Here’s my 4th pipe I’ve made. If this isn’t the right area, please let me know.
I used a Dremel, Files and Sandpaper as with the previous ones. This was my first try at rusticating (Dremel) I went chunky.
This time though I was testing out a sanding disc I bought but haven’t used. I nearly destroyed the shank and stem in ten seconds. That was the end of that for now. At that point I almost threw the pipe away but tossed it in my pipe cabinet instead. Later I had an idea about a knife sharpening system I have with a 1” x 18” belt attachment. So, I used that to fix it and reduced the stem and shank width. So ... saved it.
Anyway... loving making these. I actually like #2 and #3 better. Can post those if anyone curious.
I plan to get a lathe and equipment but after a big move to a larger property where I’ll have the space. Can’t wait For that. No room here for big equipment.
Almost done already with next pipe.

I am. This one looks great, I'd like to see the others.
