today I would like to present a 'pipe line' to you I call 'Shorty'. There is nothing inventive about this as it has been done before but they are simply fun to make (- and also to have obviously since I could sell more than I can make at the moment ).
heheheheheh.. our dear Walle.... i am a big fan of his ideas.... maybe that is why i like those two you just made... those short pipes and the ones that tend to sit on chin are something i like a lot...
"URTEILE NICHT ÜBER DINGE, VON DENEN DU NUR ECHO UND SCHATTEN KENNST !"
Although even other pipemakers tend to buy (or rather trade) these li'll stumpies, like this guy for instance
I've been trying to think of a nickname for Roger, and I believe you've nailed it . . . L'il Stumpy! Genius, Steffen, genius! You look very dapper in your spectacles smoking your tiny pipe, L'il Stumpy.
Uuuum . . . the frightful reality of what you've just said may have gotten lost in translation, but if you insist upon what you wrote above, I am no longer coming to Germany! We actually have laws against that sort of thing in the US . . . unless it's consensual, which in this case IT IS NOT!
in order to steer attention back to short pipes again here are some more Shorties for your mockery...
First...
...second...
...darn spots! This last one was especially fun to make doing this extreme reduction with the chamber and the mortise drilling having the same size (19,7 mm). This would theoretically allow one to smoke the pipe both ways (normal and chimney). The built in reamer in the tenon would then guarantee for an even cake in both tobacco chambers. It is also a good way of altering grain direction from straight to cross grain...
There are more pipes in the pipeline but for now: Fire away!
Best,
Steffen

I'm sorry, this pipe has already been sold to an artist in Austria .
Since I am new to the forum I have been giving a kind of overview of the pipes I have made so far, so not all pipes shown are still available ( in fact most of them are sold). But I will be presenting new ones in a short time...
Thanks for the compliment!
Best,
Steffen
