Hi Guys,
I thought you folks in the Repair section might like to have some insight into a pipe making technique used by many professionals. I didn't see a pipe making section of the forum, so thought it would fit best here.
Many of you may be aware that many handmade pipes are shaped almost completely before they are drilled. This is probably the most specialized of pipe making techniques and can yield some of the best results due to the changed order of operations from standard pipe making (drill first, then shape). I made the video because I have designed some drill bits for use by serious hobbyists and professionals, but I'm sharing it because it describes the whole process of drilling a pipe in this way.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Best,
Jeff
