[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 232333, member: 509"] Kaiser came to me a few months ago, and he said "I want a really big pipe." "Okay," says I, "I make big pipes pretty often." "Nonono," says Kaiser, "a REALLY big pipe." "How big?" says I. "How big can you make it?" says Kaiser. "Ah." says I. THAT big. THAT big can be done, but it needs special stuff. So, an email to Makis Minetos in Greece results in a "No problem boss, I will find you such a piece." And what a piece. I mean, I've bought loaves of bread smaller than this thing. [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/Sasquatchman1/2012/kaiser001.jpg[/IMG] Draw up a pipe, make sure that the angles work, that it can be drilled, etc [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/Sasquatchman1/2012/kaiser003.jpg[/IMG] and make a few cuts on the bandsaw, hoping the block is solid. Really big briar is often terrible inside. [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/Sasquatchman1/2012/kaiser004.jpg[/IMG] This looks great so far. Onto the lathe for preliminary shaping and chamber drilling: [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/Sasquatchman1/2012/kaiser005.jpg[/IMG] More to come [/QUOTE]
