Re: Starting out
It appears that someone is trying to make a "Random Messer" out of things here...
Re: Pricing
Yeah, but he does have a cheap one! $1,200SimeonTurner wrote:I ask myself "how much would Mike Messer charge for this". Then, I drop 3 zeroes off the end and call it good.
The most expensive one is a little out of reach at $6,500, though...
What a dope! How on earth does the guy get so much gall?

Re: Christmas Pipe Give Away
We always go out all around the city to look at lights. Our local paper has a map all geared toward families (on a tight budget) to go out and have a cheap thrill. Got a bunch of presents under the tree, finally! The aunts and uncles came through big time this year...

Re: 13-11 'Gear-Punk'
It's too pretty, that's my only complaint. Steam-punk pipes should be way uglier than that...

Very nice! Most of us (I assume) would love to be able to draw as good as that!

Re: Chubby freehand with horn
It's a good looking pipe. I agree that, for my tastes, the overall composition would work better if the bowl were more slim or the shank thicker. The bit stem work looks great. The button looks nice and thin. There's a lot of good things going on with this pipe. You don't think it's manly and cool,...

Re: Chubby freehand with horn
I think it's a beauty. It seems to me that this genre, near pencil shank with a "club" for a bowl, is very manly and totally cool. I've made a couple like this. One problem that I've had is potential breakage. I had one in a basket on the floor (big mistake!) and the kids put something hea...

Re: New photographing method for pipes...
Except for the artifact at the bottom of the pipe, that is one cool effect! Thanks for sharing some tech with us!

Re: Tiny dublin
So this is the one you mentioned. It looks pretty good in symmetry and the ornamentation is very nice. One issue I see is the transition from the shank to the bowl. It doesn't quite look right to me. Can't quite put it into words....sorry about that!
Are you going to abandon drill first?

Fine work, Bill. Keep it up and you could give up your day job and start being a professional "non-pipemaker"

Wayne,
Exceptional! I agree that it appears to be FH Danish. It doesn't fit well with any other description in my book.

Re: Not as cool as Walles but....
I love the detail on the bottom of the brandy. Looks very artfully done.
