Christian Ruetz | ruetzpipes | Pipemaker from Tyrol, Austria | since 2014

I am honored that Tobias Geisel invited me to his wonderful podcast "Strandkorbgedöns" - I've already created a few pipes while listening to his podcast :) 

Thanks for your time and the kind words about me, Toby - I can only return the compliment: a very nice guy! 

Have fun while listening!

Eva Saxl from Tirol TV visited my ruetzpipes workshop – thanks for a diverting interview and the great pictures you took! The video you can see here – unfortunately only in German.

Tom, a cool outdoor guy and newage viking, asked me to create a pipe for his adventures in the wilderness. He took a cool video about smoking it the first time – you can see it here.

Aside from the fact that the podcast "Strandkorbgedöns"is worth listening to not only for pipe smokers, Tobias Geisel also a really likeable guy – together with Folmar Schiek from atelier9punkt9 he recorded a special episode about the International Pipe Show in Stuttgart. I feel flattered about the nice words they say about me and my work.
Here you can listen to it.

Wanna see how a tobacco pipe is made? Acrylic rod, a briar beauty and a lot of handcraft and passion. A short self-made video about my occupation – let's name it: lifeblood. You can see it here.

March 24, 2021: In their special episode Betreffend: Pfeifenkraut  I got to meet the great guys from my favourite Lord of the Rings podcast – Hör die Ringe: Ein unerwarteter Podcast. I answer questions about pipe making – and we philosophize about the wonderful world of J. R. R. Tolkien. Listen up! Here you can find the episode.
