This story, while sad, is completely true.
There was a time when every pipe I made had some blood embedded in it somewhere :thumb:alexanderfrese wrote: Use the tooth for some never-seen-before stem inlay made of bone?
Not that I know of...There's a saying here in Germany: Who is in trouble, doesn't have to wait for the mockery. Transscripted somewhat directly. Is there something similar in English?
Real artisans have endured flying stummels knocking lit pipes out of their teeth. Some of us have even been treated to sucking on the ends of stems as the flying stummel (or chisel, as the case may be) cleanly detaches the bowl from the stem and embeds it in the wall behind us. 8OArtGuy wrote:What a Nancy Boy.
