Been lookin for a pipe

[istanbulin]

Helpful links guys! The pictures of the manufacturing process at Elmas Nargile are very interesting! The lathe they're using to clean up the castings is pretty old, holding a smaller chuck in a larger chuck is an old shop kink (short cut) not seen very often anymore. The final product would look very nice in any sitting room!

Nearly each part of a nargile is handmade at this workshop. Here's a short video about this workshop in a German TV channel.

I thought this was an interesting twist. Leave it to the Austrians/Germans to reinvent the wheel

To me, I'd call it starting with a clean sheet of paper. You don't see outside fenders and running boards on new cars much anymore. I'm glad to see wood spokes, inner tubes and mechanical brakes slip into the past, other things don't have to change.

You can buy beautiful mass produced chinese pipes that work great and are cheap. But for a pipe I want something that connects to the past. I cant get but one cause we startin to look like hoarders around here.

They're really very expensive

well it does have a special black shaft made in Austria, so based on the rarity of those that makes sense.

 

[Boboro]

Well I got the $55 pipe I wanted one that was more authentic and didnt cost much more but it had a no return policy.If this ones what thry say it is I will be suprized. If Its Egyptian and works right Ill be happy.
