I just did My 1st hand made pipe. 100% by hand no power tools at all. It's made from apple wood,took 20 hrs. to do and 10 bandaids. Hope it smokes better than it looks.

I still can't get pics to come up.

Whoo whee! Thats a beauty buddy! I really dig that shape. I dont really know what it would be classified as, but it looks like bacci would really burn well in that thing. Great job! You'll have to let us know how it smokes!

Looks as though you followed the wood's cues as to what it wanted to become.

Whenever I get around to making my first one I can only hope it turns out so well!

Great looking pipe that. Wish I could do woodworking so I could have a go myself.

Thanks all, I did it all by hand, no power tools used at all just a small hand saw, rat tail file, sandpaper, 3 diff. drill bits, and a vise grip to hold the bits. Forgot some band aids too.

I used to build my fishing rods and can say there nothing better than using something you made with your own hands. Hope she smokes long and cool.

I gotta try this... I tried once, but failed miserably. Next time maybe I'll have better skill.

As a pipe restorer, aspiring author and playwright, this advice is profound and deep. Thank you sir.
