Stone Pipes
That's the first pipe. Nicely loaded with some Phoenix Lights. Pretty meds for a pretty pipe. Tough too. I dropped it from about four feet high onto concrete and it didn't break. it bounced a foot high, landed right on the end on the bowl. But this thread isn't about showing this pipe. It's about making this pipe. well, mostly about making other pipes, but this one too. 12 have now been completed. Here's a few pics to kick it off, then over the next few days or so I'll bring it up to date. The red one has just been cleaned from lots of use. I just use hot water. cleans it like new. Never use vinegar or anything acidic on your stoneware. I don't like any kind of solvent either that might soak into the rock. Water works perfect. These are the last ones i've done. Soon they'll be given away.

Subb'd, looks rugged. Having been "haunted" by stone pipe images for the last two weeks, specially volcanic ones and now end up here lol. Care to elaborate on this matter, or any kind of advice for folks who still don't have a "glass" culture around and have to try their own hand at things?
Cheers

Hopefully not soapstone or asbestos-free. If soap stone, it'd break falling as mentioned. They look great!

I'll start with a rock
I'll hopefully answer any questions that have been asked or will be asked as I go. I still haven't thought through the best way to format this thread. I found the rock above, cut it and what looked like just a rock, was a nice uniform brownish, looks black when dry, brown - red when wet. layered, my guess is a mudstone. like sandstone but with finer particles, so it takes a polish. here it is with the basic shape drawn on it. Got a new blade for the water saw. I installed tile and stone in a previous life, so I have a Target tile saw with a 10" blade.

So we're talking just a basic 10" tile and stone saw?
Cool! (*I got my wife a saw of that sort with laser for her birthday last year. Like many 'gifts' I get for her, she may come home one day and find me using it now. ;^>) ). |
