Very first steps...

I bought Pimo's book.... The book will give you some ideas, this forum will tell you how to turn your ideas into a functional pipe to smoke. In short, skip the book read the forum.

New pipe from a starving artist

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they're eavesdropping on a bunch of cats who plan to invite a mouse over for tea?[/quote] I find it quite entertaining.

Pipe #4: Tiger Fish

The mirror, due to the reflective coating being on the bottom of the glass, gives a double reflection due to the glass also reflecting the image.
