We will be making one of a kind wood and resin Pocket Pipes from scratch! No kits here!

This will be a similar class to wooden pocket pipes, however we use many new tools and manufacturing processes!
You will start by picking out your wood blanks for your bowl as well as our hybrid stem blanks that will be assembled during our workshop, cut, carved, engraved if you like, polished and finished into something you can really be proud of. Of Course we have to try
them out so feel free to bring tobacco or otherwise since this is Colorado...and give them a try!
Feel free to bring a friend to observe for FREE! However seating is limited and prioritized for paying participants
work order will go:
-Pick your wood
-Assemble the blanks with glue and clamps
-Use the drill press to prep our bowls
-Carve, sand, shape the pipes
- take a quick beer/wine break
-Engrave our pipes
-Enjoy your new creation!
We will be in my shop (Garage) the entirety of the work time and most of the class primarily using a rotary tool with an extension attachment (makes it like using a pen to carve/sand rather than holding the entire tool). I will have music playing and examples for ideas, like I mentioned feel free to BYOB while we work as well. Just use common sense, we will be working with power tools that have sharp bits
Other things to note
Any and all experience levels are welcome, I especially encourage folks who have never tried any wood working. I will always be there to help or step in if any step of the process makes you uncomfortable. I can often accommodate custom time slots as well, just shoot me a message anytime!
