ah, now i get it :) I thought i would translate the interview, so it makes a little more sense to all of you: Interviewer: Brian, what are you working on here? Me: Well, i make pipes on a hobby basis. I finished my education nearly a year ago, and then i thought i would start working with my hands. ...

Thank you all for the kind comments! i appreciate that

They are both for sale, if anyone is interested.

Sandahl, i see what you mean about that pinch. I will work on that on future pipes

I'm in a doom metal band here in Denmark, and i just thought i would share a demo with you guys. We are in the process of recording our first release, and EP with 4 songs clocking in at about 30 minutes in total (long songs yes) Anyway, this is a demo version of a song that is going to be on that EP...

I was waiting to hear from the chef, until I remembered it was in Danish not Swedish hmm, i don't understand what you mean? anyway, it was a blast! a lot of people came by and saw my pipes, they stopped for a chat and looked very interested. There were some (very) old men as well who used to smoke ...

We have a couple of very good sources here in Denmark as well:

Hello there! I live in Vejle, Denmark, and the street where i live recently held a small party to celebrate the completiion of a 1-year long renovation. All the stores had tables and stuff on the street, and the theme was "The good taste" So, my neighbor is a wine store, and the owner invi...

I think the shanks looks very good, and actually quite classic for a billiard (at least classic english)
I don't find it too thick. I like this pipe, and you did a good job!

These are the latest pipes i've finished. It took a while to finish the rusticated pipe, because i had to find some shellac (apparently not that easy here in Denmark). Anyway, i've got a lot of "firsts" going on through the summer, like first poker, first billiard, first lovat and so on, b...

Looks good The main issues has already been pointed out, so i will just say that i think you are getting a lot better at your pipe making!

If you want to try something totally different, try Stanwell's "Melange"
Stanwell also make a decent vanilla blend.

You could also try Peter Stokkebye's "Higland Whiskey", if you want to try a whisky blend. It comes in bulk, and it's very cheap.

Hey there. I made this Lovat recently, and i would like to sell it. It comes in a black polyester pouch that i made for it. I'm thinking something like 50 dollars (or you can bid on it).

Hi Darko, welcome to the forum I hope you'll enjoy it here!

Nice pipes you have there, i especially like the morta poker - That is a cool pipe!

i kept one of my own pipes that had the same problem with the drilling. It smokes justs fine, but i'm not sure it would be "sell-able" I like the bowl on this one. I think you did a good job on it, and it's rather elegant. I'm not into that pearwood thing though, i think it looks a bit mis...

Brian, the two pipes came out of one block which had a flaw running through the grain, almost end to end. When I cut the two stummels out, I thought I set the patterns high enough on the block to waste the flaw. However, it showed up in the shank area, and ran up into the bowl wall. I did not previ...

These look very great! I think it's a good idea that you keep the first one, because the second one is just more elegant.
The first one has a bit of a reverse taper going on, because the stem is a bit thicker than the shank in some places, but other than that, great looking pipes!

Thanks

Here's a couple of new pipes. I actually made the dublin before the lovat i posted a while ago, but i wasn't happy about it, so i reworked it. The kit i used was not drilled very good, so the stem is off-centered, but it makes sense when you look at the photo. It was very hard to work around that. A...

Ok guys, i took up your advice, and i reworked this pipe a bit.
See first post for updates and new photos

That is a great first pipe! I'm still new to pipe making, but i've already experienced that my pipes become much better when i don't rush things. Take as much time as needed in every step, and you will be more satisfied in the end. How many different grits are you using? (i ask because you mentioned...

Thanks for your replies, i appreciate that.

Sandahl, i know my light setup is too dark. .As i said, i just wanted to experiment a little.
But thanks for the input. If you guys have some recommendation for some good lights, then i'd love to hear it.
