My “Fleur-de-lis” pipe…is a tribute to “Jon of arc!”…who was burned at the stake for heresy when she was 19 years old. She carried the banner with the “Fleur-de-lis” on it, which is a symbol of spiritual power, victory and enlightenment. Although she didn’t actually fight, she led others on the batt...

Interesting shapes of your pipes! About the stem with the big hole, you could warm it up and try to squeeze it, so to make it narrower. Better if you pass a cleaner inside or a drill bit of desired final diameter. Thanks "WoodTurningGR"...that did the trick! Bad picture, but it is looking...

Yeah...I think you are probably right....I'm just not used to "functional" art!

I'm learning a lot at this site....how to use my computer to download pictures, how to understand functional art, and how to make pipes. hahaha!

Thanks Growley! Yeah, I came in with a 1/16" on the mouth side, but didn't quite meet properly...but with the hand drill I was using, I was surprised I even got that close...haahaa! That's good news.....I'll run with it because it's nice looking and I usually hold my pipes in my hands anyway. I...

I’ll start with my question: Is a 1/8” hole too big for a pipe stem? While waiting for my next briar I decided to make my first stem. I figure one can’t call themselves a pipe maker if they aren’t making their own stems. Of course I didn’t want to be a pipe maker, I just wanted a couple pipes to hav...

I've been trying different things, but not successfully....haahaa! I'll have to wait till my keeper (wife) gets free to help me. Thanks for all the directions, she'll be able to work it out. (it's an "Old dogs new tricks" thing!...like what's an OP?) hahaa! We'll take it from here and my n...
