Talbert Pipes- Three new Ligne Bretagnes, and another stubby Talbert

[Trever Talbert]

Hello all!  It's been a bit quiet here but I've just posted another site update.  First up are three new Ligne Bretagne long-stemmed billiards, of the pencil-shanked and banded style of the last couple I posted:

These will be the last few LBs to be posted for probably a couple of weeks at least, as we've just about run out of pipe bags for them and our order is still in process.  This is OK, though, because I wanted to do more Talbert Briars this month anyway, and the first of the lot is up here - Another very fat, very stubby ring-grain billiard sandblast:

Those who follow our business Twitter feed and/or Facebook page know I just got a new set of spade bits to use, so I'm looking forward to spending the next few weeks making exclusively Talbert freehands to see how well they work.  If by chance you *don't* follow our FB or Twitter feeds, you cna check them out here:

I've been posting a LOT more frequently to the Twitter feed, especially, ever since we got a small Android tablet for the workshop, as it allows me to really easily snap "in process" pics and send them straight to Twitter with a quick comment.  Probably mostly of interest to those who like to see background photos, tool pics, work-in-progress, etc.  

Also, there's a new Pipe Blog article up, devoted entirely to the new pipemaker and how to track his income per pipe.  Being all about money, it is of course terribly boring, but it might be of great use to anyone trying to turn their hobby into a profitable business.

That's it for now.  I'll be away from the computer for the next few hours as tonight is our Mystery Science Theater 3000 group movie night, but I'll be back later to reply to email inquiries and such.  As always, thanks very much for your time and for your interest in our work!
Happy Smoking,
