How to respond to qestions from the general public...

There's about three things I won't share. And I mean I won't share them with anyone. It took me months to figure them out and I'm not giving that shit up easy. None of them have to do with how I finish my pipes. But none of it is rocket science and could be figured out if anyone had the time and inclination.

I do know a few secrets from other makers. I don't share those either.

Dammit now I want to know what these 3 are about

I must remain mysterious

I think the biggest barrier to making good, high quality pipes is really just the time, effort and willpower to figure it out. As some others have mentioned, there's really no chunk of information that can be related in a simple conversation that is uber valuable in and of itself because of this reason. That's why I don't think that educating people about general practices is much of an issue.

True. And just because you have the knowledge of how to do it, that doesn't mean you can.

That depends entirely on how skilled men are at listening to other people.

To answer the main question, I share openly depending on the person I'm speaking to, their level of knowledge, and how well I know them. There are very few things I won't share at all, though I do have one or two things like that.

You know nothing.
