Tmswell - Bay Area, CA

Post by tmswell »

Real name: Tyler Stebbins
Age:28
Location: Campbell, CA (Santa Cruz, CA is home town)
Years a pipe smoker: 2
How you got into pipe making: While backpacking through Big Sur, a friend introduced me and I thought... this is pretty great and... I want to make one of these. 25 pipes later.... here I am.
Other interesting facts: Big gear head -- I enjoy motorcycles, currently riding a Triumph Bonneville T120, I'm a BMW CCA member, a competitive (natural) bodybuilder, and truly enjoying this humbling journey of pipe making.

Working on a better site, for now, using Etsy and have quite a few on the bench i'll post for critique.

Welcome.
When I was last in Big Sur, I was smoking Luckys at about $2.50 a carton from the PX (1964).:)
