Waiting some extra hours for steel delivery, i tried my hand at a wrap and weld pipe hawk. Hawk body is mild steel with a rr track moustache clip insert, the bowl is mild steel. Bowl is press fit for now, will silver solder it before fitting the handle. Gonna pick up a predrilled curly maple. A very cool project, had alot of fun, will definitely do it again, was very easy wrapping around the drift then welding, instead of trying to drift afterwards.
2.5 hours start to finish head no handle.
