Real name: Peter
Age: 40
Location: Eastern Pennsylvania
Years a pipe smoker: Four or five
How you got into pipe making: I don't make pipes. I like to fix old ones. I see a lot of similarities between making pipes, fixing them and restoration. Honestly, I'm tired of screwing up and destroying old pipes. I have tons of them that need work and I'd like to hone my skills. I'm beginning to notice finer details that need attention like out of square shank to stem connections that are driving me mad. I am a hobbyist but my ocd requires that I find better ways to do things. I see there is a lot of knowledge and experience on here. I have oodles of questions.
Other interesting facts: Colonies of ants fascinate me and I very much enjoy fly fishing.
