I have picked up some skills with wood and tools, largely from my piano rebuilding work, and making a few pieces of furniture. | [[Image:Scotthile_me.jpg|thumb|200pxl| Scott Thile]]I have enjoyed pipe smoking and collecting since a young lad of 16 and loved wood and working wood for as long as I can remember.

For many years I dreamed of making my own pipe one day, and I finally did. It was christened in February of 2006 as Etude #1, The Piano Tuner's Pipe. Many flaws and mistakes of course, but a wonderful and rewarding experience. I was hooked! | For many years I dreamed of making my own pipe one day, and I finally did.
