If i can get around to it this weekend i will try and post a few pics...the funny thing about it I bought a $30 basket pipe till this pipe was done and my pipe smokes nicer...no shi'!

my cousins wife said it looked like E.T. from behind

I will try to get some pics posted...don't laugh!

Cool thanks guys....my first bowl kind of looks like an alien head but i love it. I definitely have a lot to learn, but for my first pipe it doesn't look all that bad.

I just finished my first pipe ever...did the trimming on a band saw and finished the rest on a beltsander. Does anybody here work there pipes on a beltsander. The pipe looks good to me as it is my first pipe. There are a lot of things that I need to improve on...just curious to know if anyone has an...

Awesome...thanks for the pointers. Hope it turns out....when I finish it I will post some pick of it so you guys can rip it to shreds

So would it be wise to cut the briar down with my bandsaw? (This is new to me so I don't squat about pipe making...)

Cool...thanks guys!

Hey guys...what is the best way to round out the shank? In the Pimo book they say for your first pipe to make a squared shape pipe...I received a round stem with my kit? Looks like I will be attempting a rounded shape pipe...

Damn...I got ripped! I paid $6.49 for a 50g tin. O'well you live and learn!

Thanks for the website too....

I just got three new tobacco's in the mail on Friday: Dunhill 965, Frog Morton and Frog Morton-Across the Pond. I would have to say I like Across the Pond the best. It has a hint of spice flavor to it. It was a pleasant smoke to the last puff. This will definitely be on hand for a while. I have not ...

Well I hope that I am able to produce saleable pipes as well some day. I have never worked with wood but do pick up on things very easily. I love art and think this will be a fun project.

I think it should be an image with that statue of the guy thinking (i think it is called the "Thinker" :dunno: ....the one where the guy is sitting and resting his head on his hand). Anyway the shirt could have that statue with a pipe in his mouth and at the bottom it could read "The ...

So Random....you sculpt all your pipes from a Dremel and files? I was looking at your pipes....very nice! Did it take you a while to turn out some good pipes using this method?

Damn you guys are the greatest...I am glad to know that not have lathe is not that big of a deal. I like the looks of that sander and never thought about a Dremel. Cool...I will post it when it is finished. Thanks again everybody!

I just got my pipe kit...I was wondering if it would be smart to do more of a squared body first? I don't have a lathe and have never used one to turn out a rounded pipe. Can you shape pipe on a drill press?

Yeah...I just ordered some Dunhill 965, Frog Morton and Frog Morton Across the pond from smokingpipes.com....should be coming this Friday. I can't fricken wait...I like the Early Morning Pipe but feel it is too mild for an afternoon/midday smoke.

Thanks Jeff...I found the Frog Morton which I can't wait to try.

My brother's wifes aunt lives in Sweden...maybe she could find some for me...who knows.

Congrats and thanks for such an awesome website. And thanks everybody for being so friendly. Tyler you are King Pimp!

Where can I buy these online...?

I am not sure what brand it is...I know it was made in Italy. The guy that sold it to me was not sure what brand it was...he said the owner typically gets pretty decent basket pipes. One of the regulars thought maybe it was a off brand by Savinelli.
