Thats pretty good. Must feel great to be creative with wood and then be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Props.

That really does look great, superb job! I'd love to carve my own, but I'm not brave enough yet.

Re: Finally made my first pipe today

Great looking pipe, MH. I plan to try my hand at it some time myself. How much time do you have into it?

It wasn't long ago I was bitching about never being able to get one of those from Boswell since they always sell out so fast.

With running to buy tools, setting up my vice, changing saw blades and drill bits, winging my way through it (except the drilling which I've been practicing on walnut blocks I cut) and messing up and redoing stuff it took a whole day and I still haven't waxed it. Today I started another which is about half done at 3 hours.


Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Thank god for online forums or else who could I have bragged to? I haven't smoked it yet and don't know that I plan to. The original idea, a year or more in development, was to try my hand at making these and if I was any good at it then make them to sell for a little extra cash (which is why I started with plain blocks rather than predrilled kits). We'll see.

Re: Finally made my first pipe today

Not a pipe smoker here but man, how cool is that to make your own pipe to sit and enjoy after a hard days work or even on a lazy weekend afternoon. Do bring more pics Joe.

Re: Finally made my first pipe today

Here's a pic of the second one I've been working on. I wanted to get it finished tonight so I won't be messing with it tomorrow when I should be studying. You can see in the photo it has some tweeking that needs to be done, mainly stripping the wax and resanding and rebuffing with a pad I didn't use on my truck last week and turning the stem down a little more so it matches the band. This started out to be a dublin but I ran into pit after pit on it so went with the flow. It had a long pit running from the airway and exiting in the bottom of the bowl so whether I like smooth pipes or not, this one is staying here

Re: Finally made my first pipe today

Joe, you really should think about continuing with this as a hobby and selling them on puff. You are a stand up guy, and I'm sure a good amount of people wouldn't mind owning the two pipes you have made so far. BTW, the 2 pipes that you sold me before have become very serviceable, thanks again.
