| I took a few pix as I went along on this one - just enough to kind of show the process that my 100 year old virgin-harvested fossilized petrified and in many other ways completely and unusually superior briar is.... wait, what was I talking about? Anyway, I made a pipe, you can follow along in your book. Pick me out a great big-ass chunk of briar:  Cut 'er square, make some marks, transfer a design yadda yadda  Then it's over to the drill press and make the holes connect (if I'm lucky). Chamber is drilled, end of the shank is faced, mortise for the stem is drilled, then the airway. Usually. Around here anyway.  Once drilled, I take the stummel to the bandsaw and rough it out, and then in this case, mount to the lathe. Cheapo bugger I am I just glue it up, respectable pipe makers have frightening contraptions for holding whirling blocks.  more to come |

| Nothing ruined yet! Next a rod of ebonite is drilled out, filed out, and very very roughly shaped. Popped onto the lathe, I cut the tenon fit the thing to the pipe. Finished edges of the pipe are protected by tape now.  And then a whole buncha shaping with a file and sandpapers, a run through the sandblaster and some finish work, it's a pipe. I'll get some pix of the blasted stummel before I finish it next time. I forgotted this time.  |

| Wait, didn't you ask me to break it in for you, Falconer??
It should be there in a day or two. Would not have been surprised had you got it yesterday. |
