External Downstems

External Downstems

Posted by Eugene Rain on 9/29/2005
Here's a new design. External downstems penetrating into the main chamber.

The last six months I’ve been in a creative slump, and on Monday morning I woke up with a new idea finally! So I went to the drawing board and I did a little sketch which ended up being a barely legible doodle so Misha had no idea what I was talking about when I showed her, so I put it off for a day or so. Here’s what I ended up with, which is a prototype of only one idea. I have many ideas for this design, but only so much time to be making pipes these days. Amazingly enough it's now more of a hobby for us!

It’s downstems are on the outside, so it chugs like a freight train! It's 10 inches tall

It will be great to see a really nice one of these, when we can get around to making one. :D ~Matt

    hmm
    Eugene Rain: Well kind of I guess but not really since it's not a self perk and functions a bit different. There's a downstem in the very top chamber, and that goes into the external chambers.
