Great job!

Alternative stem inlay materials
I've made two pipes with shank extensions now using "leftovers" from failed pipes (ie cutting trim rings from a damaged vulcanite stem). I have a couple of deer antlers, but haven't tried using them yet - but I found a nifty source for materials! Crusing ebay for pen making supplies, I fou...

Selling supplies is still in the works. I am likely going to have some Vulcanit in the next 6-8 weeks, and it will likely be a few months after that for briar. In other words, it will be a while, but I am still very active in pursuing the supply venture. Great! I'm ready to score a bit of vulcanite...

If I turn them to optimal shape, length, etc... it invariably fits loose when I finish smooting and polishing the thing.

I'm with Random - the entire process is difficult! Luckily I found this site prior to making my first pipe, so learning was made quite a bit easier due to this wonderful resource! I've only made 7 pipes, but I'm still having the same major problem (and it's really starting to p*** me off! I invariab...

I've been making pipes purely for my own smoking enjoyment, and the pleasure I get in working with the briar. I have no plans to ever sell any pipes, although I may (and probably will) give away a few to friends. I started doing this just to see if I could, and while I'm happy with my results, I hav...
