Trolling the gun forums on facebook, i was a day late and dollar short on a 618 atlas, you know for stems, or small gun parts. I posted after sold and was sent a message by a 3rd party selling a 10x36 atlas for $550. This beast won't fit in my garage. I think if someone is local, HAS ROOM, and if th...

Real name: Sam Smerkol Age: 33 Location: Pittsburgh Years a pipe smoker:15+ How you got into pipe making: I don't have the usual I wanted to make pipes because I couldn't afford them. Not that I can afford 5% of most pipes I want, but by spending time at Smokers Haven. I am a cigar rep, Premal's sto...

John is great people, and will most likely man whatever we are doing in at the Chicago show this year, my baby boy being born sometime late April is most likely going to keep me from it

What the above poster said is absolutely correct. Craigslist Michigan has a lot of lathes. A lot of people that had factory jobs had hobby lathes at home it would appear. I cover Michigan for work, I'm always checking craigslist for tools up there. A quick check in the Detroit area has 4-5 lathes su...

If you're on Facebook shoot John Hart Drew Estate a message, he is my coworker, and our rep up there. He lives in NH, and can tell you the best spot to go for whatever you're looking for.

Thanks guys, I'm sure more questions will arise from this. It is supposed to land Friday, hopefully I can set up this weekend

Has anyone that runs a Grizzly, or similar Chinese lathe installed the A2Z quick change toolpost? I broke down and ordered one the other day, along with all the other crap to mount it. Premal only recommended it a year and a half ago, I guess it's time. Now I am kinda fretting it's arrival. I know a...

I kinda want to see the upside down Santa hat pick axe nose warmer, but it MUST HAVE A FUZZY BALL but yeah they dinosaur will work too

Hello Jeremiah; How to create interest in your pipes? Do pipe shows. Go to pipe clubs that are within driving distance. Get active on pipe collector forums. Honestly you do not want hype! What you should be looking for is serious interest from buyers / collectors. Hype lasts a short time. Todays ho...

Drewestatesam, you little bastard! I didnt know you were on this forum. Ive been thinking about this subject since your condensed text saying the same thing. My website has been up for two weeks and I have had a pipe sale, a pending sale, And two commission requests in the last two days. It really ...

Exposure is key, marketing is key. You need to build a hype, and demand around your products. Social media is the cheap free way to go about this. I've bought pipes from Joe and Micah. Both make a great product that warrants a higher price tag than I paid, and I paid what they were asking for them....

Only in Denmark would pipes make local tv, I was waiting to hear from the chef, until I remembered it was in Danish not Swedish

The uneven stain stuck out for me more than the stem. I acquire a lot of pipes, as some of the people on the forum can attest. I (from a customer standpoint) dig the stem, it's different from what you usually see. I know if might not be what you're gunning for making it, but I like the looks of the ...
