Pipemaking
can
be
done
with
a
few
tools
as
long
as
you
take
your
time:
You
can
make
a
pipe
using
1
flat
file,
1
round
file,
sandpaper
of
different
grades
and
a
vice.
Choose
a pipekit
|
|
|
Design
your
pipe:
Draw
your
dream
pipe
on
a
piece
of
paper
or
directly
onto
the
pipe
kit.

Shape
your
pipe
Use a
rasp
or a
band
saw
to
make
the
rough
shape.
Then
use a
flat
and a
round
file
to
get
closer
to
the
pipe
of
your
choice.
Guide
the
file
in
the
same
direction
as
the
main
lines
on
your
pipe.
You
can
also
use a
disc-
or
beltsander
if
you
have
access
to
such
equipment.
If
you
want
to
change
the
curve
of
your
mouthpiece,
you
can
do
this
by
heating
it to
150
degrees
Celsius.
Heat
in
carefully
with
a
heat
gun
or in
candle.
Stop
the
process
in
cold
water
and
the
shape
will
stay.

Sanding
When
you
are
satiesfied
with
the
rough
shape
on
your
pipe,
you
remove
file-lines
by
using
sandpaper,
starting
with
80 or
100 -
paper.
Use
150,
220
and
finally
320
paper
until
you
have
the
finish
you
want.
|
|
|
Polish,
if
you
want
If
you
want
a
shiny
surface
on
your
pipe,
you
can
use a
filt-disc
attached
to a
drill.
This
disc
coupled
with
standard
polishing paste
will
remove
the
finest
sckratches
on
both
the
mouthpiece
and
the
pipe
head.
Alternatively,
you
can
use a
fine
sanding
paper
&
som
wood
oil
on
the
outside
of
your
pipe
head.
But
your
pipe
will
also
stay
"natural".
