I still have some work to do on the stem. My hands can only take it so long and I have to take a break.

Nice job. I like the way you left the rim and the bit of the shank natural. Very creative....

Very nice work. Is that a Dremel you used? 🙂 Yes, I have the flex shaft attachment and it makes it easier to control and more comfortable. Have to get some other bits and see what can be done with them. |

Very nicely done, Ken. Looks like you have a new hobby. Gives you a great satisfaction, doesn't it? I'm pretty happy with it. I was surprised how well it came out because I wasn't sure what I was doing and just went with it. |

Thanks for the kind words. To be honest I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing. Just took a dremel and bit and ran it over the pipe. The shank end was intentional. I wanted a break between the stem and the rest of the pipe. I wrapped it with heavy foil tape to protect from a jumpy Dremel. The top of the bowl had to be topped and evened and was sanded until the dip was gone. I plugged the chamber and mortise and used a high temp paint then sanded the rim and used a high temp clear coat on it. It was a fun project and will be digging around to find the next victim.
