Traditional Pipe Making in Slovenia

[luigi]

There was an interesting broadcast on tv about traditional pipe making in my country and I thought I would share. The pipes part begins at 20:00, just skip the first 20 minutes. Hopefully you can open the link. here

I've bookmarked this to watch later, as I'm looking for a pipe from that area. Thanks for posting that Luigi!

Thanks for sharing this. I found the whole program interesting. Those are truly handmade pipes!

Interesting, indeed. The best part: 'look, Ma: no lathe!'

I find particularly interesting a way the master is using for ornaments, looks like he is nailing small pices of metal and polishing them. Pear wood is probably not as good as briar but in this case a long tradition of pipe making, a unique finish and a lid, specially for local people, would seem to be more important.

Enjoyed the short film. Interesting pipes, someday I hope to get one.

I can't pretend I like the style or look of those pipes, but no less interesting because of it. Thanks for sharing.
