I would like to make a pipe similar to this, I have some great briar bowls with broken/badly cracked shanks that would work. I’m going to stop at Home Depot and Lowe’s Hardware to see if I can configure all the metal parts needed. Most likely in the plumbing department👌👍👍 So, is this a cool looking pipe or is it just me??  |

Perry, it’s definitely some type of fitting. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for something similar.

Looks like a low voltage light fixture. Where the tubing is with the spring wrap is where the wiring would go.

That's not something I'd ever smoke.
But it's a great looking piece just the same
It simultaneously looks old-world industrial and futuristic.
That's pretty cool.

I like it - the pipe is a "steampunk" style which is really cool. I would be curious as to whether it gets hot especially around the shank.

I see a 50s-60s era Harley running light the lid (lens cover) even looks close, the body of the running light cut out to expose the briar bowl.the wiring and mounting holes would work out right.... So it appears to me.

Thank Dave.... I wouldn’t have had a clue without his pic. I just checked Nate King’s website... a different pipe but steampunk for 3700 bones. www.natekingpipes.com |

Guess I'll have to root through my scrap parts bin since I have lots of stainless, brass and copper. Who knows what one can come up with.
