Haha. You're probably right

Then that's what I'll do! Thanks for the help. Maybe I'll see you guys in Chicago in several weeks. I'll be the fat guy with the beard.

Awesome. Thanks so much....So for this current pipe would you suggest resending to get wax off (Mr.Miyagi!!), restain, shellac, rewax?

Again thanks a lot for responses, fellas

Thanks. So let me ask this then...I used same stain and waxing process as before...So why hasn't this happened?

Hey guys. Just so you know my situation...I buy kits and solely make pipes for friends as gifts. So just looking for feedback on the most recent issue I had on my last pipe.. Gifted to a buddy and for some reason he's getting a yellow residue on his hands after he smokes. I've made probably 5 pipes ...

F yea bro!

I need to get more involved in the Chicago pipe scene. I'm a regular at Casa de Montecristo....no reason I can't hit up 8 to 8 for a meeting if it'd open to nonmembers.

I dig it for sure. Nice job. I can't offer critiques like the pros other than I'd smoke the shit out of that pipe.

I can't offer much feedback other than its much better than my first attempt....and second as well.

Dang. Must be an issue with Tapatalk

Pics aren't loading for me....anyone else have that issue?

Just ordered. Didn't order any extra belts though. Will pick those up in store next week sometime.

I'll probably buy it tomorrow. 25% off for mother's day. Lol

(That's what she said....) I'll check that one out! Price is right too!! Do you...

Real name: Paul Age: 30 Location: Chicago suburbs Years a pipe smoker: 5 How you got into pipe making: I'm extremely unhandy and thought my dad (who used to be a pipe smoker) would be impressed if I made him a pipe.
