I'm new at pipe making so don't put too much weight in this, but something in the bowl of the second pipe seems a bit off to me. I love the stem and shank on it though.
very cool! where are you from? looks very Russian/eastern European.
only critique would be that your stems could be thinner and possibly more defined but other than that, great finishing. your shapes are unique and whimsical.
Itself I left it with tears in the eyes. Weight at it - 32 grams, the tobacco camera - 18 x 37 mm. Now it at my friend, he yet didn't smoke from it, passed month, and he says that she not for smoking, only admires.
Thanks for your responses! ! ! It is very grateful! ! !
In the summer 2013 I tried to make stems for churchwarden. It turned out. The stalk drilled a drill in hands. The ebonite core of initial 16 mm, length is 220 mm... it was unexpectedly lucky! ! !
The pipes look very nice. One thing you can improve is to sand the tobacco chamber a little more to create a cleaner look. Also if you put a very tiny radius on the chamber rim it will prevent damage from a burnout, and I think it looks good too.
Your opinion, thanks is very useful for me!
From burning out of top of a cup I did some pipes with a ring of metal (if the translator correctly translated to me, and I truly understood ). Approximately so:
Nice pipes! I really like the small sculpted apple (second pipe from the top)!
The metal ring on the inside of the rim looks nice, but I think it creates more danger than benefit. There is considerable heat in that spot and metal will expand and accumulate temperature differently than the briar around it - no matter how you set it in place it may either fall out or even crack the walls of the pipe.
Thanks, very pleasantly!
And I was the same opinion, but I have two pipes with such rings which I experimented within three years, and they proved to be from very good party, isn't present cracks. And temperature low, it is possible to touch with a finger quietly.
