...then re bending it. That is my plan. I have this neat little no name Italian pipe. I bought it for 15 bucks when I first started smoking. I love it. I want to open up the draw on it. Opened up a few straight pipes quite successfully. I never tried a bent stem. This stem is vucanite or ebonite. I'm thinking to heat up the stem to allow it to straighten out, drill it through with a t handle type hand drill with an extra long tapered bit and then re bend it. I'm stuck on the re bend. If I drill it and heat it up again, when I put the bend back, might the hole (and all my hard work) collapse? If it kinks up I'm going to be miffed. Should I fill it with some sand and then heat it up to bend it? Any guidance will be appreciated. Here's a pic
