First Pipe!

Post by connorv18 »

Got a kit and went to work. All I had to shape it was a belt sander.
Please give me any comments on anything you notice. I could also use some advice on how to drill my own pipes and what drill bits to use. I have a press, and I didn't like how narro the bowls from the kite pipes are.

Also any advice on how to finish my pipe. Thanks!

Welcome !

I've been able to see the images, too.
Looks like a typical 1st pipe. Nice rustication, though. You're supposed to sand that burr away, on the stem.
