.

The rest of the pics are self explanatory.

Interesting info bit: the only way to get a good result on stuff this big is to bend the stem when it's 80% shaped, then finish shaping while it is attached to the stummel.

That's one god awful kink in the original stem. Great work, as always, George.

Thank you. Great videos. I've probably got one of those things lying around somewhere.

Seriously, great set up and really something anyone with a drill press could put together. Thanks again.
