Some of my American blades & pinewood . I have been whittling for years it seems, I do not need money & there is nothing I need to make that I cannot buy, but just a work of my hands to discipline myself to manual labour . It is not masonry, it is just madness. I have a little collection of blades & tools. I cannot find a blade to my satisfaction that hones satisfactorily and is sharp enough & keeps keen, but I keep searching. But I am just a beginner & unapprenticed. I have some Cherry & Ebony & Lime & Olive & stuff, but I mainly use pine. But I have a few books & Google etc for good information. I did some professional courses many years ago , but never had the capital......but I may make one or two attempts at pipes I have some crazy folk ideas, I cannot match Dunhills. But pipe dreams & work in progress, it may please me to make them as gifts but that is another story, I have too much , junk, bling & twee, myself , I can always burn them on my barbie bonfire, that would be fitting. Anyway I am always interested in people's tools and hobbies, but I have nothing to teach. Maybe some of you guys can share you tips & suggestions.  |

 I ordered a neat little bench drill vice , for my bench drill, for pipe work & stuff, particularly for my Chinese corncob customising project, due tomorrow. i have an idea for an exotic wood tamper, based on the Bremen pipers work, with my little dremel tools, thinking of adding pyrography, and gems for the ladies. |

Some of my portable gear I have collected over the years, in my temporary portable work den , I have a wooden shed that needs assembling a one man job, no one wants to return favours, to busy, the story of my life. Been puffing on Uncle Tom's in the King cob, while doing a prototype of Bremen pipers man tamper, roughed it out with a flexcut Jack knife , on hard "Blackwood" got the blisters and cuts in new places, hi! My dremel gear is to finish it, my first attempt. I have a little lathe & benchdrill that will come in handy. Time for a collation of something fishy, for teatime evening meal....the Mr. Bremen pipers tamper video is below. Been listening to some woody Native American music on Calm Internet radio, to inspire me with some Elven craft....    |

I have jumped in the deep end on YouTube to make a fool of myself. No hard feelings take care folks, love you & leave you. ...and yet another excellent presentation from across the globe... well done Motto ! If I may recommend - pairing a fine scented plug like CONDOR or Warrior Plug with your Chivas Regal Blended Scotch, neat, w/a drop or two of spring water to open up the palette. As a side note, I found it difficult to hear you well on the YouTube presentation... maybe boosting the gain on your microphone or getting closer to it will help. Also, a little more light in the foreground to accentuate your portraiture, and a bit less light in the background - better foreground focus on you as well. I look forward to more in a series of YouTube and other video presentations - we need more of your quality participation - please don't be a stranger around here... BRAVO... ENCORE!!!!! |

Thank you , for the constructive criticism, Baboo, I use my tablet with inbuilt camera & microphone, but with your experienced observation , I will use my Digital SLR, and external microphone, I am a complete beginner, hi. I have not done a class or studied a thing of video making, but I will try & improve, it is a nice part of the friendly pipe hobby, I like a challenge of something new. Love you & leave you, for now folks. I have started two YouTube channels, so far. |

I deleted my Youtube videos & tried again with my camera, but unlike the tablet it takes over an hour to upload the video from an SD card on a PC to YouTube. I am not happy with the lighting nor the audio. I will have to try a video editing app so I can record the audio on my digital recorder, work in progress. But I have never been a media nor sales person, engineers like myself in the past , are locked in the working "dungeons", away from the luvvies, in the arty media & sales departments, so my presentation skills are very amateur, such is life.

Excellent, Motto! The sound quality is far superior to previous vids... Foreground is still somewhat out of focus vs. the background, and lighting should be dimmed just a little bit on your portraiture for more dramatic albeit credible warm fireside effect. You really have a vid star natural quality that I would like to see on a regular worldwide YouTube feature, and I also enjoy your pairing of beverage with pipe whether it's spirits or mother nature's juiciest best. If you have the proper vaporizer/s, have you tried vaping natural pipe tobaccos via vaping? It is an incredible expansion of scope in tobacco flavors without the charring flavors of the pipe. Anniversary Kake is one of my favorites in a vape devise (Arizer Solo)... so sweet, nutty, toasty, woodsy, leathery, and tobacco flavor w/o the char!!! Give it a go if you can!!! Thanks for all you contribute to our club!!! Keep it up!!! |

Thanks again for the constructive criticism Baboo, "Take 4" coming soon. Thanks for the tips on tobacco vaping, I looked into it but it does not appeal to me, but I enjoy my 0mg Vapes as a complement to pipes & cigars, & you can smoke Vapes in some " bars" over here, but I have not been to pubs for over ten years when they redeveloped our olde local pubs & Family Community Club. But I will give the vid star side a miss, thanks, anyway......

Pipe dreaming of designing Plastic pipes with metal bowls, by using 3D scanning software and customising the design with software , the printing the prototype plastic pipe bowl with a 3D printer, the getting a batch made by a plastic mould manufacturing shop, Maybe some Entrepreneur, engineer , craftsman , artisans, have the capital to do it, the Chinese plastic metal pipes are good engineering & craft, in my opinion. Just an idle pipedream , necessity is the mother of invention, I would have sooner been working on the space programme, but such is life.
