Ok, I'm a new guy to pipes, but I have always been a tinkerer and hands on. I'm very good with my hands, and not afraid to make mistakes.
so here's my idea, stop me if it sounds half baked.
I want to try and make a pipe from green white birch. the birch I can get no issue, the bowl I can get rough out easy, I have the tools, my only "how the heck" moment comes when it comes to making an air hole in the stem. I like curved pipes, but I have no idea how to drill a hole though the stem to make one! is there a special trick or something? not looking to do anything fancy like filters or anything, just and oldschool pipe.
I think it would be a cool little thing to have kicking around to be able to say "I made this" and have it age with me. That and I'm always looking for ways to be cheap lol
