How would you like to make your own briar pipe?
Well that’s exactly what participants in the “Hands On” Pipe Making Seminar got to do at the Chicago Pipe Show at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles IL. It seems like it would be a lot of hard work, and it is, but with the guidance of expert pipe makers, the participants turned out some impressive results.
Every year at the Chicago Pipe Show, during the early pre-show days on Wednesday & Thursday, there is a two-day seminar where registrants get to make their own pipes. The class is two full days from 9 - 5 and has a nominal registration fee of $75. Each participant is given a cut briar block ready for carving along with a stem.
The schedule was as follows (from the CPCC Website):
9AM TO 5PM DAILY Brian Ruthenberg/ “Hands On” Pipe Making Seminar
***Access only to pre-registered participants, Pipe Makers scheduled to participate in the seminar and the Show Staff. No others allowed in the area because of safety issues, security issues and because of disruption to class. There is a two-day agenda and it must be adhered to.

Those pipes came out looking great for their first time!
I would love to try making one, but I don’t know if I would have the patience to make a pipe.
I hope those guys come here and post how they smoke.

Hi everyone, I’m really happy with how my pipe turned out. I kinda surprised myself, I was thinking that it was gonna come out looking like a Mr. Potato Head pipe, but it turned out great!I have smoked it a couple of times now and it smokes great. Nice dry, cool, smoke. I would highly recommend the class to anyone. The pipe makers were very helpfull and were a wealth of information. Sign up early though cause the class is small and filled up really quick.
