wallaby, nice job for your first............. But be warned, it's a dark path you have started your travels upon.
I started out with a pre-drilled block myself for my first pipe. Then I started reading everything I could on pipe making and started practicing drilling on 2x4's using my drill press after getting that part figured out, I spent the next 3-4 years buying up supplies and tools to make my own pipes from start to finish. Now if I can just figure out how to use all this stuff.
Short story long, your hooked........ better tie down your wallet. LOL
Just messing with ya wallaby........ enjoy making your pipes, smoking them makes it even better. I look forward to seeing your next.
