Something about me. I'm really new to pipe smoking and specially to pipe making. I'm a musician from sweden now living in germany. I do have the tendency to try to make the things I need myself. I don't know why but I guess it's the thrill of being able to be sort of "selfsupporting" or something. I have been lurking around this forum for a few months now and I have to tell you how thankful I am. I've learnt so much, and still am, from just looking around at this forum. It's really amazing that a forum like this exists. Where people share all there knowledge and secrets without even getting payed for it. Kinda gives me hopes for the future...
So, this pipe pictured here(if it works...) is my first pipe. It's from a pre drilled block and I just shaped it. After this pipe I started drilling my own pipes. Although I still use pre molded stems (waiting for a shipment of rods now to try to start making my own stems). I use a drill press and sanding disc. Want to try out a lathe but I guess it will have to wait until I have more money. I would like to have honest, and in someways, harsh comments since I am aiming to be a professional pipe maker someday.
Thank you guys for all the info I get from this site!
keep going, nice pipes...
