Seeking Independent Pipe Makers
Yes. And, @HawkeyeLinus is right. I kinda just make pipes when I have time and motivation. Work has been so busy for the last several months that pipe production has slowed to a crawl. That should change in the next couple weeks. I’m pretty sure Walt Cannoy is in Florida. He puts out a real...- cramptholomew

Out Jumps Good ol' Santa Claus...??????
These are always great fun, even though I’m always nervous coming up with the execution. Mr. Embers has been a customer of mine since six months after I started making pipes. He put a lot of faith in me. That first Santa pipe from 2019 was barely a year after I started. My first of his “make me...- cramptholomew

...Reindeer Pause...??????
Haha, add at least 50lbs around the middle, then turn the pecs into man boobs, and that might be a closer approximation. The six pack is definitely under there, though. Definitely.- cramptholomew

Hand made, high grade, pipesmith, pipe maker, pipe carver, craftsmen, or artisan?

I use machines for drilling, some turning (amount is relative to the shape I’m making), rough shaping, blasting, and buffing. I’d say, though, time-wise, the...- cramptholomew
