My name is Michael Lindner. I was born and raised near Detroit, Michigan, where I still reside | My name is Michael Lindner. I was born and raised near Detroit, Michigan, where I still reside. I am pretty much self-taught when it comes to pipemaking, although there have been some notable makers who were kind enough to supply information and encouragement when I first started (namely, Jimmy Cooke, who taught me some basics about setting up machinery; John Eells, who encouraged me early on to "do things right"; Trever Talbert, who gave me insight on equipment and tooling; and Paul Bonaquisti, who has given me advice on anything from bowl coatings to choosing the right lathe.) I have a background in fine art, commercial art, and design, as well as business administration. | ||
