Nice! Is that your first one? Thanks! I'm up to about 15 or so now. My buddy Don posted some of them about a week ago. |

Nice work! I’m impressed. That’s a skill I surely don’t.

That’s what happened to me, except I just decided to try pipes again out of the blue. Took about 6 months before I was considering making my own, and started at 7 months. Your pipe looks pretty good. I’m more than willing to help with any questions or if you’d like private critique. don has a couple of my pipes that I did during my first year. I restemmed one of them for him last year. I also owe him a pipe, but I’ve stopped doing commissions for the time being. Too much stress at the moment. Hi don ! |

I just spent my first 3 1/2 years as a pipe maker trying to realize someone else’s vision. I eventually fell way behind in my list due to lack of motivation, and had to close the books for awhile. It started ruining what I’d meant to be a creative/artistic outlet by becoming a pipe factory. Enough about my nonsense though. I do have some sage advice if the OP wants to send me a PM. |

I'm a fledgling and you just described why I stopped. I still have one commission, he says he'll wait, one I need to finish the stem on, and 4 stem repairs to finish. Then I will MAYBE get back to what you taught me... |

I met Steve Norse from Vermont Freehand at the LVIPS….If I had suitcase capacity (Allegiant airlines is always trying to hose you), I would have had Brad Pohlmann pick some pieces for you Terry.
I just don’t know what to look for.
😕
Next year I will probably drive.

I love that little pipe. |

A friend turned me on to pipe smoking about a year ago. About 4 months ago I was buying ebay estate pipes to restore them. Now I have a lathe, blasting cabinet, sanding wheels and boxes of materials. Had no idea this hobby would evolve into this.    Dig it, nice work |

You did very good!
