A Pipe Cabinet for a Hobbit Farmer

A few months ago I made a pipe that I thought would suit a simple Hobbit farmer. Well, that pipe made it's way back to me and I decided that I needed to make a cabinet as a place to store it along with a long stem pipe my daughters gave me for Christmas years ago. I borrowed some Greene and Greene design elements, such as the cloud lift, as I feel that has a "Hobbit" feel and I wanted it to look like it could be at home in Bag End. I wonder if Tolkien would agree.
Pipe Build - • A "Hobbit Farmer" Pipe...
The wood for this project came from a board that I salvaged at a demolition site. I'm amazed at the quality of lumber that was used in construction nearly 100 years ago. Today it would be very expensive CVG Douglas Fir.

Beautiful cabinet I have taken lots from watching your build thank you.

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you, Karl...that means a lot to me...the biggest reason I do KZbin is to give a little back to all the creators who I have learned from or been inspired by.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

@@StanCrafted no worries mate it was a beautiful build the accuracy was spot on and if that's one thing I have learnt aim to be as accurate as possible and everything is so much easier down the line of a build. I particularly liked the square dowels I will be using this technique. What was the little tool you used to square up the dowle hole? Cheers Karl

[@StanCrafted]

@@karlpopewoodcraft You are spot on with the accuracy up front leads to quality builds down the line comment. When doing square plugs that are less than a quarter of an inch I've had success just using square steel stock to make the opening. I grind the end a little bit to get it started easier and then just tap it in. For this cabinet the plugs and the steel were 3/16 of an inch.

[@KellyConcepts]

The little detailed squares you inset in the corners take this to that next level.

[@StanCrafted]

Thanks, Shawn...these are the types of projects that I like to make the most...but, I don't feel like I do the videos that great...Lots of things to learn...

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Only one word Stan exquisite! Never during the video did I feel like I wanted to fast forward, you had me from the start. The lumber is lite a pin stripe suit...

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you, Harki...that was awfully nice of you to say. Hadn't ever thought of Doug Fir being like a pin stripe suit...but that's exactly what it is. Hope your wife is feeling well!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

StanCrafted thanks Stan, she is recovering slowly but nicely. Slow and steady is the trick...

[@DavidAdamsen]

Wow, beautiful woodworking and videography. Very well done! Thanks for inspiring!

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you, David...that means a lot to me. Cheers.

[@MarkMcCluney]

Gosh! It's a few years since I saw a smoker's cabinet! Beautiful job Stan, I particularly liked the little studs and how you made them. All the attention to detail is a real inspiration - I feel guilty that I'm not out there making sawdust right now. Cheers mate.

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you so much, Mark, for the kind words...if my videos are an inspiration to at least one other person then I can be be happy to know I've paid it forward just a little bit for all that I've received.

Hello my friend. Good idea and great design. The wardrobe was really beautiful. You did a very good job. The biggest thing is to always do innovative work and help people with ideas. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Warm hug. Yours truly.....

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you, Sammy! If it pleases a grumpy old math teacher a dwarf might just like it as well :-)

[@TheWoodYogi]

I had to skip through this video due to time limits, but I intend to watch it through again later. Fantastic cabinet Stan 😊 The grain orientation is so good and really adds to the beauty. I have a lot of reclaimed wood that I recently removed from a friends warehouse. A lot of shelves. He was going to destroy it all and gave me have the chance to take it apart and even transported it for me. I will try and make the most of it all. Especially after seeing this video 😊 ॐ

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply. I got the wood for this build from my old school building when it was demolished. Unfortunately, much of the valuable wood was still in the building when they tore it down. I can't wait to see what you come up with for projects with the wood that you got.

[@AndyCPugh]

I think a hobbit would be very pleased with that.

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you, Andy...I appreciate the comment...I could see it hanging in Bag End :-)

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you, Richard! These are the types of projects that I really enjoy...I just struggle so much to film them in an adequate way...I guess I need to figure out a way to make videos that doesn't involve editing on my iPhone! :-)

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Great build, Stan! I really like the extra contour detail you put into the doors.

[@StanCrafted]

Thanks! I'm a fan of all things craftsman style and Greene and Greene so cloud lifts are something I tend to gravitate to.

[@goblinsandflagons]

Outstanding sir! As a fan of the Longbottom leaf, I would be proud to have a cabinet of this quality in my home. Well done!

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you very kindly! I know this video hasn't done really well...but in terms of pieces I have made...I believe this one might be my favorite. Uploading a new video tonight that I think you might like.

[@KirstiePervinDavies]

Thank you so much...I'm also a big fan of Greene and Greene...all things Craftsman style really...someday I'd love to live in a house in that style.

[@KirstiePervinDavies]

StanCrafted ...that would be amazing!!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Wow! that is some beautiful lumber you reclaimed. And you turned it into a really cool cabinet. Great job!

[@StanCrafted]

Thanks, Grant. Maybe it's because I live in a place surrounded by it...but to me there is something about Douglas Fir that I just really, really like...it's a bit of pain to work with at times because it's splintery...but it sure looks nice to me.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

@@StanCrafted I've never had the pleasure of working with it. Maybe one day I'll come across an old building being demolished and maker a find like you 😁

[@StanCrafted]

@@TheGrantAlexander I sure hope that happens for you, Grant. You've got some serious skills that would do the wood proud...absolutely loved your toy hammer video!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Stan, What a wonderful cabinet and a wonderful video. As others have already said the small black "button" inserts are a touch of genius. Really, really enjoyed this one. Cheers, Huw

[@StanCrafted]

Thanks, Huw...I'm a big fan of the Greene and Greene style plug and the cloud lifts. Not sure it was really designed for Douglas Fir...I think Mahogany or Cherry is more of what they had in mind...but I thought I'd give it a whirl.

[@PinetopJackson]

You got a LOT of usable lumber from that one beam! Is the entire cabinet made from that single piece? And is there a cool story behind it, like it came from Grandpa's barn, or salvaged from the demolition of the old library?

[@StanCrafted]

Thank you very much. I got everything but the top from that one piece of old 2x6. The wood came out of the old school building that I used to work in. When it was being demolished I asked if I could salvage some wood. Repeatedly I was told no by our school officials. Finally, I called the demolition company and asked them...they agreed as long as I didn't hold them liable if I were injured. I got quite a bit of wood...but only had one night to get it. A friend and I got as much as we could, but it was only a fraction. Mostly it was clear vertical grain Doug Fir like this. I only have a couple of boards left. Trying to save them for special projects. Thanks for stopping by.

[@PinetopJackson]

@@StanCrafted hooray, that is exactly the type of story I was hoping for! I love using reclaimed or salvaged wood, but usually the story behind em is just, "eh, I found it on the side of the road!"
