Come Together

October 7, 2010 by Ted Swearingen

I'd never had the opportunity to see a pipe made. I'm familiar enough with some of the tools that get used in such a process, like lathes and drill bits and jigsaws and what all, but the step-by-step process of manufacturing a pipe by hand had remained to me elusive. ... Read More

July 25, 2010 by Sykes Wilford

Kicking it off is a long video of Lasse Skovgaard at work. For various camera reasons, the video quality isn't as good as the others we've been doing lately, but I decided to run with it anyway: watching the lathe work is particularly interesting here. ... Read More

July 25, 2010 by Sykes Wilford

I've watched other pipe makers work all over the world. Much of the equipment is the same, but the methods can be surprisingly different.
