Hello, I am a new member of the forum, and a new adventurer in the world of pipe-making. I have made exactly one pipe, actually it is still in line for some modifications, and I would really rather like to do a hand-made stem for it; I will post a pic soon.
I have been nosing quietly around here, and it is a very nice forum. Looking at some of the pipes people have made, I am very impressed, and there is so much talent compressed into one forum! I have already learned much.
I probably had a few meets and greets with some of you at the Chicago show. Sorry, if I was overwhelmed.
