Hiatus is over (hopefully)

After trials and tribulations of life and relocating I decided to start making pipes again. I need the therapy and if I call pipe making therapy I truly need help. Here are the first four and also the first doing some blasts using a friends new cabinet. I know they need work but at least wanted to get a start again. Please excuse the crappy pics:

Welcome back! As a pretty new member I have seen numerous posts of yours while browsing the forum and had wondered where Boba Fett had wandered off to. I'm glad you're going to be part of the conversation again.

Those aren't bad looking pipes either.The first is my favorite. It's got some pretty nice looking ring grain. Good work.

Brandon, those look just like pipes a guy might see at a pipe shop. What more can I say?

And you're right - if you are making pipes to help cope with something..... what helps you cope with making pipes???

Kicking the dog seems to be moderately effective for me.

Not bad, Brandon. I especially like the canted dublin.

Thank you guys. Sas, that made my day buddy. It's good to be back. My dog kicks back.

PS I didn't say what part of the pipe shop.

Oh well there goes the day.

Haha, you always know just what to say, Sas.

Very nice pipes, you could put a brand name stem on them and nobody would ever know.

Well here are revised photos with logos and number in place:
