I have watched this video like 10 times. He makes this look so easy. I know if i tried this I would make a complete mess out of my briar. I may have to go this rout because I don't have the money for all the fancy pipe makers tools. He is such a character though. I find him to be very entertaining.... Enjoy!!!

That was pretty cool. He certainly seems to have been a colorful gentleman.

Oh, and it shows how much I know about pipes. I just thought this was some really cool and amazing pipe maker. Guess the people clicking all the pictures should have told me he was famous.

I'm very impressed by people with this kind of talent. Heck, the first time I saw how a briar pipe was made I was impressed:

I'd have to mortgage my house to buy a Bo Nordh.

Bo Nordh pipes are the peak of the pipe mountain, each one easily fetching over five grand, some are way over.

+1 Mick. I watched that vid too. I also watched that vid Kabong(no time no talk btw. Hope all is well). Hell, I probably saw all the pipe making vids on Youtube. Great posts guys. Here is very sweet video of the Savinelli pipe factory. Enjoy!!!
