Pipes #1, #2, and #4
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2012 12:32 am
Finally finished my first and second pipes and also started and finished the fourth (first is the billiard, second is the cutty/horn thing [drilling is off and shaping isn't right = shop pipe], fourth is the poker). I had a busy day needless to say.
Here are some pictures (still trying to figure out how to make my P&S take decent macro pictures - trying to perfect my light box technique).
Give me your critique on all please. Each of these have flaws that I know of. The time it would take to redo it isn't worth it considering they are my first pipes. I have learned a WHOLE lot from each of these. I expect pipe number five to be much, much better. My biggest problem is stem/shank fitment. The stem/delrin/mortise are all square with eachother, but I always managed to make them at an angle - have it partially figured out, so that should be alleviated on #5.
Number One:
Number Two (already has a thread, but I made so many modifications, I figured I would just put it here):
Number Four:
