I've been into pipes for a while and what usually happens is whatever I happen to be into at the moment I end up creating one or learning how to maintain, modify, etc. Happened with guitars, guns, cars, smokers/grills, ammunition, wood turning, if I love it then it becomes what I do. I got a few pipe kits from Pimo probably like 15 years ago and never gotten around to cutting them...I'm sure I'll run into them when I get to cleaning out my garage again haaha. But I purchased a few more just recently from Vermont, I guess Pimo turned into Vermont Freehand. They're nice large chunks of plateau and I hope they cut out to be clean. I've been in the fabrication business for most of my life. I turn wood, build furniture, urethane paints, RTV, composites, cold casting, welding, machining...the job I had for most my life to make stuff. It was badass!
I like unique pipes and currently my liking is larger pipes. The largest pipes I have is a Wiley freehand and a Boswell reverse plateau. I want to make a large pipe, my vision is a Poker/Cherrywood that's the size of a soda can. I have tools, just have to fashion the thing. I do have questions about these larger pipes and why they work the way they do, but that's for topics to post.
I want to thank the admins for accepting my request to join, thank everyone for their posts that I am going to learn from and I hope to be able to contribute something useful here some day.
If you're in the Los Angeles are and you want to shoot some clays, or talk pipes please contact me!
