This is my first in a very long time, and my first stem.
The stummel is guava wood and have 3 cracks, one of which runs through into the bowl. It's one for myself, as I want to see what will happen eventually with the crack.
The stem is clear acrylic with delrin. Frank told me to make a plan

, so here is my drillpress-stem-making plan. Not happy with it yet. I overdrilled with the tapered bit, the bit is still too thick, the airhole got to be sanded smooth somehow etc etc.

Clear acrylic is a bit like a two faced

, you can see what you are doing, but of course also everything that you did wrong eventually.
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated!
