Many pipe makers in the US started out with a small Book called Pimo's guide to Pipe Crafting at Home [http://www.pimopipecraft.com/book.html]. This book has a lot of helpful tips on pipe making with minimal tooling. Also helpful is the article [[Pipe Making For The Rank Amateur]], by Bob Everett.

Pre-bored pipe making kits with pre-fit stems are also a good way to start, especially if you don't have access to many tools, or previous woodworking experience. Pimo offers kits, but many pipe makers recommend the ones from American Smoking Pipe Co ([[Mark Tinsky]]). Available [http://www.amsmoke.com/Services/PipeKit.html here]. Or the ones from [[Tim West]] (J.H. Lowe) available [http://www.jhlowe.com/briar.htm here].
