With far too many stories in between, I eventually made it to Manhattan but Finn had left and was reported to be working in Vermont. I had the names of two makers there - [[Andrew Marks]] in Middlebury, and [[Elliott Nachwalter | The Briar Workshop]] in Stowe. Finn had indeed been working in Stowe, but was gone by the time I arrived. However, [[Elliott Nachwalter|Elliott]] and Jorg were making some very attractive pipes and after some fancy confabulation on my part, I joined in their work. A year or two later we had [[J.T. Cooke|Jim Cooke]] join our team. It was a great five years altogether, working in Stowe & Hyde Park in Vermont, and Coral Springs in Florida. In 1980 I moved back to California, where I completed a 4-year Tool & Die apprenticeship to round out my machining skills in the pipe shop. Fate had other plans for the future, which led to a 16-year career in the computer industry and only a little time to make pipes for friends and the odd pipe repair. | With far too many stories in between, I eventually made it to Manhattan but Finn had left and was reported to be working in Vermont.

Finally | Finally, it was time to begin making Pohlmann Pipes, combining the skills learned at The Briar Workshop with my tool and die training, and now incorporating the newest trends in the internal construction of the pipe. | ||
