Any Hobby Pipe Makers in Columbus, OH?

[ZeroContent]

Is there any hobby pipe makers in the Columbus area who might be willing to show/teach me how it's done? I've been interested in the creation aspect of pipes before I actually started smoking them so I'd like to see if it's something I'd like to pursue before I put any money into tools. (Why do I feel like I'm asking for classified information?)

Thanks,
Eric

not classified info, zerocontent! i can't help you, but funny story...when i joined the BoB i found out a brilliant pipe maker lived not fifteen minutes from me. we've since gotten together and had a lot of fun. if any of the other pipe makers are like him, they're more than happy to share their knowledge and experience (and equipment!).

good luck!

You should check with Tim West. He's in Columbus, makes pipes, and sells pipe making supplies.

Yeah, I'm calling Tim tonight about another matter, a pipe I've found that has some odd parts.

Stop in at Smoker's Haven and talk to Bill Shalosky or Premal Chheda. They're both great guys and fine pipe makers.

Cool, thanks, I'll try to stop in there.
