Hey BoB'ers,
Just wanted to update you on the progress of this last pipe I was working on and to let you know that the Pipe Maker's Guild will start having regular meetings again starting in September (took a little break for the summer--as it's just too dang hot here in California).
Here's a pic of the pipe I was working on (a pot shaped pipe, the hand turned tenon of which I broke by, you know, dropping it on the floor by mistake).
And here's what it looks like now, all complete:
I've been outfitting my shop some more and organizing over the summer. Working on an Olive wood Poker right now and hope to have that one done faster than I did this one (which took forever). I will post some pics of that one soon as I have something to show that looks sort of like a pipe.
If you're interested in joining us to make some pipes, either next month or somewhere down the line (next meeting will probably be mid-late September), let me know (either here, or PM me) and we'll save a spot for you. There's no charge and I have enough tools so you can make yourself something that resembles a pipe. Heck, it might even smoke like a pipe, too!
Thanks again,
Frank
