Re: Churchwarden Stem making
You can make a pipe with simple tools. Your best bet is to start with a pipe kit for the first one. If you contact Steve Norse (http://vermontfreehand.com) you can have him make you a pipe kit with a churchwarden stem on it. The tooling to turn a tenon and face the shank is where it gets dicey witho...

Re: Is there anyone out there?
What about simply blending various types of organic tobacco like from this website: https://www.leafonly.com/pipe-tobacco-l ... bacco-leaf
There's not much organic options. I'll probably find out that the combo I had in mind (simply Burley and Brightleaf) isn't the best stuff in the world.

Re: Churchwarden Stem making
Im mainly wondering what the potential problems with drilling the airway would be. I'm kinda confused about how you would drill it in a bent stem, or shank. I have absolutely NO woodworking experience.... Ok. Well you drill a bent stem the same way you drill a straight stem. Then you heat and bend ...

Re: Churchwarden Stem making
How much work do you think would go into a churchwarden like this? I find myself really ONLY wanting churchwardens, for some reason any other style doesn't attract me, although I may see the light someday. it's easier to make a straight stem, instead of a curved one, right? This actually looks like...

Re: Blinkyrocket
Welcome. You should do your research on pipe smoking and cigar smoking. Very different than cigs. Yeah, that's what I think, A buddy from another forum gave anecdotal evidence to the differences, said he had smokers cough and raspy voice when smoking cigarettes and he tried organic tobacco from a p...

Re: What tools do I need to buy to make pipes?
Thanks for this post very interresting. The french pipemaker Pierre Morel says it is not possible to drill a pipe accurately without a lathe. I don't know who he is, but I've drilled pipes accurately both with a drill press and with a hand drill. Maybe he meant his own skill though. IAWJ. I've been...
