He drilled the tobacco chamber with a spade bit no less.

Makes it look so simple, huh? Interesting use of calipers. His pipes are very elegant, clean, minimal. Different than USA, which seems to lean toward larger, thick walled, maybe clunky shapes in comparison.

What I thought was interesting was that it looked like he drilled the draft hole and guide hole for the bowl literally by hand. That must take for freakin ever!

His website popped up on ASP too. His stems are... different, that's the word.

Wow, beautiful pipes! I guess this means I can't complain about my lack of tooling anymore?

well, cheeky me

i asked michail about the shank and mortise procedure and he replied that this part of the process is not manual and quite complex. he considers (or the results of it) it as the point of difference and doesn't want to go into the details. fair enough too...

This may have been on the forum before, but here is another one that I found pretty inspirational:

Wow! Really interesting. Turns that tenon by eye, no calipers. Toaster oven to heat the stem for bending. Definately an experienced pipemaker.
