[Generalissimo]

What a great thread. You guys are inspirational. I would love to have a couple of the pipes you have made and shown off here. The one and only time I tried to make my own, I bought a lump of meerschaum and a short stem from Peterson's in Dublin. I roughly carved it till it looked like something dangerous to hit people with, then when my Churchwarden broke, I took the long stem and used that for it.
