This page will be a little bit different. When we were preparing for the move to France, a few very kind, very generous, and VERY patient collectors gave us a big help by sending in working cash, to be paid back later in pipes. These folks were all understanding enough to realize that it might be years before they saw their pipes, and also accept the risk that we might not make it and the money could be gone forever. BUT, we are still alive and I've finally been able to, very slowly, start paying back the various people who helped us get here. The pipe shown below is one of those payments - a request for "an evil skull". I took photos as I worked so visitors can have an idea of how such a pipe progresses.
