Plans

Post by rijks »

Hello guys,
do you know where I could find (and if I could), maybe on the forum, any plans with quotes of several pipe shapes ? I will buy neraly the PIMO's book who seems to be perfect for a beginner like me. If you have other way of link or book about this, it will be nice. Thanks for all.

The pimo book isn't nearly as helpful as this forum. Ask your questions here- or do a quick search through the archives to find answers.

Here's what you should do. Buy a pipe kit to start with, use files, sandpaper, dremel tools, whatever to shape it. Try to emulate a classic shape- I recommend a billiard. Post photos in the gallery, and you'll get LOADS of helpful advice. Just try to make your pipe shaped as much like a standard billiard as possible.

It's the best way to grasp the basics.

Cheers!
