WOW! That is awesome, Jack! Makes my dirty old 200 look like scrap! Looks better than new! Congrats!

with the pricing; i can do 2 rods. maybe 3 if there is a slight break in price with the bulk order.

I'm in; depending on what our minimums will be. I could use a few rods.

I was the good looking one! ROFL!! I just knew these would turn out friggin' great! Some wonderful pipes, man. Love the stem work. And you did one heck of a job with the blasts. Congrats on selling them, too! As far as the tampers .... all it takes is a great piece of work .... and a lot of folks ta...

That's an absolutely great blast, too! Did you blast at Chicago as well? Heya Kurt. Yeah. Kirk Bosi brought his whole blasting set-up to the seminar! It was the first time I had used one. I am in love with it now! The sad part is knowing how much money I've spent before I even start looking!! :shoc...

You had the pipe in Chicago? Damn. I would have liked to see that in person. You should have brought it to the seminar Wednesday or Thursday. :evil: Got a pic at least? LOL!! Gunnar, I had the pipe in the seminar BOTH days! Even had it sitting out on the table almost all day Thursday! LOL! See what...

Thanks, Kim! It was so much fun and the critiques from so many great makers just made a world of difference! I can't wait to dig into that briar you sent me!!

I attended the pipe making seminar at this year's show; and had a 'blast'! Kirk and Brian were great to have as instructors; and the A-listers who stopped by over the two days was very exciting! Teddy Knudson, Jeff Gracik, Alex Florov, Brad Pohlmann, and the list goes on. Brad gets an extra large th...

Your a great guy to check out pipes with in 3 in the morning. hit me up sometime... the_apjames@yahoo.com thanks man! i had a blast! we stayed up WAY too late!! i was wiped out. i'll certainly be ...

Just fantastic work, Love! Your attention to detail and artistic flair is just great. Thank you for sharing!!

This new guy will be there for the seminar and half a day Friday. Got to get back for a Scout camping trip; but I hope to meet some of you before I head out!

Actually, I prefer the first stem - believe it or not. It's got a nice short round part before it goes to a saddle, and that really seems to work best on this pipe. Honestly, I almost didn't even mention the stem. ROFL! Of course you do! As soon as I cut down the 1st one!!! ROFL!! I kind of like it...

Is this stem a little better?

Thanks, Kurt. Really having fun with this one. I'll have that epoxy residual all off for the finish. I'm having trouble with making a simple rounded or straight angled finish that you're referring to. I'm kind of stumped on how that is turned and sanded just right. I like that look a lot, but can't ...

What do you think? Still needs buffed and waxed. I'll throw on a couple pics after that tonight.

Thanks all. With a little touch up around the stem and stem/shank junction; she's ready to roll. I think this will be the first one I'm going to try a bowl coating on. I'll give it a go this afternoon and post a couple pics of the results.

Here's is my latest pipe venture. A great friend of mine has been really wanting me to make him a pipe to run through testing and add to his rotation. I had told him I would love to do it at some point, but didn't know when I would get to it. I was speaking to him a couple nights ago about what shap...

That would be the one. Never been and don't know what to expect; but I'm going to make the most of the opportunity to make a couple pipes and make some new friends!!

The dates are Apr 29th & 30th. I think it's limited to 12 people?

Is anybody out there planning on attending the pipemakers seminar this year? Brian Ruthenberg, Kirk Bosi, Alex Florov, and Ed Jurkiewicz so far will be the teachers with other pipemakers possibly showing up to help. Last year Teddy Knudsen, and others showed up and also helped with the seminar. I th...
