Sounds like an Uncle of mine..."Look at you stupid...go hold your head!!!"

In that case, I will have to troll and find someone newer than me to abuse for self worth enhancement...

Well said guys, well said...again without hearing the tone of my voice, etc. etc. youd never know if I was kidding or being a smartass newb... :wink: Im being sincere...I really enjoy this stuff and as Sas points out, if its not right, it wont sell, and selling is what we ultimately have to do to ke...

Maybe it should say "This IS my anger management" too!

Let me say this, in this most unperson-able format that constitutes a "message", which in no way imparts humor or sincerity the way we would rather it be presented. I hate that I can never tell who is being serious, funny, or helpful!! :oops: Wayne, thank you for your help and your advice ...

Youre a poet and dont know it... :lol: I understand marketing, and I believe a re saying that it should be as much a part of business planning as the business plan itself, its integral. I couldnt tell you where my pipes came from except the ones I have made and yours... Thats why I said if I can aff...

HOWEVER, That said...thanks for the insult buddy!!!! JK!!! I don't think you took my comment as an insult, and I believe you meant the above in good humor (based on the JK), but just to be safe: No insult was meant at all to you, or your pipes, I was just relating my very recent experience. (no nee...

Awesome man! Love the second one...the first one is nice, but I hate the bamboo trend right now...

My stamp, which is my avatar, was $50 plus $7 shipping for $57 total. Newcarver, If I may be so bold as to add more: this may or may not apply to you personally but it did for me.... lemme quote the Sas from a different thread on stamps: I think keeping it simple is the right way to go. There's not...

A 7/8" chamber is too big for such a narrow block. It would have worked out better if you drilled 3/4" then you would have had enough briar to turn it round. Also, the Dublin shape works best with a conical bowl so you'd need a cooresponding chamber bit. That block looks like it was plent...

Did overseas ship play into that amount a whole lot, or was that just stamp money?

I think it's a great pipe. Only concern I have is, how deep is that crack in photos 20006 and 20007. I know that's the wood, not your fault, but I'd be slightly afraid to smoke it if I thought it had a crack through the bowl wall. I appreciate it! The crack doesnt show on the inside of the bowl, if...

Without getting into ones personal business, how much do you guys find that stamps run pricewise on average with A&M?

I use a lathe to turn it to round, then use a chucked up sanding disk with around 120 grit to rough shape, then I mount on a dowel in a bench clamp and hand sand using 1/2" to 1" strips at 150,240,320,400,600. On this one I decided to go a bit further after 600 using the micro mesh series ...

Sutliffe Blend No.5 in an OoS #1103!

Just wanted to drop a line in about how it smokes! I pretty much smoked it all day the day after I got it. I ran through some Peterson Sunset Breeze with it. It smokes really nice! Smooth and free flowing with no whistles or gurgles, it smokes dry (which is a feat seeing how I slobber so much), and ...

Thanks Todd for the help and encouragement! What areas did you feel needed more sanding attention? The reason I ask is this thing was shiny smooth even before I buffed it! The only thing I can see is maybe the top of the bowl with the straight dark lines, but isnt that grain? This was the shiniest b...

Very nice man!

Oh crap! Was this the place to make intros??!? My bad!

"Hi my name is Eric, I like long walks in the park, sunset strolls..."

Oh wait (stooge noises) "nirk...nirk...nirk" "boink" "aooga aooga"

Yep it finally showed up! I was getting antsy! :evil: This would be my third (fourth if you count the pile of sawdust before this one :lol: ) briar pipe so far. I like short and stubbies, so that's what I did, it is a wee thing, roughly 4.5" long, 1.75" tall, by 1.25" at its widest po...
