Stems fitting and drilling

Today's news - stems fitting finished with no one discarded piece ,-)

P.S.
Here are some pictures of recent work done. The bowls are turned and the second cooling chamber with the cone hole for Spigot fitting are done as well. As you can see, some of the block are with stems fitted already. A big sanding time is coming...

Calabash Poker prototype finished!

Well, after long wondering and playing with the shape I think I finally got the proportions I wanted. Below are some pics of the first finished Poker, as well as few shots from the bench. Be well!!

The stems are here!

Well, after loooooong waiting finally I've got the stems today, so I can continue working at full speed! Here are some more pics of the pipes in progress.

I am thinking of preparing a small printbook with picsof the history of the pipes as a small bonus for all the guys that made this happen!
