    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...

    Out Jumps Good ol' Santa Claus...??????

    Yeah man, I can see that. I Dig it. Rustic French. Next up, the pot au feu of pipes!

    Out Jumps Good ol' Santa Claus...??????

    That’s a good assertion. I couldn’t figure out what the shaping was like. It definitely has an “old world” feel to it, but definitely not English or Danish. The swooping line would be in keeping with French filigree.

    Out Jumps Good ol' Santa Claus...??????

    Don’t give him any ideas. Though, I’m not opposed to a pipe with a pelt glued to it…

    Out Jumps Good ol' Santa Claus...??????

    I’m careful with that. No worries. Notice the rest of it is fine.

    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...

    ...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.

    ...Reindeer Pause...??????

    Quality would suffer if I rushed things… ;-) I might be the three-toed sloth pipe maker, but you can be sure I buttoned things up to the best of my ability.

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

    There is a lot of hand work that goes into any pipe. Stems, sanding, heck - I usually eschew my Foredom for hand files 99% of the time. 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...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2021?***

    I need to make you a Dublin, don't I. Yikes. I have no idea how that fell off the radar.

    Flashy Pipes: Not Your Grandpa’s Billiard

    "Spring Time Pipe" I whipped up for myself as kind of a gag this year. Smokes well, though!

    Review of the 5

    Snuff. Toque straight Rustica snuff. It's the strongest nic hit of anything I've ingested. I ingest it multiple times a day, because I'm very nice tolerant, and it's the only thing that gives me that focused pep without the jitters like caffeine.

    To stay on topic, here's most of my collection. The rest is collecting more dust.

    FYI, I've gone through two stummels already working on that other project. On my third now. Not easy. I INSIST on completing it, though.
