Re: AdamCordray
I retired from 30 yrs of Nursing. Have been making pipes for over 50 yrs and Doc is right , some techniques are vastly improved. I pretty much was taught the new school and make a lot of 9mm pipes only of high quality materials. Welcome to a wonderful world of many, varied techniques.
