I made three pretty big mistakes on my first homemade pipe. First was sawing into the air hole. Second was taking too much material off of the shank so the saddle stem is bigger than the outside diameter of the shank. Third I took too much material off of the bottom of the bowl and broke into the tobacco hole when I was filing. I don't quit on a pipe, so I'm filling the hole in the bottom of the bowl with pipe mud and sealing it with epoxy.

Pretty sorry first attempt, but I did love doing it. I'll see if I can smoke it, and go from there. They say color inside the lines, but be sure to cut outside the lines!

Just finished roasted chicken and garden zucchini and loaded a Let Freedom Ring Rob Roy with GLP Abingdon. Time to crack open a Woodchuck Amber hard cider and watch NFL preseason game.

Great first try! I would be happy with that result on my fiftieth try.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, steelhead trout and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm nearing the half way mark on this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Back from dinner at the Legion. They changed up the menu, so we had patty melts with salad. Quite good for 8 bucks. Now having CS Northwest Trek in a Maestro de Paya bent Rhodesian with oolong tea. Trying to rain. Good evening everyone.

Virginia Maryland One Sucker with Perique in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum.

I'm happy, I think my new pipe is smokable. The walls are too thin everywhere but it has a nice open draw and when I cover the tobacco hole it's pretty tight. I plan to smoke it on Saturday after I come back from playing. Pics tomorrow

I find that making mistakes is the best way to learn something... That's what I tell myself anyways! Some 220 grit sandpaper will take that stem down to the right diameter in no time!
