I think the best thing you could do is practice and get better on the disk sander--far, far quicker and much more efficient.

Dave

I agree--Absolutely exquisite.

See the hawaii'n behind her? That's Jaden Hew-Len (jhl808 on this site). He and I shared a table behind Nanna.

I wondered if that was Jaden!

Did it help or hurt business? It would be difficult to concentrate on selling pipes! LOL!

@Frank--I'm checking ticket prices now!

LOL! Good one!

I had no idea Nanna Ivarrson is such a doll!

<SNIP>... I've been inspired by elements in other pipe maker's work. Creation does not happen in a vacuum. <SNIP> Exactly... I used to have pictures of pipes that I like on the walls in my shop. Not anymore, I took them down, everyone of them. In fact I make it a point not to have any pictures of p...

I think you should be annoyed... And I'll also say that I have copied in the past--out of ignorance. I sent some pictures of my work to Larry Roush and he responded "Ok, where's YOUR work--I see Ivarsson and Wolfgang Becker but I don't see David Brooks". That stung but I'll be forever grat...

Jaden those look really nice. I really like how you oriented the grain and birdseye--that suits the shape really well. Reverse tapered shanks are the bomb!

Best,
Dave

Thanks Kurt! My hope is by showing the pipe I'm putting in the hat more people will join in--hopefully it doesn't drive them off!

Cutoff date... I'm not sure. New Year's day or maybe a week after?

Boy Dave, you're setting the bar pretty high. Nice pipe :thumb: Best Regards, Steve Thanks Steve--I just want someone to have a nice pipe--I let the slot get a little tall on this one so the bit ended up thicker than I wanted so whoever gets it may not like it anyway (I think it's like .180 or so) ...

Please put my name into the hat. This is the pipe I'll throw in;

Dave, It's actually a members/invitation only board, so that's not really possible. Suffice it to say that he either knows what he's talking about, or is a raving lunatic who by chance happened to string together BS giving it the appearance of coherence. :) JG Thanks Jeff, Dave--who dreams of somed...

I would love to read the post you're talking about... can someone post which board it was posted on and which section? Many thanks.

Dave

I would say that he has a style and it is his own, which is more than I can say for myself. Once you're past engineering and fit and finish, finding YOUR style IS the key. That's my $.02.

Dave

I don't know why it isn't working for you Dan. I just highlight the address, hit Ctrl C (shortcut for "cut") and then paste it into my post using Ctrl V (shortcut for "paste")--I don't use the URL tags--I just paste the link right into the text. Anyway, congrats again on what wil...

I posted the link in the General section yesterday with a congrats. I deleted it after I saw you making a post about it--I figured you wanted to make the announcement yourself. Hope this helps. http://cgi.ebay.com/GABRIELI-by-DAN-CHLEBOVE-SPECTACULAR-BRAND-NEW-NR_W0QQitemZ5452356028QQcategoryZ596QQr...

I think Love has a pantograph (engraver)--very nice and clean way to mark your work.

I like them both Rad--Congrats on them! Your shapes always do a great job of showing off the birdseye.

Dave

Dan that is beautiful! Grain, shape, color, bamboo and stem! WOW! Is this the one that has the water buffalo horn stem?

It came out great Nick--definetly worth the stem Oddyesee. I had one like that awhile back that laid on my bench for months however, not a happy ending.
