Hello from Germany

[Dirk_H]

Hello,

my name is Dirk. I am 32 years old and I am on my way to run my own business as a furniture/product designer. I hope that pipemaking will be a part of that.
I started making pipes around 4 years ago, but had really very little time for it.
In my youth I have learned joinery, what helps a little to handle the machines.
I am living in a small village near Hannover where I have my workshop on my parents farm.

Some members may know me from the german "Pfeife&Tabak" forum as Melmoth.
I hope I can get, and maybe give, some informations about pipemaking.

Greetings,

Dirk.

p.s.: some of my pipes can be seen here: http://pipemaker.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0

Hello Flix,

thank's for your welcome. I hope to become a real member of the gang. Some pipes can be seen on the link below my first post, but later I will post some pictures in the gallery here.

My favorite part of foreign countries is always the countryside!


Hello Dirk!

Thank you very much for all the nice welcomes!!
I am feeling already very well here.
And I agree, the countryside is usually the best part of a country.

I wish you a relaxing sunday...
