Various articles about my pipe-making, including why I do it and how
This is an article I wrote for my brother Johns 70th birthday festival about my use of fruitwood woods for my pipe making that grew in the village of Ashby Parva, Leicestershire, which is where all our family was born.
A substantial article I wrote for the Spring 2007 issue of Chanter, the journal of The Bagpipe Society. The bag is central and basic to a bagpipe- it is the unique feature which makes a bagpipe a bagpipe. Yet there does not appear to be much written about the topic.
In Feb 2008 I received a fascinating questionnaire about my pipes and approaches to pipemaking which I answered in great detail and later edited for a substantial article in the spring 2010 issue of Chanter, the journal of the Bagpipe Society .
