Who all is going? I'm only there for the day, but would be cool to hang out with brothers/sisters attending from the board. Added the show site link: http://www.westcoastpipeshow.com/

It's time I update on my life as of late: Recently, I'd been on the lookout for a new job. As the title says, I got one! Just thought you guys should know is all!

Here's the next one in the queue!

As shown in my making-of thread, here are more pics.    

Actually it's tomorrow (or whenever they arrange to deliver). I've been waiting on this for a couple months now! (Stock image) Super stoked!!! :twisted:

I'm working through the queue of pipes I "need" to make for some guys at the shop. Here's my first rusticated one. It will get an ebonite stem which I've already started shaping. Sorry for the crappy quick pics. More pics to follow once I finish up the stem!

Well, this happens sometimes... :no:

Stay tuned...

I was recently commissioned to make a pipe for a guy from Spain (via Germany). He was here for some 6 odd weeks for work and got to chatting about all the sorts of things pipe smokers do. I showed him some in-progress work and he immediately asked for a pipe. "His" shape is a bit of a gray-area...

Hello brothers & sisters! A while back in Aug I posted that we had suffered a miscarriage. A lot of you had very kind and encouraging words to regroup, keep on trying, etc. Well, not too long after in late January we found out we were pregnant again! We have since found out we're having a boy...

Still working through some VT freehand kits, but here's the first one I'm interested in posting here. Comments & (constructive) criticism is welcome! Before you say it, I am aware of the pits and unevenness in stain. :roll: And here's a preview of the one in progress:

I have wide feet. Absurdly wide. 4E is not really comfy for me, so I wear 5-6E. Unfortunately, all the nice dress shoes are tailored to 3E or less. The "normal" shoe stores may have nice options, but I look sadly and longingly at them and sigh in dismissal. They will never fit. I see those...

I'd bought a messenger bag at Goodwill earlier this year to tote my pipe stuff to the shop. It was ok (can't beat $5) but it was not very structurally solid. I could put my case in it, but there was no hard bottom, so everything sort of slides to the middle unless I pack it full. It's also...

A quick digression: I was away this weekend at Lake Tahoe with some friends. This is nearby Angorra Lake: Now, back home. I had received a box on Thursday, before driving up. I didn't think much of it, though I had a sneaking suspicion when I gave it the ol' sniff test. I busted it opened...

I promise this isn't a troll. I've been wanting to do this and I think it's time I put it out there. It's not a vent or a complaint, just sorta telling it like it is and how I've felt throughout recent events. Sorry about the long post, but I hope through this you get to know me a little...

Jeb and I are going! Booked tix yesterday! Who else is going???

Hi all. I came across this cheat sheet from an ebay guide that clarifies the different methods of Priority shipping. I thought I'd post it here for anyone interested in shipping BoB sales or bombing mission boxes...

I've been looking into watches recently since I'm trying to grow up and be a real boy. I'm not all that into men's accessories and have subsisted on Casio since I was a kid. As of writing this, the most expensive watch I've owned is the one on my wrist at a whopping $200. :P I have a friend who...

My wife called me after lunch to tell me when she got home from yoga, our house had been broken into. They took her jewelry, lots of it heirlooms and gifts, mostly of sentimental value, but still worth something and irreplaceable. :no:  They left all our other stuff alone apparently, but now...

Tried to write this on the weekend, but my phone didn't like it so I sorta forgot yesterday. Anyway, I received a pleasant surprise bombing from Jesse (GrampGrossbart, I believe?) which was a bag sample each of McC VA #27 & La Brumeuse Semois! I enjoyed the McC a lot yesterday afternoon, right...
