Hallo Bryan !
I have to admit that my pronounciation is not like an actor, but I am working with my hands and not with my tongue

Greetings David

Hallo Nick! Thanks for your words. Next week I have a date with a newspaper "European Cigar Journal"

Dear Pipefriend! There is a small TV film about me as a pipemaker, but it is in German only. You can see the film on the TV sation's homepage www.ts1.at link: "Philosophie Pfeife - Der Pfeifenmacher" or direct link on my homapage http://www.baff.cc/images/medien/pfeifenmacher.mov The film ...

[quote="magruder"]Most guys I know love a narrow slot :wink: Thin bits are very comfortable to me and I think many poeple agree. What are your thoughts on the thin bits? Hallo Steve! I like thin bits too, but for my taste 2 mm is narrow enough for a thin bite, smaller slots I do not like. ...

Hello!

It seems to me that some of you are interested in drilling a slot as narrow as possible (1,5 mm). What is the benefit of such a small slot?

Here in Europe you rarely get pipe cleaners which fit such a narrow slot.

Hallo Mike!
"Komet" is just German for "comet"

Hallo Kurt!

The shape reminds me of the star of bethlehem
The shank is the tail of the comet.

Hallo Jeff!

Now I've got you. I have to think about this and do a little calculation.
Will post my result here later.

What about you other guys?

Hallo! I think we do not ecactely know what we are discussing, so I set up a drawing. I want to discuss only section A. Relationship between airhole diameter in section A and bite thickness in section a. Maenz has very thin bites, about 3 to 3,2 Millimeters, so the drilliing can't be more than 1.8 o...

Hallo! My name is David Wagner. I am a pipemaker from Autria (www.baff.cc). I do a lot of testing to find out a good combination of airhole, tobacco chamber and bite to provide good smoking conditions. Many pipemakers drill their pipes (without filter) in the shank about 3,7 mm and within the mouthp...
