Our resident dragon requested something swirly for the cob that he has on the way. Fire Swirl seemed the logical choice.

Thats nice! I like the length too.
Thanks!
very dragonish
Nice, I've been thinking about getting a new stem for cobs. I've just been buying new pipes once the steam gets too chewed up, so I have about 7 pipes with one usable stem.
Makes me think someone should make perishable pipe stems from candy..... Probably not worth the effort, but I bet you could pair some tobacs with a nice sweet stem for the tempting tooth:)
Uncle A You did it well, I like a lot.
Nice choice Arthur.

That's what she said.

Uncle A, that is HOT-HOT-HOT, can't wait to get it and install on
my new MM-Country Gent/bent
BTW: Anyone (everyone) that has a cob should really upgrade to an Uncle A stem,
we are lucky to have him as a member of our clan
Wow! Very nice
This one is scream'in Egg-shape cob stem

to join the fire swirl...fire/water....me likes
Most excellent! stem.
That rod almost went on my latest order. I like the blue swirls.
Me too Unc, would look hella cool next to my fire swirl stem
maybe next order..Got two nice
MM-Cobs on the way 1-Country Gent/Bent and 1-Great Dane Egg/bent
BTW: Unc, every think of doing custom shanks for those MM Cobs?
I gave the shank idea a passing thought. Something I may play with in the future.
I also like the green swirl lucite as well, a nice dress-up for an MM Country gent/bent or Egg/bent cob
Bought this meerschaum the other day, kinda firey swirl steam
Nice Meer!
very pretty!
back to the stems one of my fav cobs has a walnut stem so my question is would you need the cob to make a stem or are they standered and it would just be a matter of glueing one in i have some dogwood and persimmon that might make a good stem
Stem or shank Pawpaw?
shank sorry
Seems that most are pretty much the same. But to be safe it wouldn't hurt to have the pipe on hand.
Wow you are a true craftsman. Any way you could show a pic of your set up to drill the stem hole. I'm starting the process of learning how to make pipes. Any tips would probably help not just me but lots of the guys. Your work inspires me to create too!
OK. It's done. I'm doing the cobwarden thing starting tonight. PAD purchase in 5...4...3...
I use my lathe, a Jacobs chuck and a tapered 5/32 long drill bit. The bits can be ordered from McMaster Carr. The pipemakers forum has an excellent sticky on making lucite stems without a lathe.
Ok thanks ill check it out
Got those cobs in the mail today, man I tell ya when you get spoiled with Uncle A stems, those crappy plastic stems they come with....for lack of a better word.....SUCK!
where do you get your materials UncleA?
Uncle A is the Lizard King, he just waves his hand over the lathe and
materials show up ready for his magic craft'in arts
[/quote]where do you get your materials UncleA[quote] rumor has it...deep within the Black Forest of Bavaria
where do you get your materials UncleA?
I believe I have seen him mention Penn State Industries
