Pipe making update

Chucked up and starting to turn the bowl
all went well UNTIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I drilled the bowl and started to
Bore the chamber as i don't have a drill big enough.
Disaster struck the tool grabbed POW ZAP BANG.
And it was over.  

Not all days are golden.
Shame because my new chuck is working so well.

  1. In the top pick, you have a perfect 'panel' style going. It never occurred to me that that would happen, duh. Could have left it there and gone to finishing! Dark stain and you've got yourself a partner for your Comoy's :)

    BUMMER about the exploding block dude. But hey, save the bits and use them for fancy ferrules down the track :) It may have your tools, but also may have been a hairline crack in the wood, who knows. Onward and upward old bean!
