Compound slide

The compound slide and tool arrangement will enable me to turn with  more accuracy and stability. With the ability  to turn brass and aluminum as well  .

Alexander of Greece 
This pipe is huge you could use it to paddle a cedar-strip canoe across Canada.
Loaded it up with my special turning blend.
I take a little tobacco down to my machine shop each day and add it to the tin.
Smoked cool and smooth and  forever.
Won't need any more nicotine this morning.
I don't think this pipe has been smoked much not a lot of cake.
Reamed down to the timber easily.
Used  pure alcohol and pipe cleaners to clean inside.
Not a lot of gunk came out nice and clean.
I really like this pipe if the bowl was half size it would be perfect for me.
Last but not least.
I would like to thank the ever generous Hobo Hoot for gifting me this beautiful pipe.
