Small Dublin...
Small Dublin...
This pipe weighed in at a whole 17g and 5" long. Not sure I could safely make a lighter pipe.
I had planned on it being a good deal larger, but there was a weird place in the plateau that went in really deep. Not really a flaw, I guess, but made me remove a lot of material.

Re: Small Dublin...
That's a nice little smoke break pipe.
It's not the size that matters, but how you use it.
Good job.

Re: Small Dublin...
I think it looks nice, but those walls must be mighty thin near the bottom of the bowl, right?
Good job!

Re: Small Dublin...
I used a tapered chamber bit so the walls actually have about the same amount of thickness at the bottom as they do they top. It's a 3/4" chamber at the top and tapers down accordingly...though I wouldn't go any thinner,Albert.A wrote:I think it looks nice, but those walls must be mighty thin near the bottom of the bowl, right?

Nicely done, though I'd like to see some more pictures from other angles.

Sure you could of. Saddle stem instead of taper may have reduced it by a gram. 16g's!"This pipe weighed in at a whole 17g and 5" long. Not sure I could safely make a lighter pipe.

Re: Small Dublin...
I have hit 14 grams once with one of my "Scottie" pipes. The entire time I was working on it I was sure it was going to break it was so small. Normally they are between 16-18 grams. Bravo for making a regular pipe that light and being able to keep it looking good!
Am I Calamity Jane or Annie Oakley??...depends on the day.

I got down to 66 grams once and thought "Fuck it, I gotta stop before this thing disappears."
