Gerry P. here. Hello!

Real name: Gerry Pendry
Age: 52
Location: Arabi, LA
Years a pipe smoker: Off and on since 1989, got back into it enthusiastically a couple years ago.
How you got into pipe making: I bought a kit last year, had fun making a pipe with it, and was pretty happy with the result. Recently made another, liked this result better, and decided to make pipe making a regular thing. No commercial pipe making aspirations, just for fun.
Other interesting facts: I was lucky enough to retire 9 years ago. I left the Washington, D.C. area (MoCo MD), and moved to New Orleans in 2011. I majored in Criminal Justice at the U of MD, but for my first year I was a music major/trumpet player in the orchestra and wind ensemble.
My first pipe projects were done without electrical tools except for when I applied carnauba wax with a Dremel first, then a buffing machine for the second pipe. I'll have a drill press for the next one, or maybe a lathe.
