You are a lucky man to own the Christmas Star @sfduke. I wanted to buy that one, but Derrick said it was sold before completed. It seems we are both huge fans of Derrick’s work Derrick does fantastic work, and we are fortunate to have him as a forum member to offer his work. Can you post a picture of your favorite @snake tamper you own, please?

Thanks @headrott. Will do shortly.

Midway organizing my Snake tamper collection. My favorite tamper is one he made offline and never posted a pic.

Picked it up personally when I was in town.

Thank you! Looking forward the the tamper you picked up personally!

edit: Do you do like I do and try and match the tampers to pipes you own? Or do you just buy what you like? I do a little of each, but mostly try and match the tamper to a pipe I own.

I go for materials that I prefer like Blackwood and Morta. But usually like @snake create with his imagination.

Thank you very much!
Every one of my tampers
is fully functional, whether
they be basic shapes, or
created from my artistic side.

Thanks! Chances are slim
I make another scythe, but
stranger things have happened.

Can you find the mystery tamper?

@snake
Here is my collection of your tampers. Thanks for your creativity.

Finally have them all labeled. Can never remember all the details of each.
