just wondering witch cuntry you are from XD and where can i get stems?

[Flieger671]

@21creed Jag bor i Sverige - Ett ställe du kan hitta munstycken på är: shop(dot)hermanns(dot)dk

[TheTimeSphere]

hey, any videos about making the type of pipes that have the really long skinny stems?

[Flieger671]

@TheTimeSphere If you by "long skinny stems" mean Churchwarden- or "Wizard/Gandalf/Hobbit"-pipes - the method is the same as making any other pipe. You just need to find someone who can sell you one of those long stems.

@Flieger671 yeah, i think I'm actually going to try attempt to make my own stem out of wood, I never really carved anything so I'm not expecting too much lol but it will be a fun little project

[Flieger671]

@TheTimeSphere Ahh... I see. OK, good luck with that. Just remember that wood tend to swell from the moisture in the tobacco, so make sure you make the smoke channel extra wide.

Excellent videos! Thank you very much. Just made my first briar pipe today and it turned out great for my first attempt.

@TheTimeSphere a good way to make the stem is to use a piece of stiff wire, which you can heat and use to burn through

I really liked the video, im 16 and I have always been interested with Carving/Working with wood as a past time. And I do love pipes.

So how much does the kit you're using cost? Am a carpenter myself and have been interested in making a pipe for a while.
