While in Vermont, the Briar Workshop acquired turn of the century pipemaking equipment as part of a collaborative arrangement with Ehrlich's of Boston. Jemelka modified this machinery to enable the production of true copies of handmade pipes. This methodology distinguishes Briar Workshop Florida from Briar Workshop Vermont. Nachwalter and [[Brad Pohlmann]] continued in providing designs for batch production as well as hand-made 'one-offs' for sale.
