I've made the pipe and it's impressive by my standards. Now to the stem. I got a pre-made one from Pimo and perhaps made a mistake of sanding the tenon so it fits better into the mortise. This sanding has resulted in the there being a gap btw the stem and the mortise. You can see the gap. What can I do? Thanks
In fine sanding the stem (where it goes into the mortise) I think I took the stem shoulder out of alighnment with the stem itself. I tweek it tonight. Thanks
