Complimented for Smoking a Pipe
Get compliments all the time and I smoke mostly english blends......... The best thing we can do when complimented is to try to strike up a conversation with the complimentors. It's one way we can discuss pipe smoking, making people aware of the fact that it's something we enjoy and that...- smokindawg

How many pipes do you own?
I really have no idea....... especially if I counted the ones in the shop awaiting refurb. Plus most of the pipes I was smoking are still packed up from our move almost a year ago....... If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere between 250-300 pipes or so. I have a cabinet that I made that will...- smokindawg

Pipe making - drill bits.
I use Modified spade bits, Ball nosed end mills and also some regular drill bits. But I cut the shank off my spade bits and use the short version......... Just seems more steady, whether it is or not. I then use tapered bits on the stems and a good quality brad point 5/16 and 5/32 bit on the...- smokindawg

Why did you start smoking a pipe?
Peer Pressure! :) Just kidding...... I saw how relaxed my buddy was when he floated down the river in his canoe followed by the delicate smoke eminating from his pipe. I thought how content he looked and thought, "Why Not?" So talked to him, he showed me a little bit about loading the pipe he...- smokindawg

Some of the Pipe Furniture that I've made!
uberam3rica, Actually retired that one and made one about twice as big and at one point I had it almost full. I've cut back a bit and since moving haven't used the cabinet. But I have my office/man cave about finished and will be putting one of the cabinets in there, most likely the one I...- smokindawg

Some of the Pipe Furniture that I've made!
When I first started smoking a pipe, I dabbled in all things pipes. Being from a crafty family that is used to making things, I started out making tampers. Then I started making a few pipe racks. The usual type first, then some cabinets and finally a pipe rack of my own design. As you all look...- smokindawg

What Did You do Today?
Spent most of the day working on my new office. When we bought this new place I pulled a Motorhome out that was built into the house and there was a concrete floor under it, so I framed in the area and made a laundry room in the back area and an office space in the front. Wife told me that I...- smokindawg

What fuel in your Zippo!
Many people love their Zippo lighter and I'm one of those. I did however lose touch with my Zippo for a while after we moved. I recently found it packed away and have started using it again and did miss it. I know many used the old fluid and many loved it when they went to the new formula due to...- smokindawg

Is this pipe worth anything?
I collect the gadget metal pipes and have several examples. I do have one of those, but only with the insert that is in it. My guess, worth whatever you can get someone to pay for it. I'd say worth probably $30-$40 if you find someone looking for one for their collection. (Again, just a guess)- smokindawg

A thesmokindragon Tamper Review
It's a natural progression Dragon, least it was for me. I started with tampers, first of Deer Antler, then started making metal tips for them. Then started making tampers from various woods and other materials. I still make them sometimes when I'm in the mood, but pipe making is now what I work...- smokindawg

Wish You all were here!
Truthfully, I am there, not that exact location, but I have a place in the yard that I'd describe just like that. Just like camping, except you get to go in to a nice bed after the fire. :)- smokindawg

Cleaning the outside of a pipe bowl
For really dirty pipes, I use Murphy's oil soap full strength. I put a light coating on using a Q-tip and then after a minute or two, I follow that with a cloth with alchohol on it. This will remove any residue from the Murphy's. As said, it will dull the finish, but if you do these steps with...- smokindawg
