Welcome to my workshop!
This is where it all happens!
Each and every one of my pipes has been designed and
made in this little workshop.
I spend a lot of time
here every day, trying to make the finest pipes of
the highest possible quality, hoping
that one day someone will enjoy smoking them.
Each new
pipe has been created in a veil of sweet and mellow
smoke from various tobacco blends I enjoy while
working in my workshop. What could be a better or
more natural environment for making pipes?

Only finest materials
used
For my pipes I use only the finest possible
selection of the Mediterranean briar wood,
olive wood, bog oak (morta) etc.
For the handmade
stems I use the best German ebonite and sometimes
acryl.
I also use a lot of various exotic
materials such as deer antlers, horn, boxwood,
bamboo,
bocote, spalted maple, palm wood, cocobolo,
ebony, purpleheart, bloodwood etc.

Various types of
handheld and custom made tools
My pipe making techniques involve a lot of
hand craft so, in the hand making process I
use all sorts of handheld tools, which were,
in order for me to make most of them, tuned
to their highest performance.
I use a lot of
different types of files, both for metal
and wood.

Various types of
machines used for drilling, rough shaping
and sanding
Some of the machines that I have in my workshop
include drill press, metal lathe, belt sander,
disk sander, and a band saw.
Dust collecting
system takes up a large part of my workshop.
It is placed in a wooden box
on the ceiling and connected to several more
places in the workshop.

Chandelier
I've wanted something special for my workshop,
when it comes to lightning. Something a little
bit unusual.
I have numerous types of desk lamps all over
workshop that I'm using while working. For
ceiling chandelier I wanted something a little
bit
different,
something
that will
represent everything that this workshop is.
Idea came all by itself. I have many empty
tobacco tins and they can be lovely little
lamps. In my workshop I smoke a pipe, I smoke
cigars and I drink Earl Grey tea, lots of Earl
Grey tea...
All this tobacco, cigars and tea tins are
now part of my workshop chandelier.
