Pathe film of pipemaking

[Escudo]

Hello fellas,

Found this short film on pipe making at Charatans factory from some years ago - which I thought may be of interest.

The fella cutting the bowls at the start, on the circular saw didn't seem to have any fear of the blade near his fingers! Before the days of H&S!

I would like to have a go at making a pipe one day.

Cheers,T

Fascinating Tony, thanks.

Said on the written blurb Rod that the briar was from Algiers ?

Cheers, Paul

Ta Tony There's a plant doing briar pipes in Dublin too, and using similar processes - i did lot of digging about in it in the late 90s when quoting for consulting business: http://www.peterson.ie/pipes/pipes.html

"How It's Made" in the style of Mr Chumley Warner.

Good stuff.
