Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Gandalf's Pipe!

Using the techniques mentioned here, Adam produced a very fine copy of Gandalf's Pipe, that is of the Hobbit fame. However, please keep in mind that the materials and techiques used here are not the best for a pipe you want to actully want to smoke.

  1. Using pine, with its high resin content I don't feel it is a good choice for smoking any substance.
  2. Adam used a mirrowed copy which he glued together. Having used glue for the stem shouldn't be a problem, but using glue for the pipes bulb kind of concerns me.
