Pipe nr4

Edit: Not enough posts to show pictures in this section.
















The stem was with pre made tennon and the holes were made. I just shaped it.

The brass band is a repair, the shank cracked in the wise as i seem to never learn..
Edited by jvnshr: Fixed the picture links.

Looks like a professionally made pipe.

I’d smoke it!

 

[kpipe]

Thank you all.

And thanks for the help with the pictures!
Its made for a 9mm filter, got it as thin as i could.

I see it now after polishing that i need to work alittle more om the finish,.
Looking forward to packing some sg navy flake in it! Havent tryed it yet.

Been smoking it for about a week now and the draw and all works great, feels good to smoke.
But it gets realy hot real fast..

Guess i made the chamber to big, as the briar pice i used was about as wide as the pipe is now.
Any opinions on how thick the walls should be ? Is there any ''rules'' on a minimum?

Well done. Nice looking pipe.

 

[kpipe]

Thank you!

I like the thickest walls. Even 3/16" seems a little too thin for me. Pipes that get too hot to hold annoy me. I am, however, impressed with the pipe you made. Thanks for all the pix.
I would think that a flake or cube cut would smoke cooler than ribbons and shag. Was it the SG/ Navy flake that heated up the bowl so much?

That's a pretty damn impressive billiard to be carved completely by hand. Well done, my friend.

 

[kpipe]

Thank you.
Sg navy, my everyday and one bowl of bulls eye coins. Goes hot on bouth. I smoke my flakesrubbed out.

That's some impressive whittling! How long did the rough shaping of the bowl take?

 

[papipeguy]

Hopefully, once you build up some cake in the bowl the heat issue will abate somewhat. I think you did a great job and should be proud of that.

 

[kpipe]

Thank you guys.
The shaping took place last easter, if i recall it right it took about 3 hours over a cuple of nights.

I have shaped a few hobby blocks with a knife. I still do one on vacation once in awhile, but much prefer the lathe and sanding disk now. Nice work.

Doesn't look have bad. If it is a billiard you might have missed the few degrees of cant the bowl needs. Can't really tell from the pictures.

 

[crashthegrey]

With a predrilled kit those are the types of things that can't be fixed. At least not easily.

 

[kpipe]

I tried to get the bowl a bit forward tilting.

Only the stem was pre drilled.
