I actually miss-drilled the first attempt, which should've gone into my personal torture chamber, but, went instead to the customer's friend. For half price of course. Both are such huge pipes, not my style at all since I'm a clencher.
BTW, how many of y'all smoke while you create pipes? I do as much as possible. Keeps me "centered"...
Depends on where I'm working. I haven't gotten around to hooking up the exhause fan in my workshop, so smoking is out for the moment. I really prefer to work outside though. I file or a bit of sandpaper, pipe (to smoke) and briar and I am good to go!
I used the rustication tool Tyler recommends. I can make the rustication just about any level I want, now that I've used it for about a year. Great tool!
As far as smoking while working, it makes the whole experience more pleasant...
