You are welcome my friend
A Beautiful job Peter! The set up you had to drill that perfect hole is something to behold! It’s funny how we learn these simple methods from masters of their art. My Mentor was born in 1889 and died 1981. Aside from being a Dear Friend he taught me well. I was in my 20s and he visited my shop one summer day. He commented on the smells of wood and shellac, the delightful memories it created for him. He said, this will make you mad but you see all this work you have here? It’s going to take you 6 or 8 weeks to do. It would take me about two weeks. I couldn’t believe he could make me mad but it did a bit. Then John said, it will take you longer because you have to think about it. I don’t think about that it but just do it. In later years Peter I realized what John was saying, that you become a master of your work when you don’t have to think about it anymore, you just do it. I’m sure you can relate to this. You’ve said you’re not a master of none but a jack of all trades, EH? In reality you are a master of many by my observation. Experience in living life makes us masters in many ways. Baking a fine apple pie is an art. So everyone is an artist in some respect, even if it’s relating well with others. I know my words are lengthy here but you are inspiring Peter! About tobacco/alcohol and the Old/New World. The Indigenous used their tobacco in sacred ways while Europeans used alcohol in sacred ways as well, to seal a deal, toasting and so on. So the sacred things in each culture became addictions to the other. It’s a good example of abusing a sacred thing and the results in doing so. Well I’ve become long winded, or I should say long buttoned quite enough,eh? Hey, I’ve always enjoyed eh, eh? Kind Thanks once again Peter! You are a Master indeed of many things. One of them is sharing knowledge and wisdom. As one of your fans that you provide joy to, I am very grateful to your Clan! Peace, Joy, Abundance and Life! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Hey Peter! My Cousin SFC George Meltzer carried a H & B Tomahawk and a sawed off 12 gauge Shotgun in his multiple tours of Vietnam. He referred to them both as, "Ideal weapons for an Infantryman.", and he would have been in a position to know! His real life experiences have had a great influence on my attempts to reenact an 18th Century Frontiersman. You have made a good looking Pipe tomahawk that will serve you well for a long time to come.

Great job. I would have liked to see how you wrapped the leather on the handle to do the final mounting of the pipe tomahawk though.
@TheWoodlandEscape
7 ай бұрын
Quite simple, … I cut the leather to fit the diameter of the haft and set the head. It mounts as solid as if it had wedges like you see used on hammers and axes. Once the leather is compressed it is on there very solidly. The leather should be very thin. The last step is to drill through the pipe bowl, through the leather and the haft until you intersect with the hole running through the haft. I hope this helps.

I'd take a pull on it with you any day! My wife and I quit smoking 11-12 years ago, and to this day I miss my pipe more than anything else. The smell of it in early fall was amazing. I can remember my great grandfather going directly out to the plant and removing the leaves to fill his pipe with. Nothing has that aroma. The old tobacco barn still has that fragrance in it and it hasn't been used in 50 years. Now days tobacco is used to actually treat certain cancers, it is truly a medicinal herb!

He was a retired roundhouse Superintendent for the ACL Railroad. His family was from Scotland.

One of them said " do ya suppose that back then, sanitation being what it was, that they would have washed the residue of dried blood out of the bowl before firing it up?" Anyway..
