Steve does great work, a real service for small-timers. Pins would be good, and the mods Steve mentions in his post would be very good also, but the jaws are first-rate. Steve, I'll be in touch soon- I know I left you hanging, but things are better now.

So wait, they carve ducks and pipes?!

Finster, I don't think a removable "condensation tube" is what he was referring to. Kamkiel --- you are talking about a pressed/glued reinforcing tube that's PART of the stem, yes? If so, don't worry, reproducing it isn't necessary for a repair. If not, please describe in greater detail o...

From what I understand aluminum inner tubes were instituted in an effort to cool the smoke being drawn before it reaches the smokers mouth, similar to the effect a longer churchwarden stem has on the draw. I have a few old Hilsons that had such tubes in them, and I found that they created moisture p...

Pipe and review both received, many thanks Seamonster and notow1. I have offered a brief review to Seamonster and will give a more complete critique when I've gotten a few more smokes in his pipe, but he did a great job. All of the offerings look really nice, talented pipemakers here. Sorry I can't ...

I can only speak for myself as a new member, but I can honestly say that I never had an interest in joining a forum of any kind until I stumbled upon PMF back in March. Hope it keeps going strong.

Cool, your crap shines?! Oh wait I think I got confused.

My son is in pre-op to have ear tubes implanted. Been chain smoking Five Brothers all morning.

Buffing tonight, hope to get pictures up tomorrow.

Mr. Dibos, you look great in that tie !

Watching the Rankin/Bass cartoon version of the Hobbit with my four amazing children- Presbyterian mixture in my goofy Macqueen churchwarden. Judge me all you want .

I'm on target for the 31st. Considering putting up a countdown clock and having wax and polishing cloth in hand to drop when it hits all zeros, top chef style .

Now that's a handy cup!

Thanks guys. Guess there's not many of us after all.

Workflow, pacing, how many, how much have been some of my major concerns. I don't get a lot of shop time and when I do I have at times been almost paralyzed creatively, not quite knowing where to start. I haven't figured out yet which works best, but I do know when I focus on one pipe it took me alm...

Thank you sir, I wish there was more quality control around that approached yours with your work, the world would be a better place. But yes, I did mean not any.

Hal o' the Wynd in a country gent cob (lazy today, up late last night playing with epoxy and extensions).

So I'm not looking to call anyone out, there are no implications here, but I'm curious. How many forum members are not selling their pipes. I mean, choose not to sell them, not that can't seem to sell them. Are thre many of us? Again, not judging anything here, more like taking a census.
