So I decided to try to be creative and make my own wooden pipe, whether to smoke or sit on the fire place mantle I'm not sure yet but regardless I want it to be functional. Small pipes don't look like much of a problem, my dad has every wood working tool imaginable except a lathe. The problem I'm going to run into Is the giant curved "gandalf" esque pipes that have a giant curved stem I haven't a bloody clue how to drill the smoke hole for. I can't find anything online except for small or straight pipes. I'll include a link to the type of stem I'm talking about.
