I guess I better introduce myself too...

Post by Sasquatch »

I'm the fuckin Sasquatch. :thumbsup:



I guess for the new guys and those from the outside wide world I'll post a little info here. I think I started making pipes in 07 or 08. Thanks to the generous help of many on this board and a (very) few other places, within about 5 years I got to where I could make a half decent pipe. Pretty much hit that plateaux and stayed right there. I have studied much, thought much, practiced much. I think I know as much about wood and wood finishing as anyone here, and I think (incorrectly) I know more about briar than anybody here.

I make perfectly ordinary reasonably nice pipes. And it took me a lot of struggling to even be that bad. So when I criticize you, kick you, help you, cry with you... know that I have been there, and that largely, I still see myself as being there.
ALL YOUR PIPE ARE BELONG TO US!

You're largely there, wherever you go. ;)

I didn't know crying with us was an option. Can we organize this as a group event in Chicago ? Maybe we can get some tent space Friday night.

They used to have a Pipemakers meeting at the Chicago show back in the day... All of the pipemakers would get together and cry about the state of things :lol:

I'm not sure what year they stopped doing this, but this photo is from 2002

I was at the Vegas show this year, and I assure you there were a lot of pipemakers hanging out together, and yes they were still crying about the state of things.
