Austrian Pipe Maker David Wagner

[eaglerico]

I am constantly cruising YouTube looking for videos on pipe making trying to pick up hints to help me. I find I get much more from watching someone do something then any amount of reading. I found this video today and I think it is by far one of the best pipe making videos I have seen to date. I can't understand a thing he is saying but the craftsmanship this guy shows is just amazing. One of my problems is the patience this guys just exudes. I have never seen his pipes before but if I ever do see one I will do my best to get it. If anyone can understand him please elaborate as to what he is saying.

He spoke too fast to understand most of it. But, he enjoys working near nature. He said you have to "feel the nature of the pipe" to make a good pipe.

I signed up for his English newsletter. It looks like he sells most of his work via Asian retailers.
This one is a beauty:

Amazing video, my German is next to native.

Notice he lights his pipe with a torchlighter ?
Hi Al ; where can I sign up for the newsletter ?

 

[ssjones]

I never rec'd the said newsletter.

 

[orlandofurioso]

That sucks, but where did you enlist ?

Well, he certainly makes a nice looking pipe, for sure, but I don't think I'm dropping $600 for it. It is a pretty apple shape though.
