I'll let everyone know once it's ready. It'll be a week or two till it's ready to show off. I'm making 2 test pipes currently. I'm running behind since some of the parts I needed were out of stock...

Going on vacation next week, but i'm hoping to have all the molds done before I leave. I have the rough prototype mold of the curved pipe done. once I'm done with the 2 prototypes, I'll make some real molds with molding resin and be able to mass produce them fairly quickly. Everything will be made to order though, so there will be about a 2 week turnaround, but you'll be able to specify weave pattern, color, etc.

The finial molded pipes (not the prototypes) will be 3 layer, 1 piece pipes (no cutting and refusing), so they will be strong. I can't comment on pricing till I get the prototypes finished and I can establish the total based costs of supplies etc.

Curved pipe for CAI


Carbon for Prototypes One will be black, one will be orange.
