这叫严谨
俺觉得这叫靠分级蒙钱
恐怕是A、B、C级一年未必出一个吧
呵,没想到大家对Paul Becker这么反感!我没拥有过他的斗,只是看到他的这些作品,觉得造型比较别致靓丽,就整理出来供大家观赏一下。
这有一段Paul Becker的自我介绍:
I was born in Pinneberg in January of 1947. My parents ran a fine tobacconist shop there. After completing school, 2 years of a trade school in Hamburg and an apprenticeship as a merchant, I worked in my parents' business.
I have been an enthusiastic pipe smoker since I was 16 years of age, and even then the dream stirred in me to produce pipes on a popular North Frisian island one day. Many of the well-known Danish pipemakers were role models for me.
But as is often the case in life, dreams are not realized immediately, and so I first took over my parents' business with my wife Erika in 1970.
In 1982 I fitted out a workshop in the basement of my house in order to offer my Pinneberg pipe customers a quick, but good repair service for their pipe mouthpieces and other smaller repairs. Up to then, the workshop room had served as the dark room of "the amateur photographer Becker". Rainer Barbi stood by me with advice and practical support in the equipping of my workshop. He recommended that I not only undertake repairs, but rather that I also try producing a pipe for myself. To attain the know-how for this, I was allowed to look over his shoulder while he was producing his fine "pieces".
It was no sooner said than done, and one day I proudly held the first self-made "freehand" in my hand and was happy to finally be able to smoke it. A few of my Pinneberg pipe customers saw me with my "first" and wanted to acquire a "freehand" from me for themselves.
And so I set to work, and for eight years I sold pipes from my own production out of my shop, each with increasing success.
In 1990 we decided to close the store since from then on I wanted to devote myself completely to the making of pipes.
Now finally my long cherished dream was fulfilled. I became a freelance pipemaker like my role models, the Danes.
I try to connect creativity with precise craft. Slowly but surely I can count more and more fine tobacconists in Germany as my customers. Variety in form, beautiful grain and exact workmanship with a love of detail were persuasive. The best plateaux are equipped with hand-cut mouthpieces that cater to the bite.
In order to avoid confusion, I have been trading under the name "aulpipes" for some time now. |
