Hello everyone thank you for adding me to the forum. I have been a pipe smoker for two years and just recently started making pipes. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and soaking in all your advice. My real name is Kyle and I live in lower Deleware. Once again thank you and don’t hesi...

I like the analogy of developing “a language”. Thank you. I will show as it evolves.

Okay, you're starting to develop a language, here. Ala Henry Moore. Now the truck is to make the whole block speak the same dialect. That square 'window' on the top is decidedly speaking Greek.... Sent from my bloopty-bloop, using hooty-hoo. Yes, the square will not remain a square, it is starting ...

So far. I’ve afforded myself the luxury of a rotary tool this time. I love the ability now to visualize shape and realize it in time before I lose the idea and mess it up a few weeks/months later. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200517/a07a4c2792861ac63a63b291d3ee1844.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk...

I’m trying to get an idea of what you’re going for by looking at your sketching, but I’m not seeing it. What would you say your overall goal is? Are you wanting to have a block (displaying the plateaux) with a stem that is smokable? Are you going for any particular shape? What kind of tooling are y...

Bulldog/Rhodesian it is! So..... Carver's choice bulldog/Rhodesian? or will we go with a reference? Sent from my bloopty-bloop, using hooty-hoo. Carver’s choice. I’ll make a blueprint bulldog/Rhodesian for fun if anyone also wants to try a shot at it and post the plans here. If only my “process” we...

I really really want to make the plateau the focus of the pipe’s form. I believe, from some years of experience, that good smokers are a product of decent drilling and an agreeable tobac. Perhaps a sculpture featuring plateau is what I shall pursue, not disregarding advice to the contrary, rather ta...

Me too, was too young to have had the chance when he passed away years ago.

“Think about making a smoking device that incorporates the plateau in an integrated design, rather than a sculpture that maximizes plateau.” ... thoughtful thoughts, that’s why I’m here and so glad I am. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, I will certainly take it into deep consideration. Sent from m...

This really is hard. Difficult and imaginatively challenging.

Not bad; especially considering your tooling limitations. My only suggestion is to put a slight bend in the stem and it looks like you got yourself a pretty good smoker. Thanks, wdteipen. Now that you mention it, I believe the kit for this I bought from VF was indeed meant for a bent. I will resear...

can you log in to the forum from an actual computer? might go easier that way....

I used a laptop yesterday and it made a very big difference.
