It would be kinda cool to have pens with the Country of Manufacture area and/or logo present on the barrel.
That was my original thought as well, but between the fact the he had buffed the stamps off the pipe long ago and the fact I had to take quite a bit off of the shanks to get them to the right size it just wasn’t in the cards.
That’s a really great tribute to him! Well done!
Great idea! A beautiful way for the kids to remember their elder and very cool it was crafted by their father. Priceless.
I was thinking you could turn some of the bowls into napkin rings or stack a few together for a pipe cleaner holder. You could also make tampers out of the bits . Heat a roofing nail, push it into the stem,then magic, a tamper.
That's some real talent and ingenuity. Not what I expected when I clicked on the thread. Sorry for your loss but I can't think of a better way to carry on the memory of a loved one lost.
I would keep all the stems that are usable and Chuck the roaches pipes. Stems come in handy.
That is awesome!!! Great idea, and nicely done. It is something that his two sons will cherish, I'm sure.
Have you thought about making more and selling them. I'm sure many would be interested. I definitely would be.
You weren't kidding either. Those pipes were definitely well loved. I don't think I've ever seen a collection of pipes smoked to that level before. Dang!
Thank you.There aren’t really anymore pipes in there with substantial enough un-cracked shanks to make any more pens. I’m probably gonna make few tampers though. I’m still trying to figure out something I can make with more of them.
Well, it looks like you got enough pipes to keep you busy making something for a little bit any way.
Perfect use. Even if you end up tossing the worst of them you know that a part of the collection lives on in the family.
