Greetings, Learned how to make this from Paul Perri: http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/PipeMakingTools003.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/PipeMakingTools004.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/PeterADallSrPipe001.jpg Bar stock aluminum, mach...

I feel about "E" cigs, cigars and pipes the same way I feel about electric cars and motorcycles: NOT interested and NEVER will be interested. Ever. I love internal combustion when it comes to my pipe or motor vehicle, especially motorcycles. I guess I'm just old school. Or just old. CACooper

Been smokin' the "F" pipe for a couple of weeks now and it smokes pretty darn good! It is a tortured soul, though. I ended up dropping it and SNAP went the tenon!. Unfazed, I fitted it with a Delrin tenon so that won't happen again. Now I really don't have to worry about damaging it and be...

Greetings all, Just finished this bent Dublin. Beautiful, virtually flawless, crosscut grain w/ very nice birdseye. Generous bowl size. Genuine exotic Kingwood trim w/ black acrylic saddle stem. AA grade. $175.00 Available at http://www.pipeandpouch.com/cooperpipecp31.html http://i582.photobucket.co...

I did try to fill the holes, but the one on the bottom was too big, even for rustication. So I just ignored them, finishing the pipe smooth and let the flaws show in all their glory. I figured with so many holes and cracks in it, the first dent won't matter. It will make a good shop or yard pipe. No...

Greetings all, Recently finished a few. Saddle stem Bulldog w/ faux horn trim. The horn is a new acrylic from PME. Pretty convincing and doesn't shrink and split over time: http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/CooperPipeCP-29002.jpg Next is a long shank Dublin w/ faux "briar"...

Greetings, Living in the Denver, Colorado area, winters are "mild" (compared to Minot, ND I guess), but it does get very cold at night. My workshop is an insulated, single stall garage, about 12ft. X 20ft. with a 10 ft. ceiling. http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/BillColeP...

Here's my setup, suggested Paul Perri. http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/PipeMakingTools003.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/PipeMakingTools004.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/PeterADallSrPipe001.jpg Machined cone in the end of aluminium ...

Thanks for your comments! Yeah, the photo came out a little too red. It's actually quite a bit darker. Still red, though. The lack of comments may be the result of my chiming in on the "Che" dedicated pipe on another thread. A snub? I dunno. I hope not. :( The last thing I want to do is ti...

Greetings all, This one languished on the bench for several months. Finally finished it. The "horn" trim is a new acrylic rod from PME. It's kind of soft compared to lucite, but is a fair representation of the real thing. No, and I'm NOT dedicating it to anyone. :wink: http://i582.photobuc...

You fellers must have gone to a big skrool. I'm still looking thru my dikshunary to find out what your big werdz mean. Wow. That's some writin'.

On the issue of Darth Vader, evil is as evil does.

Other than that, it's just a movie.

Oh, I forgot. Blame America first. Got it. I stand corrected. I'm starting work on my Klu Klux Klan commemorative set of pipes. Hey, the Klan had some great ideas in the beginning. Then they got a bad rep. Depends on your point of view or who is writing the history, eh? Good day gents. Keep makin' t...

Saw this on a T-shirt.



Perfect.

Question: Very nice pipe, but why on earth would you want to "dedicate" it to a murderous monster like Che Guevara? Might as well dedicate a pipe to Adolf Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, etc. Seriously, read up on history. Here's an interesting bio to get you started: http://www.s...

Greetings, Something like this, perhaps? http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss264/cacooper9/TheBlandingsCollection002.jpg I use 1 inch thick blue insulation foam (available at Lowe's), traced the pipes where I wanted them, then cut the foam with a Woodland Scenics hot wire foam cutter (available at ...

Simeon,

Beautiful! Great work. Super piece of wood. If you haven't sold it by the next League meeting, please bring it. I'd love to see it person.

Greetings all, I'm booked and am assigned table 62. My dad and I are driving out from Denver Friday. About 12 or so hours. I'd rather drive than fly. No TSA peeping or groping. :filth-n-foul: Plus, I can smoke on the way! A win-win. :mrgreen: See you all there! Craig A. Cooper Cooper Pipes http://ww...

Hi Kim, I'm driving out from Denver on Friday. I'm assigned table 62. Please stop by for a chat. Looking forward to meeting you. I'll try to get around to other tables, as this trip is more of a meet 'n greet for me. I've been to several shows in the past, but this is the first time as an exibitor. ...

Greetings, I drove from Denver to Phoenix last week (900 miles, 16 hrs - whew!). While there, I stopped by Ye Olde Pipe and Tobacco Shoppe and met Mr. Markle. He brought this pipe with him. I was able to hold this pipe in my hands and inspect it closely. I must say, it's beautiful! The bamboo shank ...
