There have been so many good pipe makers that burst onto the scene that I no longer hear about or see new pipes from. Just wandering if we can start a thread about updates on pipe makers. If anyone knows if they are still producing pipes or is wandering if he/she is still making pipes chime in. I'll start:

Adam Remington- I have 4 pipes from him and he has some serious talent but haven't seen any new offerings in awhile. Anyone know if he is still around?

Kurt Huhn- Have 2 pipes from him, not sure where he is ?

John Crosby- Have 2, but haven't seen anything

Maigurs Knets- Have 3, very talented but I think he is now concentrating on art.
Updates on any of these guys?

I've heard that Maigurs is out of the pipemaking business.
Last I heard of Kurt he was focusing more on knife making. Not sure if he's out of the pipemaking biz for good or not.
I talk to John on occasion and he isn't currently making pipes but I'd be surprised if he quits altogether. His production was always low even when he was most active. He made pipes in his spare time.

Adam is making pipes full time and he is back in Arizona.
Kurt Huhn was always part time making pipes and he may be doing a few here and there.
John Crosby also has always been part time. He is an Engineer by trade. I see him on occassion on the PMF Google Hangouts. He makes a pipe once in a while
Maigurs said he will only make pipes when he wants to now. He took a 9-5er.

I used to do woodworking on the side. But I make more with OT than I ever made selling. Also, it is guaranteed income and it helps management make their goals, making them happy with me. I don't trust myself with power tools when I have worked more than 10 hours at the office.
Yes, I understand the reasons for cutting back production.

David McCarter still makes pipes but on a very part time basis. If you ask him for a commission he'll do it. He also produced 3 for the Chicago show this year. His 9to5+ takes up most of his time though.
