That looks like some real nice work you've done there 12toneman. I'm not so sure my woodcraft skills are sufficient to the task though. :lol!:

Did you make your own corbels or did you find some pre-fab'd? And I imagine the horizontal shelves would have to notched to fit around the vertical bits (stiles? rails? mullions?) :roll: .

Maybe one of these days I'll make an attempt and see how it turns out. I don't suppose you've any pictures of that beauty loaded with your own pipes, do you? 8)

Happy Holidays and thanks for posting! :santa:

I wanted to share a couple of good simenon items I came across.

First this video....there are several Simenon pipe-footage vids on the internet. I had never seen this one before. Good, but brief shot of GS packing a pipe and abusing another one with a knife (also notice the generous glass of whiskey). This is at 11'34":

Second item: photograph. what's different about this pic? answer: Dunhill Flake on the table (not the usual RY)!
