[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 445464, member: 509"] Yeah I'm just playing around, man. I think for most solo pipemakers, a lot of the production means ARE pre-industrial or nearly so because in making one-off pieces having machines (which are by nature best at replication) isn't super helpful. There are machines that will make stems, but none of us "solo artisans" have them, we use files to cut the button etc. Lots of handwork. But yeah, the lathe (x2), the sander, the polishing wheels, it's all modern, for sure. But the skills and knowledge to get something out of those things... that's the part that I guess I'd focus on. I don't need the machines to make a nice pipe - they make things faster. My hands, I need. [/QUOTE]
