Hello everyone.
Does anyone have contact information for Paul Hildebrand in Phoenix AZ? I heard he used to teach pipe making classes. I'd like to contact him but all his information seems to be out of date and his website is not working.

Funny, I was wondering if PHX carver Kim of Penguin Briar was still alive. He was an board and chat room buddy.  |

I'll keep looking for someone. |

Not related to Spartacus' post, but...I tried to get a local notable pipe carver with a good reputation to visit our pipe club to explain the engineering of pipes, and offer advice on what to look for when buying a pipe...I already have a good idea on what to look for, but I thought it would benefit the group...many emails, and he promised to come, but came up with excuse after excuse....one of our pipe club members had a deal to buy a pipe from him and he flaked out...I even met him at the WCPS in Vegas, his pipes sell for a lot and are in demand, but the way he does business, I have no desire to ever buy one of his pipes. |
