wow, that is very interesting, you have talent sir, I admire your work, where did you get the tools and how long you have been practicing in making pipes.

I somehow missed this thread when it first appeared. Three things, Adam:
1. I see something like this and I cannot imagine why every handmade pipe doesn't cost $2,000. The amount of skill, effort and risk involved is stupefying.
2. Thank you for the huge effort involved in producing this thread with these pictures and descriptions. A real service to this group and a great guide for anyone inclined to try his hand at this craft.
3. I love your shop. I like the various dust management systems, including the PVC pipe catchment you made.
OKAY, 4 things: PM sent. I think I know where my wife is going to have to buy my Christmas pipe.

how long you have been practicing in making pipe

I made my first pipe in May of 2015. I've accumulated the tools in steps since then. Lots of trial and error, and a lot of research.
