  • Absolutely nothing! The Guilds have been abandoned since the late 18th century.

  • Kerpal6 tries to insult the maker of this movie. Visiting his/her site make me belief he/she deals in sex movies. Anyway Kerpal6 proves to lack civilization. I better stay away from this Kerpal.

  • Indeed it is the best to fire the clay. Outside glazing was originally done only for the "luxurious" versions. In other words: glazing is perfectly safe. It will be safe to smoke your pipe as long as it is well made. The worst that can happen is cracking

  • Where can one get pipe molds?

  • As far as I know you can't buy them. You have to make them yourself or have them made by a toolmaker.

  • @xNerdyBabezx

    NO!!!!! poly clay is not the medium to use. for one it is poisonous when heated well above 300 degrees. and a pipe can get that hot sometime hotter.. most like too it will catch fire.

  • Wonder if polymer clay would work...

  • @DaltonPipes I have an old brass mold that was plowed up by my grandfather in the late 1920s...I do have some photos of it i can send . Do you have any knowledge of these old molds? Worth etc....
