howdy, im new to the forum, and just wanted to say hello. i have made 2 pipes thus far, and im working on a 3rd. my first was sort of a bent style. i'll have to get a picture as i have yet to try and classify the shape. my second was a strange pipe for a friend. its a non traditional shape with a fat bowl, and a curved stem, and the bowl has a carved ear, and the tobacco chamber is in the ear hole. dont ask, lol. the 3rd im woking on is another sort of unique design thats a crecent moon style shape, but im still working it. typically, because of cost i work with local woods, and both my pipes have smoked well, much to my surprise, lol. up untill last night i did ALL my work with a battery powered dremel, and i borrowed a drill to start the bowls, but still had to grind out the size... anywho. i'll post pics when i get a few, but im glad to be on the forums and hope to learn much

Welcome!

Welcome mathclub!!

thank you for the welcome. im glad to be in the presence of so many talented craftsmen and women, as well as the many aspiring pipe makers out there, like myself. i look forward to learning all that i can from the many, many years of collected knowledge on this forum. i also want to thank all the hardcore pipe makers who take the time to teach those of lesser years and/or skill. having been a teacher of sorts in my previous profession, i know that the level of patience you must posses is legendary, to keep up with all the questions you must receive.

i need to stop being lazy and finish up pipe 3 lol
