Sid.Stavros how many kombolois do you have?.I read there's a museum in Athens that have thousands,do you own it?
I believe Sid has more pipes than kombolois, he counts in hundreds, literally!Sid.Stavros how many kombolois do you have?
17,19 & 23,those are the pray ones.I think the smaller ones are "worry beads",to fiddle with.I had been wondering the same thing for a bit.
I've also wondered about the bead quantity. Tradition is 23 in Greece, I thought, but there's a number discrepancy in a lot of them.
Oh right "counts" ,good one!I believe Sid has more pipes than kombolois, he counts in hundreds, literally!

Wow that pipe has a massive bowl!50/50 dark fired/red VA plug-ish
I think I may want to make a dedicated plug cutter to slice more consistent flakes once I get the plug making down.
