ATTENTION PIPE MAKERS

 

If you own a Ken Lamb Alignment Chuck™.

Please send me an email with the diameter of the

Jaw pins ( two per side) on your chuck.

I originally used 5/16" (.312") diameter.

I changed to 3/8" (.375") diameter.

I have an improvement I will send you to add to the chuck free of charge.

Thank you,

Ken Lamb

I would like to start by thanking all of the true and loyal customers from all over the world.

I started out making pipe racks and cabinets and found a need for pipe making tooling in the profession.

 

The tooling end of my business has been fantastic.

2007 was my best year for sales in the tooling end of my business.

 

I am not fortunate enough to have been born with money, or a wife with a job that has medical benefits.

 

There are many like myself that have full time jobs and their pipe business is a sideline.

I have made some mistakes in the years of my business and have learned from them.

Still here after six years and many personal family and full time job set backs.

 

I will always try my best to do the right thing for my customers.

Delivery is still a problem and always will be.

If you need something in a hurry I politely suggest you see if another vendor can help you.

 

My intent is to help not offend a potential customer.

I know my weakness.

 

In 2008 I would like to see some

Ken Lamb handmade pipes

in Chicago.

 

I hope 2008 is a good year for all.

Sincerely,

 

Ken Lamb

I am catching up on my cabinet orders, two left!

 I managed to take a few rack orders for the holidays.

Thank you for your patience.


11.17.2005

Spring 2006 I will be revamping my website to reflect the changes in my business.

KenLamb.com

Pipe Making Tooling is becoming a larger portion of my business. This section will be re-designed for easier navigation and less scrolling.

 I attended the New York Pipe Show this past weekend in Newark, a very heavy crowd this year.

The show was a success and I have booked the March 2005 show already.

 


 

01.10.04

 I would like to thank all of my customers who rode through a tough time in my business and personal life.

2004 is going to bring some new changes in my business, as well as a new product line. Stay tuned.....

Happy New Year!

 

11.28.03

 I would like to thank all of my customers who have been very patient with my past due deliveries.

I should be caught up with all old orders in the next few days.

I am not taking any new orders until further notice for two reasons.

1. I work a full time job during the day, cabinet making business is a part time venture that has become a full time venture. My anticipated delivery scheduling has been way off. My customers are becoming very upset with my repeated promises not being kept. I am trying my best to juggle a family, day job, and maintain a timely delivery schedule for my cabinet and rack customers.

I have not been very successful in the delivery area.

I will not ship a cabinet or rack until it is right.

My quality has never been a problem to date.

2. In the future all cabinets will be scheduled with more time for myself to manufacture with the customer notified at the time of order placement.

I would like spend more time working on my pipe making skills.

I hope you understand.

Sincerely,

Ken Lamb

I am double checking my books.

I bought from you Ken!

 Effective  05.01.03 all my cabinets will feature dovetail joinery on the casework as well as the drawers when ordered. I have a new jig which enables me to incorporate this finest of joinery to my cabinets. I am very excited about this new improvement.

 

03.23.03

 I expect to finish all of my cabinet orders before I leave for the Chicago Show in May. I am taking 1 hour every night and working on my pipes. I hope to have something to take to Chicago to show.

 

03.11.03

The March Newark Pipe Show is behind us now. It was a very successful show for Lamb Pipes.

 

The Chicagoland Show is only 2 months away.

I am working on a special project for display at the Chicago Show. Stay tuned........

 

 

01.04.03

My Pipe maker tooling is available to see online again. A friend has convinced me that we are all adults here. If someone chooses to spend his money on pipe making tooling, that is their choice.

Makes sense to me.

 

12.26.02

My website is fully functional and an ongoing process. Please feel free to send me an eMail with your comments on how the site works for you, good and bad.
