Okay maybe not quite, but I did receive a fantastic write-up by pipe collector and critic Neill Archer Roan. You can read his post here: Neill’s Blog at APassionForPipes.com. I am honored to be included on his blog among the best of pipe makers.

I also had the pleasure of pipe maker John Crosby visiting my shop in Fountain Square last Friday. As always with John, there was much laughter and a great time was had. We managed to get some pipe work done as well!

The next morning I headed out to Wayne Teipen’s shop for more of the same, mostly making the journey to use his blast cabinet as I haven’t procured mine just yet. Like the Friday get together with John, we smoked and laughed and worked on pipes.

Until next time, happy piping!
