In another thread homemade pipes I was talking about making clay pipes . Not the Irish type that are molded but free form . I work in clay and I harvest my own , not like clay is expensive around $20.00 for 20lb box . I like Indiana. Brown clay . Well today I made a few of them different types and sizes from a ounce of clay to about 6 . When dry they will be less than half there weight . Wish I can pictures but for some reason it's not working . Instead of completely taking of that thread I will make a new one . Everyone that smokes a pipe can make one . And if you messed up throw it a way and start again.
