Since my teens I was fascinated with tobacco pipes, the infinite shapes and sizes where mesmerizing. I started making pipes for myself in 2009, professionally since 2010. I had made close to 50 pipes, and never thought they were good enough for sale, actually I had never even thought about making and selling pipes. One day a few friends saw the pipes on my rack, and were really impressed. They kept asking me where I had purchased them. When I told them that I made them all, they were amazed. (they are simple folk) ; ) So I sold them 6 of the pipes that day. | Since my teens I was fascinated with tobacco pipes, the infinite shapes and sizes where mesmerizing.

All my pipes are unique. All hand crafted, and shaped. No two pipes are alike | All my pipes are unique one of a kind. All hand crafted, and shaped. No two pipes are alike. Its not because I can't duplicate them, Its that I don't want to duplicate them. I want each piece to be original, and unique. | ||
I do not own or use a lathe. To me a lathe is too automated, and it takes the fun out of pipe making. I shape my pipes | I do not own or use a lathe. To me a lathe is too automated, and it takes the fun out of pipe making. I shape my pipes freehand, using a sanding/shaping wheel. | ||
Why "Fat Bastard" you ask? It was a nick name given to me in high school... long story. But, the name fits well with my pipes. Most of them are bastardly big. So there you go. | Why "Fat Bastard" you ask? It was a nick name given to me in high school... long story. But, the name fits well with my pipes. Most of them are bastardly big. So there you go. | ||
All my pipes are made using Italian briar wood only. Italian briar tends to be better than briar from other regions of Europe. | |||
Even though pipe making is a passion of mine, I don't make pipes full time. I create 10-20 pipes per month. All my pipes are affordably priced, and they are available for sale, or custom order from my website at http://www.FatBastardPipes.com | Even though pipe making is a passion of mine, I don't make pipes full time.
