Real name: Nate Thallas
Age:24
Location: Iowa
Years a pipe smoker: 3
How you got into pipe making: I've always been into woodcraft (blame the Boy Scouts), and one day decided to try my hand at pipe-making.
Other interesting facts: I'm a paramedic by trade, so I'm always looking for a good time-killer. My other hobbies include body-building, reading (former literature major), varmint hunting, and occasional forays into amateur pyrotechnics (words to make a wise man run).
I do all my carving and finishing with very basic tools (rasp, Buck knife, an old sock for buffing), and generally use whatever wood I have at hand. Thankfully, a friend runs a woodworking shop and gives me his scraps
I'm not in it for money or fame, just for the simple pleasure of making and smoking pipes that bear my labors. I look forward to learning much, and further honing my beginner-level skills. I'm sure most of my attempts will be crude (at best) and quite possibly humorous. Pleased to meet you all, and let 'er rip!
