    Do You Smoke Outside Your Home/Yard?

    Couldn't vote because SHOP wasn't covered. I don't and won't smoke in the house or my truck.

    Estate Pipes Nice To Look At, But-

    Because of health issues I had to cut back on commissions and pipe making in general. Although I'm feeling much better now I'm still trying to pace myself so I can continue to meet the demand. I am taking more commissions now but, I'm being a little more picky as to what I choose to do. I hope...

    Pipe Maker Question Regarding Lathes

    I have a wooden shop building sitting on pier (blocks) and beam and have a 500 pound metal lathe. At first I had trouble with it rocking a bit but, after I bolted it to "C" canel and mounted the feet out board of the stand my problems ended.

    Anybody Know?

    I was wondering if anyone knows a Ken B? I won't give his full last name on open forum. I'm trying to get a hold of him because I'm working on a pipe for him and I think my emails are ending up in his spam. Any help well certainly be appreciated, please PM me with any info, thank you!

    Help with Breaking In My Pipe

    Starting out with a inexpensive briar (I hope, otherwise worse) pipe may not be the best thing to do in my experience. Some cheaper pipes are just nasty and will never break in enough to enjoy a smoke. And Not that you should start with a good quality one either but, I believe one should start...
