how did you get into pipe making.
well i had a heart attack in july 2015 and was looking around for a new hobby besides the 50 other hobbies.
and ran across u tube videos of people making pipes. so i bought some wood from vt freehand.
i have made 2 pipes so far. and have 4 pc's comming. i love working on wood.
other interesting facts.
well i take hotwheel cars and redesign them. open doors. hoods. trunks. and designed a turning front end for these 1/64th scale cars. and a lot more goes into it.
collect stamps - coins - fish- hand carve in wood - paint on saw blades - paint on glass -draw pics - and hand carve walking sticks. and many more hobbies.
thanks for letting me in. i love to learn new stuff. :raishand:

Welcome!

With all those hobbies going on, it sounds like pipe making will fit right in. Do you plan to start smoking pipes as well?
