Pipe Parts help

[cali43]

Hey guys I'm new to the forums. I'm starting to make pipes and very new to this realm. I'm looking for help finding vendors of particular parts. More specifically I'm looking for a band/mortise part that's rounded and a stem mouthpiece which ideally matches the mortise hole either threaded or a push and pull mechanism. I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for.
I want to be able to glue the band/mortise into the end of the shank and have a stem/tenon which will fit nicely in there.thank you

Hi Cali. Welcome to the forums.
I'm going to suggest you start here: http://www.pimopipecraft.com/book.html
Once you get through the book, a couple informed google searches will have you well on your way.
Good luck!
