I wasn’t aware there was an actual work for that. Thank you for the advice, I do clench quite a bit, I like working with my hands while I smoke, but maybe this means I should go and buy a few more sitters. Lol

Absolutely, I apologize for the lighting, I don’t have the best place to take really nice photos other than outside. It’s a Willard, and that’s all I know about the specifics of the pipe, other than it was grandpa’s. Funny thing you mention burleys, this pipe I’ve used more as my non-aromatic...

Does anyone deal with excessive saliva when they smoke? I would love to use the pipe more often and honestly one of the reasons I don’t is due to the crazy amount of saliva I produce when enjoying a bowl. So much so, I have to use a “spitter” or be out in the grass to spit on the ground. Is...

I know this is an old post but I had a question. I was given my grandfathers old pipe from my dad and he told me it didn’t really smoke and was filthy but I could have it. I took the thing and realized it was threaded and not the mortise and tenon style. And there was this thing inside that...

I wanted to put some old gear to new/good use. I’ve got an old butt pack from my old military gear that I’ve ribbon threaded an old neoprene wader material I had into it. It allows me to carry 2-3 pipes and two mason/ball jars of tobacco. Very crude but also extremely cheap!

That’s a really neat set up. Congrats

Welcome!

Thought I would reply to this, more for my own view since late fall. Currently w/the children: The Magicians Nephew (Book 1 of the Chronicles of Narnia) by C.S. Lewis Currently my own reading: St. Thomas Aquinas by G.K. Chesterton Recently Finished w/the children: The Inheritance Cycle by...

Thank you, I've got a few more ideas for some fun ones. At to be clear, as you can see, I'm not drilling the holes, these are hobby blocks. Speaking of, does anyone have an idea what is going on with the hobby blocks or other materials? They've been out of stock for a while...

So I’ve really enjoyed carving my own pipes, not to sell really, just for fun. Got this one with an interesting plateau on it and wanted to incorporate that into the pipe. Whatcha think?

Welcome Capt, I’ve found this to be a most enjoyable site with some excellent folks and I’ve learned quite a bit having been pretty green in the ways of piping myself.

Nice looking pipe.....might have just gotten inspiration for another hobby pipe!

Yeah know come to think of it I haven’t tried that...lol. I’ll have to do that when I use it next. Thank you

Forgot to add, it isn’t a true “Poker” as I apparently removed just enough material that when the stem is inserted it tips to that side and falls over. I want to do another one, but I’ll be sure to keep enough material or shape the bottom differently so it actually stands up like a Poker should

So thanks to all of you, (and no that’s not sarcasm) I’ve decided to start carving my own pipes. I received a hobby block from P&C and got to work figuring out what I wanted to make. After tinkering, buying new tools (always a bonus of any project), and diving in, I’m really liking this new...
