I just finished making my first pipe and am smoking it as I type this. I dont have a lathe(wood or metal) or drill press or belt sander or any real tools. Just a hand drill and a buffing wheel and some determination. I probably should have bought a pre-drilled kit, or at least a premade stem, but I like to do things the hard way. So the drilling is a bit off center and there are a few other little learning mistakes but I feel that it turned out ok for a first attempt at a pipe. I learned a lot from this process and look forward to my next pipe. Anyway I figured a few people would like to see it, so here are a few pictures.
