Thanks for sharing. How do you carve the pipes? And what's the with metal wire on that first pic?
Way to follow through and work out a solution.Well to be honest, it was a bit of a screw-up that worked out ok. Underneath that barrel-like thing is a metal rod connecting the body to the stem. It looked so odd, I needed to thicken it out. I cut little bits of wood into tiny planks, and glued them in the shape of a barrel, then wrapped it in wire to finish the ascetic. Not the prettiest pipe, but it taught me a lot!
Perhaps! But I enjoy it, so I’ll continue.I think you would be better off just studying how pipes are made than making them.
Thanks! That means a lot. I’ve only done 4 so far, and each one looks better than the last. I’ll post pictures when I make the next one.Dude keep at it. If these are your first attempts then I’m impressed. It looks like rather than try to achieve a standard shape you went with your own imagination. I assume you’re new to the pipe smoking world like me. Keep doing the research and learning all you can and maybe all the images will soak into your brain. Who knows your next sculpture will be a masterpiece. keep us posted on any new creation.![]()
That's how it goes. Keep having fun with it and keep sharing. They are unique. Will be fun to see what you come up with. Pipes are quite diverse in style and there are a lot of diverse tastes out there to go right along with them.I’ve only done 4 so far, and each one looks better than the last.
Yeah, I am having trouble navigating this website, sorry for the confusion!I ask the moderation to immediately remove this Thread from the "Italian Pipes" section.
