Darn... I was filing away with a rasp and the damn thing slipped on me. I was thinking of ovaling the stem.

 

[somedumbjerk]

you could shorten it. or rusticate the stem and make people hella mad.

Bummer but better the stem than your thumb

Time to put a ring, ball or other eye-catching feature into the stem...I've done that a few times, just means there's more avenue for creativity. There's no mistakes, really, just how to deal with 'em.

as a pipe maker I can tell you, I would much rather take a chunk out of my finger than my pipe or stem. Can't fix the pipe with a bit of duct tape
