You can see the procedure with step by step photos here: https://pipe-smoke.blogspot.com/2010/02/8.html
The pipe code is: M8-6

Ladies & Gentlemen thank you for watching and happy pipe smoking!

some spare briar pipes for testing, a steady hand and lot of practise. Wear a glove on the hand that you holding the bowl because these bit in high rpm are dangerous!

Morning Sid,
Cheers for the photos. Can't wait until Xmas, might be getting a dremmel !
