A short explanation of one of the solutions I use when making bent pipes with weird drilling angles. My first video shot in English! I welcome all comments :)
I was sad when I saw your previous videos to find they were all in Polish, so I was happy to see one in English. Lo and behold your English is in fact excellent, which I thought was much less prevalent in Poland. Personally I've somehow managed to keep all the pipes I've made so far at an angle that allows drilling the mortise and airway with at most a small notch. I have used this trick a few times by enlarging the mortise to 10-11mm, but never to the width you're showcasing here. Except ofcourse when making Reverse Calabashes. I'd love to see the finished stem for this one, and how the tenon looks in relation to the rest of the pipe.
Dzien Dobry Wojtek - thanks for sharing this
Wspaniały angielski aż miło posłuchać. Dzięki za ciekawe info. I hope one day I will be able to buy one of your pipes. Great work mate. Best regards.
