Real name: Christopher Severt, usually go by Chris though
Age: 39
Location: Celina, Ohio, USA
Years a pipe smoker: Occasionally - 15 years or so, but have had a pipe glued in my mouth for for 7 or 8 years
How you got into pipe making: (about 4 years ago) I was tired of the quality per cost of some factory pipes, thought I could make something at least as good. Read and read, and read some more on here and other places. After learning what I could without a block in my hand, I bought a cheap drill press, some bits and briar and got to work. Those first ones were terrible, but I liked it. I then bought a cheap wood lathe, and have been gradually building my tooling and honing my skills ever since.
Other interesting facts: What does one say about himself really? You buy me a pint of Guinness or a cheap bourbon and I'll tell you all you wanna know
