    New Pipe From Forum Maker shikano53

    I think I fixed it. It works fine on Firefox and Edge. Microsoft Explorer won't let me preview the page unless I make Bing my default search and I can't close that window other than by opening Task Manager and shutting it down. Another reason I passionately hate Microsoft.

    Simple Billiard

    saltedplug, I couldn't agree more. When I use the word simple, I don't mean simple to make. I mean it is a good, well made conforming to proper Billiard dimensions and a good smoking pipe with no ostentatious baubles and whirly-gigs. Please don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say here...

    Re-Made My Churchwarden

    Oz, you are welcome. Since I'll be the one smoking it; I went with the blue. I get weary of all the browns and I like to change things up once in awhile if for no other reason that I like it.

    Re-Made My Churchwarden

    Thanks all for the comments. ozpiper, I bend all my stems with a heat gun and slowly working my way along until I achieve the bend I want.
