Charatan Supreme "Auxiliary Stem" Project

Another project similar to that Coronation I posted several months ago: a second stem that is interchangeable with the original. This pipe's even bigger, though --- 8" long and 131 grams.

The reason for the Dunhill is a size comparison. That's a Group 4 Lovat, usually considered a "full size" pipe.

The rest of the pics are self explanatory.

Interesting info bit: the only way to get a good result on stuff this big is to bend the stem when it's 80% shaped, then finish shaping while it is attached to the stummel.

Thank you. Great videos. I've probably got one of those things lying around somewhere. :wink:

Seriously, great set up and really something anyone with a drill press could put together. Thanks again.
