A Minnie Volcano

Algerian plateaux stummel, German Cumberland stem with an inlayed Ipe bead.
This pipe is my personal new pipe, unfortunately... It was going well until buffing time. I didn't realize my hands had become numb, the carnauba wheel grabbed the bowl rim, the pipe came out of my hands, bounced on the lathe bed-scratching and chipping the bottom of the bowl. The stem encountered the gear teeth on the Jacob's chuck-chipping the underside of the button. As I was making a new stem, I was fitting the tenon to the mortise, and I cracked the shank/mortise.
I was very pleased with how the draft hole entered the tobacco chamber. It is the best alignment I have had so far. so I was hoping to be able to sell it... As my teacher has said on many occasions, "It is my duty to inform you, that it is hopeless." If I could just remember that all the time.
Thank you for all comments and critiques.

I didn't realize my hands had become numb, the carnauba wheel grabbed the bowl rim, the pipe came out of my hands, bounced on the lathe bed-scratching and chipping the bottom of the bowl. The stem encountered the gear teeth on the Jacob's chuck-chipping the underside of the button. As I was making a new stem, I was fitting the tenon to the mortise, and I cracked the shank/mortise.
