The past few years I have been quietly operating a pipe repair service with the majority of the repairs being Brigham pipes. I have to admit that I was not able to get the pipes repaired in a timely fashion due to time constraints resulting from my other profession as a captain in the marine industry in Toronto. Now that I am workinig for Upper Lakes Shipping, I have more time between assignments to dedicate to my pipe creation and restoration. | The past few years I have been quietly operating a pipe repair service with the majority of the repairs being Brigham pipes.

Like any other art form, I believe the artisan should have their own voice and not just mimic the popular. Pipe makers who have shown this character, like [[Michael Parks]], [[Julius Vesz]], John [[Calich]] and [[Colm Magner]] are the type of artisans that I respect. You will, of course, note that they are all Canadians, and that is probably a function of my association with them. I hope that you will enjoy my pipes and my effort to seek a voice that is unique to me. | ||
My philosophy on restoration is quite simple. I treat every pipe as if it were one of my personal smoking pipes. Your pipe will be restored as if I was going to smoke it, and I do not like to smoke a dirty, broken pipe. | My philosophy on restoration is quite simple.
