Very nice,

Keep this up and I may have to try "do it yourself".

Do you sell pipes too or just a hobby for yourself?

Nice looking pipe! I've been wanting to try one too, but doubt that I have steady enough hands to do the sanding.

Nice pipe Vkimp!
I am noticing a signature theme with your stem shapes.

Nice! Lots of recent talk from many of the guys wanting to try this and carve their own. Wish I felt I had the patience and skill set to even take a stab at it. Very impressed by your work and ability to turn out such cool pipes. Keep it up!

Sweet Vkimp.

What king of equipment did you need to get started?

 

[vkimp]

I have a cheap small drill press to get the holes in line (but you can get blocks predrilled). A buffing wheel on a drill ( I have the drill fixed to a bock of wood with a hoseclamp, then put the block in a vice ) Sand paper from 50 to 600 grit. a wood rasp. and a dremal with a rough damond stone. Some Stain an wax. That about it!! The dremal will give you a lot of dust ,so a shopvac is nice. It keeps the wife off your back. LOL . I do it in my part of the house the basement LOL

Sorry it was 50 here today I spent the day outside. Just cot back to my computer
