Making Pipes "cough losers cough"

[HammaHed]

I am not a reformed smoker.....

I am an object orientated phsycoanalytically astutified CLEAN AIR BREATHER.

How can I phrase this about smokers without starting open warfare on people who do smoke, which is just like taking a tiny little gun, with a tiny little bullet and committing suicide - a little bit at a time.

"Smoke? Smoke??? - I don't care if you burn".

I'd much rather a clean hot fire around the stake from the outset tho.

Anyway - I had one of my little obsessions running today... and it was Ebonite - or more commonly Vulcanite - which is a very high sulphur content rubber that is as hard as, and I was looking, looking, looking and thinking, "That stuff would make a great fretboard for a base guitar"....

That was until I found out that over very long periods of time, under light and humidity - it slightly sweats sulphuric acid - and I want my instruments to be functional in several hundred years time..... and not rotting from internal chemical reactions.

So we go to bakelite sheet......

Anyway, in amongst all of this I came across 2 sites;

One guy who makes just absolutely fabulous pipes.

And the other site that process's the briar bulbs.

Although I think men who mope around sucking on pipes, tend to look like insecure neurotic children - with old faces - still sucking on the tit,

The sites are very interesting and they have lots of pictures and the workmanship is superb.

Your location say that you live in Sydney. Which one of these two is a lie?
Well, all is relative. Better than Bejing, I suppose.
