Decommissioned fire hose

[Darrin]

Not a fan of working with this stuff, and it really beats up your tools, but stuck through it to the end product.
Set into a brass cigar because I was a firefighter and remember the brass nozzles.
Big Mama Babycakes also gave her approval.

Is fire house really thick or is it wrapped around the tube?

There was no tube, I drilled and went from there.

My son is a volunteer firefighter, maybe I should get a hold of some and make him one like it.

Search for firehose micarta. NV Woodwerks has a video on how to do.

Ok Darrin you lost me. What do you mean there was no tube? Did you roll up the hose in a tight roll then saturate with CA then drill like a blank? I wrapped mine around the tube and started from there.

Solid hose layered then drilled to accept the tube.
