Yes, that was a AWESOME.

It seems that I got sick with the disease "pipe making" and this disease is not treated :)

Thank you for feedback!

Yes, maybe the shank is thick and make a sense to whittle it. But I tried to make the round shape of the shank and do not whittle away too much.
At this moment, all instruments what I have for pipemaking: drill and sandpaper :oops:

This a small photoshoot birth of this pipe :) (I'm a little disappointed that not photographed a drilling of bowl :( )

This is a good first attempt.

On your next one, focus on getting clean lines that aren't wobbly.

Thank you for your advice. Will take this into account.

At this moment I'm trying to collect more and more info about shaping pipe on sander (for now have only this tool for shaping :) ). Almost everything what I have are from Youtube videos. So I would be very grateful for any help or advice with this.

Sand by hand and you lines will be a lot cleaner. Sanding with strips can lead to grooves being created unless you're really careful

Thanks for this advice. Because for this pipe I tried to get a finish shape on sander and used sandpaper (320 > 400 > 600 grid) only as part of "polishing" step and for mouthpiece.
