    Brown Trout Museum Style Idea for Visible Storage and Housing Your Collection

    Man, that is a fine idea. I like the way you think. I make strange pipes and display bases to mount them on. Typically just an interesting chunk of wood/bark coated with satin or flat poly, then with a half dozen or so tiny holes that I slip brass wire into. The pipes slide over the wires, head...

    Lead Warnings

    If I may, can we not go culture war here? For instance, I myself have done good a few times in my life so I must be a do-gooder. Something tells me you other fellows are also closet do-gooders that really just don't want to be told what to do. Do-gooders have done much good over time, things...

    Ten Minute Tiny Pipes

    Yeah, I know, they look hideous in that pic. I think it was the CFL lighting since the green washed out completely and red (on the opposite side of the color wheel) became dominant. And yes, the one with the 1/2" bowl could be mistaken for a hash pipe, I suppose. I appreciate your comment, Sir.

    Ten Minute Tiny Pipes

    Here are a few pocket pipes I made, each an experiment in making it more convenient to take a pipe on your dinner date and suitable for a lady or a man . The top one was the first I made a couple years ago and the latest one it at lower right. Covered pipes are really convenient. You can load...

    A Typical Reaction to Pipesmoking?

    I have some alcoholics and drug addicts in my family. When I was a young child of the 70's, I smoked Mary Jane for years and drank daily for probably thirty years. I also began smoking and making tobacco pipes about that time, too. While I've witnessed the devastating effects of addictions on...

    Howdy from Kansas City, more or less

    Well, I'm happy to have received such a warm welcome from such a group of fine-looking people. My wife is a HS art teacher and amateur photographer, so when my camera battery, etc. comes in I'll see about getting some pictures up. Thank you again for the kindness.

    Howdy from Kansas City, more or less

    I'm happy to show what I've made, as long as it doesn't put me crosswise with the forum rules. I don't want to offend the sponsors. Plus,I just found out I need a new battery for my fancy digital camera, so that's on order. Hopefully I can get some decent pics up soon. As you guys know, taking...

    Yipper, I have a small 10 acre forest in a semi wooded region bounding Smithville Lake. I can't see or hear my neighbors. Perfect.

    Howdy from Kansas City, more or less

    Hello, Ken. I believe my family hails from Hartland, in or about Devon back before they paddled to America in the 1800s.

    Howdy from Kansas City, more or less

    I'm Kent. I'm 72 and long retired. I've enjoyed pipes and cigars off and on for over fifty years. I made my first pipe when I was 19 and only a few more in the middle years, before I got the bug again about three years ago. I enjoy woodworking so it's a perfect outlet. I do own a couple basic...
