Default yes my 3rd kit is here!

took a while to get here. I got a bent pipe this time. Two more on the way
Oh and I got a dremel 300 kit for about 85 bucks. One with a small work bench. This kit should make my sawing, sanding and polishing much much easier and better I hope. Cant wait to use it

You really going to town on pipes aren't you! :-) Suggest you search out Brebbia for pictures of smooth bents. I have a large one, and it's slim, light, not to thick at the top.

Leave the stem attached all the while you work the shank so that junction is perfect. Also, consider most new smooth pipes have very flat tops with sharp outside edges. Well used pips that have seen a lot of fixing and buffing have rounded edges. Just a thought. Depends on your style.

Keep us updated.
