Hi Steve and all my pipe smoking friends,
This is just a note in response to the request from Julie Whitefeather in
the latest P.D. for info on pipe making.  Julie, my friend and the Sec'y of
the pipe club of which I am a member, a fine gent named Bill Unger talked
me into writing an article on pipe making for the amateur which was printed
in our club newsletter.  After receiving a few good remarks from fellow
club members, the article was subsequently reprinted here in the Pipes
Digest.  If you are interested in a how-to article slanted toward the
starting pipemaker, you will find it in P.D. #214 in the archives.  Allow
me to suggest that if you heve even the slightest interest in learning how
to make your own pipes, let nothing stand in your way.  This is just about
the neatest hobby one could imagine, especially for one who loves to smoke
pipes.  I don't sell my pipes, but just give them to my friends or smoke
them myself.  The gratitude received from a good pipe smoking friend upon
receipt of one of my hand made pipes exceeds any monetary reward I could
ever wish for.  Go for it - you'll never be sorry you did.
Regards to all,
Bob
