Hi, thanks for the comments and the faves. I´m happy that you like my pipes.
But I don´t understand so clearly, you want to know, where I buy the Bruyere and Ebonite? I can give you some adresses, if you need.
I never tried to make a Zeppelin. Although it´s a quite interesting looking pipe, I have heard that it´s very uncomfortable for smoking.
So long, let me know, when you have made a pipe and show me the pictures,
greets,
Dirk.

Hi,

thank you for the message. It makes me happy, that you like my work.
Later I will post more pictures, but the last half year I haven´t much time, because I just finished my study in July. That means many examinations.
I am jealous about your homecountry. Finland must be so beautiful. In wich part do you life?
Now for the churchwarden:
first point is, you need a turning lathe.
I hope you school has one, but I guess it does, if it´s a good art school.
The you need a "gun drill".
It´s very easy to make by yourselve.
Here you can see how this tool looks like:

under the number 3 you can see, that it´s easy to make.
Buy a piece of steel with 3 or 4mm thinkness/aperture.
With a rasp you can make it looks like the picture.
The length is as you with. My gun-drills are around 40cm.
Now take a piece of beech wood. I think 3 x 3 xm thinkness and 30 cm length ist enough.
Clamp it in the turning lathe and the gun drill in the other side of the lathe.
Sorry, I don´t know the english name for it.
Start the lathe and let the drill come to the wood. It must put in the middle of the wood by you first. Later, it center by itselve.
You must put out the drill every 2cm for let the drilled wood came out. Maybe you need compresse air to let it come out.
After you make the hole in the wood, you can let the wood become the size you like.
Then put it in some hot steam for 2 hours. This makes the wood become weak and you can bend ist very easy.
It helps to make a form for bend it, because it must be for two weeks in the form. Then you can be sure, that the wood is really dry again.
Now you can use it for a churwarden.
I hope you could understand my explanation.
If not don´t be shy for ask me more.
If you need, I can draw some pictures for better understand.
I wish you good luck.
Bye.
