Irish Clay Pipe Making, County Roscommon, Ireland

[@Jericho297]

Currently getting ready to start making my own clay pipes, nice to see others keeping it alive in a cigarette world.

[@nimitz1739]

Classics never get old!!

[@samuelglasgow7583]

I bought mine here 8 years ago and it still smokes great!

[@Tictacpanter]

I AM YOUR LEADER yup. Soaked it in whiskey and it really goes nicely with navy flake.

[@Minime163]

Are you boys American I'm Irish and happy to hear you smoke your duidín's as the clay pipes are known here but I bet their not as nice as your corncob pipes I have a country gentleman and it's the best pipe I have to smoke.

[@Tictacpanter]

@@Minime163 Canadian. I have had a couple cob pipes. “Merschaum of America” as they are sometimes called. They also smoke pretty decently. I find the clay smokes hot in the hand but cooler in the mouth. The cob smokes pretty average. Good cheap pipes.

[@ericgeorge76]

I have Irish ancestry and just had to add one of these to my pipe collection. So cool that they use the same 19th century molds. Thank you for sharing this interesting video!

[@glilbutt]

This is the best ceramic pipe making I have seen so far! Very educational as far as history is concerned. Makes me wish I had a mold. Thats pretty cool!

[@Простойрусскийпатриот]

Okay google, how to make a mold?

[@Minime163]

I'm just up the road in shligo and its nice to hear the clay pipes are funcional i got mine on Wednesday and I'll certainly be having a poof on it from time to time.

[@violinoscar]

I am always fascinated by the different ways people earn a livelihood. I think this one is top of my list for the most unusual. Thanks for posting a great video. Cheers

[@kensington25]

Thank you so much Harry 😊

[@KingStreetBluegrass]

We enjoyed Ethel's demonstration very much, just came back from playing the Festival there, fascinating!

I have a picture of my great great grandfather holding one of these

[@kensington25]

Hi there, I have now added the URL for the Claypipe Centre website. Ethel makes excellent pipes as you can see in the video. Thanks so much for watching and your kind comments. All the best to you :)

[@wicklowpiper4097]

I ordered one with harp design on it ,they look so well made and I'm excited to get it . I do smoke pipes but don't know whether to smoke it.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Very cool and informative video. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@antomanelven]

very informative, very cool!

[@richgouette]

reason#133 why Ireland is great: clay pipes!

[@christophermckinnon4920]

Cool history video.

[@DrHavok1]

Lol I'm smoking one of these at this very moment bought in Ireland by my best friend. Smokes pretty well

[@ericblankenship6564]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but would it be possible to use a hard wax center mould, press clay into both halves of your pipe mould and then just melt the wax out in the kiln?

[@Knobbynomates]

Yes.

[@jimmyhawkins9361]

these pipes are awesome i need one of these amazing things

[@wadepatton2433]

Wow, she's very good. Neat how they say "kiln". My local dialect says "keel" like a boat, instead of her "killin". I'm going to make a few by hand, primitive style. This was a good video just the same.

[@sasquatchpiper291]

That is so cool. Thanks for the video

[@83project]

Good job 👍

[@0IDaveCouch]

I always wanted to know how they made the clay pipes. You see them being dug up on Time Team every now and then. Thanks Will! :)

[@JOSEPHMATTHEWHOLLAND]

Awesome 💯

[@pierpa_76pierpaolo]

I wanted to know where I could get a mold like that? Let me know it's urgent. Thank you very much.

[@RicTic66]

The River Thames fore shore at low tide is littered with clay pipe stems and bowls dating from the 1600s to early 20th c. Many 19th c bare the makers name and location e.g Woolwich, Deptford, Battersea, Dublin etc and are highly ornate with military badges, fouled anchors, football boots, horses heads and all manner of commemorative details. Interesting and in many cases beautiful artifacts of a bygone age we sometimes forget they were the dog-ends of their day lol

[@catfeline1530]

All those old molds are lost or gone

[@samshahrokhi5635]

so good

[@abdulkahir]

A beautiful hand made pipe smoking ! How much price this one Porcelain pipe ? With Pound. Thanks

[@GeoRick]

Hi William. I am making a video for my KZbin channel about clay pipes and was wondering if I could please use a small part of this video? Would that be possible?

[@kensington25]

Hi there, absolutely. Please go ahead 😊

[@GeoRick]

@@kensington25 thank you most appreciated.

[@kensington25]

@@GeoRick You’re very welcome 😊

[@JEEROFUKU]

How lovely is that😍🍀👍🏻

[@marktrusty8163]

What kind of clay do they use I love this

[@mikeadrover5173]

I enjoyed this video; I live in the east cost of the US, near New York, and I am a pipe smoker. And a woodworker, I am currently employed by a church. And commissioned to make a small wooden crucifix/cross, I am sorry, rambling. I would like to purchase working clay pipes, so when friends stop-buy the shop, they can have a pipe of tobacco and keep the pipe. Like the days of old. Let me know if this is something your company would be interested-in. Ten at a time to fill a rack. Mike A Drover.

[@pierpa_76pierpaolo]

Evening. I am looking for a professional mold to create plaster and clay pipes. Can you help me about it? I need them to open my own store but without them there is nothing. Please let me know. Thank you very much.

[@johncurrey9287]

any guess to what clay she uses, Most of my ceramics would break with something that thin when you tap it on the counter like that.

[@HPsawus]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKfPn6OsiZd6j7c in this video the fella says what clay he’s using. I don’t work with clay so I’m not entirely sure what name he said

[@HPsawus]

He says it at 55 seconds

[@CatholicFranciscan95]

or are these even meant to be used for smoking in general or are they more for decoration?

[@russsherwood5978]

where can i buy the equipment to get started making clay pipes like them?thumbs-up on the video

[@ahndrhevohn]

how to make clay like that? what's the ingredients making that kind of clay? or where can i buy that clay, i wanna make one, THANKYOU!

[@stuartwilliams9868]

Ethel buys in her clay from abroad, Scotland I think. You can contact her and sure she would give you the details. Original clay pipes made in Knockcroghery were produced from local sources of clay. So the clay in original antique pipes is quite different from that of Ethel's pipes. Also, Ethel used original 19th century iron moulds for her pipes.

[@gagnradr]

Her in Denmark ball clay is called pipe clay so I guess you can use ball clay maybe adjusted with china clay. I think you can use may types of clay, but I would choose one with as little free silica as possible due the thermal expansion properties.

[@homesteadonomics]

Great vid 😀

[@drewbriggs7749]

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!

[@brysennico8794]

@Drew Briggs Instablaster =)

[@drewbriggs7749]

@Brysen Nico i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@drewbriggs7749]

@Brysen Nico It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass!

[@brysennico8794]

@Drew Briggs No problem xD

[@pierpa_76pierpaolo]

Clay or plaster?

[@7985mgt]

Hi Ethel, we were digging in the garden tonight here in Laois and we found the stem of a clay pipe by Curley from knockcroghery. :)

[@Minime163]

We have four or five clay pipe heads that we found around an old cottage on our land and the design's are beautiful.

[@danielnathaniekclark]

hey william i would like to be able to purchase a clay pipe mold. do you know if they sell molds as seen in this video?

[@georgewillems32]

I made my own Dutch 17th Century claypipe (tavern pipe).

[@peterhodges6684]

I'm going to need two, one for decoration and one to smoke please...

[@davidwarriortube]

Awesome!

[@kensington25]

Hi Dave, cheers mate. How are you? I wondered how they were made too. Ethel is a lovely lady :)

[@alexanderandersson8114]

Very like

[@edsoncarpa9987]

Onde consigo comprar um molde desse?

[@nikkip4033]

How can I get one of those molds?

[@mrpipegeek7766]

clay... very interesting!

[@J_Squatch]

I love how she says "Kiln"

[@Jungleland33]

We also say filum for film 😆

[@bruceh9105]

I find most clay pipe draft holes need to be a little wider.

[@whitefordpipeshandmadebymi7238]

Very cool would love to order one but the link in the description dosent work ☹️

[@kensington25]

Hi there, please check the link in the description which should take you to the website. Many thanks :)

[@fehquig]

[@sorcierenblk3000]

awesome

[@davidscagnetti3651]

Where I can find the Molde tool?

[@jenniferbrandt4782]

david scagnetti Pure luck. I've looked for years with no results. But surprisingly a lot of 5 multi piece molds came up on Ebay relatively cheap and I was able to get them. Just keep looking.

[@wadepatton2433]

Make one.

[@anasqai]

What is the weight if clay?

[@anasqai]

Looks light the way it's knocked, can i subject-buy and have ez job anyway? If clay, the paint will be what colour anyway?

[@lifetimesofjcm8582]

huh, no info on the company and where i can order one...

[@kensington25]

The info on the company and how to order one are in the video description with a link to the website. Many thanks.

[@jrvictory2247]

I'm an Irishman stuck over here in the U.S. and would love to know if you have a web site that I may purchase some of your pipes. Trying to find a great Irish clay pipe is almost impossible...thank you for your video and love your pipes...

[@markirish7599]

[@thebannedgreenman8939]

A clay pipe can be hard on your teeth I find.

[@GrantedCTM]

However, you're not supposed to eat it.

[@thebannedgreenman8939]

FOI.tv Gripping it in your teeth to smoke it , grates on your enamel.....

[@GrantedCTM]

Explains why so many of the Victorians had bad teeth

[@Robert-xs3lt]

+Theban Ned Greenman Just wrap the mouthpiece with some sewing string and you'll be fine.

[@redneckwookie]
