My pipes

[bondarev]

Hello!

My name is Alexandr, I live in St. Petersburg, Russia. I make pipes not long time - since 2011. It's my hobby, my occupation is web-programming.

Will be glad to get your critique.

Good work and welcome!

Nice work and welcome!

Very nice work! Only two suggestions: 1) sand your tobacco chambers better if you're going to leave them natural and, 2) your buttons are too thin. They look very comfortable and elegant and some may say they are fine but consider how a thin button like that is going to hold up over a half century or so. A couple buffs and it's gone. Just something to consider.

What Wayne said and wow! You make pipes! John!

1) sand your tobacco chambers better if you're going to leave them natural

Never thought it's important. Ok, I will send. Thanx for advice!

2) your buttons are too thin.

I have experimented to find ideal button shape, and found that button like boxing mouth guard is really comfortable.

but consider how a thin button like that is going to hold up over a half century or so. A couple buffs and it's gone.

Ok, I will make them a bit more massive.

Nice work. Look forward to seeing more.
