Penguin Briar: Difference between revisions

I started into the obsession/sickness of pipe making probably like a lot of other pipe makers, by wanting to make and smoke my own pipe, one that I fashioned myself. As part of their overall training, every Jedi had to make their own light sabre and I wanted to make my own weapon as pipe-smoker in training. I wanted the satisfaction of making my own weapon and being able to smoke a pipe that I made myself. I didn’t have a lot of expectations and figured it wouldn’t be  much of a pipe to look at, but it would be MINE!!! And I knew I would enjoy the satisfaction of smoking a pipe that I brought forth from a block of wood.

Since I have a full time job, most of my pipe making activities are on the weekends. A few of Paul’s former students, along with Horace meet most Saturday mornings in Paul’s shop to work on projects, bounce ideas off each other, solve world problems, and generally just have a great time as the Phoenix "Spit-n-Whittle" club!
