I learned about Pipe Maker’s Emporium from the helpful people at StagTobacconists. They steered me toward the owner, Paul Hildebrand. Everyone
there told me that Paul was a very nice man and that he teaches a class on
pipe making. Unfortunately, I was unable to afford the class. After going to his
shop and getting advice numerous times, I found out that his former assistant
that was repairing pipes with him was no longer able to. I asked if I could repair
with him in exchange for the opportunity to learn to make pipes. Paul agreed
and I began learning how pipes are properly engineered and how to utilize the
tools in my shop for pipe making.
I begun crafting my own stems from Ebonite and Cumberland
and using Delrin
tenons. With out the help of my friends and family I couldn't have gotten as
far
as I have. I have been motivated and inspired by the work of Jody Davis and
Jeff
Gracik of J Alan pipes.
