I’ll second the suggestion to make pipe tampers, I’ll certainly buy one. And if you don’t get a spoon for Cartman you’re going to be in some serious trouble!
I’ll consider the pipe tamper idea, that would be pretty straightforward and offer lots of opportunity for embellishment. Maybe a tamper on one end and a spoon on the other!
Maybe a tamper with a hollow body to store a small amount of snuff!
@ddavelarsen: fantastic work on your site, mate - I’m really impressed with your craftsmanship, absolutely outstanding.
Hey @ddavelarsen… do you have the ability to make a genesis atty?
@ ddavelarsen… that’s a killer idea. I have a Brebbia pipe tamper that has one square end and a notch/spoon depression on the other. I use it just that way, tamp my pipe, dip the other end in a tin of snuff… A really nice wood one would be great, and functional.
All you fine people - thanks for the compliments and ideas! I will certainly consider and probably experiment with making tampers. I don’t currently have the raw material needed for either brass or wood (well, certainly I have wood, I’ll look into that), but will definately see what I can come up with soon. @transistor - Rob, my making skills are limited to removing excess material! I could no more make an atty than a spacecraft. LOL! But thanks for the vote of confidence!
Michaelangelo only had to remove excess material as well.
@ddavelarsen- I hadn’t read this thread in a while and just checked your site. All I can say is incredible. I feel lucky to have a piece of work from such a talented person. Keep up the great work.
@josh, thanks for the kind words! I hope you’re well served with your spoon. @Xander, you made me LOL again!
@ddavelarsen Hey dave I’m sorry I COMPLETELY spaced sending you payment yesterday. Check your PP account I sent you $13. Thank you SO MUCH for this spoon it is perfect!
@transistor - PayPal is good, I got that notification before I saw your note. Thanks so much for your support. If you come across any SG Vanilla any time soon, keep me in mind as I’m having a vanilla jones! I hope the spoon serves you well for many years.
@ddavelarsen Okay good. Thank you I LOVE my spoon. My fiance really wants one, so if you make any more please send me another! I’d be happy to pay for it or whatever. SG Vanilla-- I already know
I fully intend I snagging some up or atleast letting you know if I see any. I’ve heard Tonka Beans add a vanilla scent to your snuff, if you took a good SG natural snuff and added one I bet it’d be good! But I understand, it’s probably not the same! Don’t worry, I’m on the lookout!
@transistor - you’re the Man Rob!
Only vanilla I’ve tried is Toques and I love it. I’m a big vanilla fan I need to try out SG’s version. Sorry to get off topic lol
@EricHill79, I love Toque Vanilla too, but the SG version has a much more pronounced vanilla flavor that I love. It’s going to be my next bulk purchase, no doubt about it. Talking about snuff is never off topic!
