How you got into pipe making: restoring & selling estate pipes
Other interesting facts:
I have been involved in the restoration & repair of estate pipes for 10 years firstly as a hobby & to increase my own collection & as a full time job for 3 years, I own & run a website called EstatePipeShop.co.uk & have for many years been wanting to start making my own pipes, I have a workshop at my home & have been involved with carpentry most of my life, I have been learning a lot from this forum already & from Chris Askwith's video's on youtube which have been a god send in me selecting some of the tools I was missing from the workshop, I do not know any pipe makers personally & apart from Chris who lives in the UK but about 250 miles away, they are very rare here in the UK, so as said thank god for forums & youtube & the people who will share there advice
I am a passionate old English pipe smoker & this is where I hope to start, I look forward to posting & thank everyone in advance for any advice & help
