Real name: Nick Ramaekers
Age: 27
Location: Belgium
Years a pipe smoker: 5
How you got into pipe making:
A few months after taking up pipesmoking I decided that rather then spend €150 on a good second pipe, I'd take my chances at making my own in a rather silly "I can do that!" moment.
5 years later I'm still not really sure I actually can, but I've been making & selling pipes on and off whenever I find the time, but I'm loving it and it's a great excuse to buy new tools! ("this hobby pays for itself!")
Other interesting facts:
I'm a married man and father of a (nearly) 3year old boy. My daytime job is in IT-consultancy (java/web programming).
Besides pipemaking/smoking I'm also into hiking/camping, snowboarding and reptiles, but my true passion is underwater hockey! (which is rather conflicting with pipesmoking as you need every bit of lung you have)
Other than being a member on this forum, I'm also one of the admins over at the Dutch/Flemish pipesmokers forum at http://www.pijprokersforum.nl
