Years a pipe smoker: ... think about 5yrs or so, I was kinda off and on (couple times a year) for a while.
How you got into pipe making:
I am a bit picky about my own personal pipes. I like shapes that drop below the shank (pickaxes, cherrywoods, cutties etc), and spent a good month searching around of an inexpensive pipe (I was totally ignant about all things pipe related). I bought a black Chacom poker, but the stem has a nearly nonexistent button so it likes to try to fly out of your mouth. I decided to try making a pipe to my personal liking. - Doom! - Now I'm out in the 'shop' every day making dust.

Other interesting facts:
I keep VERY busy. I have a wife and two boys, work full time, own a Kung Fu school, make pipes and hand stitched fiddler caps and am currently working on developing video games. -- create, or go crazy.
