Step 6Assemble the Bottom
The parts from left to right are: the Point, a coupling (cut in half), a full coupling, and the final interface to the dowel, is a section of 1" diameter pipe.
The pipe section length shown in the finished product below is about 2.5 inches. It could be longer - your preference. The extra half coupling (with the crown cut) isn't essential. It is there for artistic balance.) A minium stack-up of Point/coupling/pipe would work just as well.
- Scallops were added with a file to soften the "cut-off pipe" look.
- The stippling texture pattern was made with the tip of a nail and and an easy tap of a hammer (over and over...)
Sweat the sections together with flux, solder, and a torch.
