How you got into pipe making: Just looking into it right now.
Other interesting facts: I am a Rad Davis and Stephen Downie collector who is looking to try his hand an pipe making. Mostly for myself more so than trying to sell them. I am currently researching the tools I think I'll need and will start a thread on that once my list is put together. From a creative perspective, my wife and I make 3D cakes, so hopefully something can transfer over into pipe making. Good to be here, and I look forward to learning!

We can look forward to this sort of thing, then.

Hey! Where in Minnesota are you? You can come visit me sometime and use my shop. I'll be happy to show you a few techniques. I'll be moving to Zimmerman in a few weeks.

Southeastern. About 3 hours from Zimmerman. I appreciate the offer!

If your serious go visit Jeremia. You won't regret it!!!

I don't charge anything for people to visit my shop for a day, and there's a fair chance you'll get a home cooked meal and a good beer and baccy for your pipe when you visit. Stop by my table in Chicago, though. I'd live to meet another aspiring pipe maker in Minnesota. Rich Lewis has a shop downtown Minneapolis. You can also visit him. He was helpful in showing me some tools and tricks early on, and he's been at it for a few decades.

Jeremiah,
Once I get my feet wet, a visit may be in order. I will for sure stop by your table at the show and say hi.

Looking forward to it.
