I've tossed some briar chips a few times. I'll show um when I have a few more done. It's such a hands on thing especially if you don't have a lathe or bandsaw handy. I started with a dremel and now I'm addicted and cant stop!!!.I been thinking about that actually. I like to work with my hands.
I’m almost $6,000 invested in various tooling, finishing and material for what’s been basically pipes for myself ?I've tossed some briar chips a few times. I'll show um when I have a few more done.

I'm yet to spend over a couple grand but that's about to change when I get the metal lathe. The wood lathe wasn't bad ($400) but I want some silver and exotic woods and what not. So the metal lathe is next on my list. I figure If i don't want to spend that money on 1 Ivarrson or S. Bang etc, I can try and make 1 myself. Yes, it won't have the big name but it'll have my name, and that's pretty damn cool to me.I’m almost $6,000 invested in various tooling, finishing and material for what’s been basically pipes for myself ?.
There are some inexpensive 7” lathes that suffice for small stuff like pipes.I'm yet to spend over a couple grand but that's about to change when I get the metal lathe.
