We had discussed this a little in another thread. I clamped this old stem in a vice and applied a little heat to it while carefully bending it. I got a nice offset, but I really wanted more of a Hawkbill look.
I'm going to take another whack at it with a tiny tip on my oxy/acetylene rig. I was using a big propane torch at my parents place, kind of a spur of the moment deal. I wrapped wet rags around the plastic to keep it safe.
