Bo Nordh - Pipemaestro (English subs.)

A feature on the Swedish pipe maker Bo Nordh made by the Swedish Television. The maestro passed on in July 2006.
I just made some english subtitles to this documentary because I thought it was something you'd like to see.

Thanks for taking the time to do this Mike! Always a delight watching carver's processes.

[@rollerpodger]

Bo Nordh may he R.I.P

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

Good to see a master at work....and to hear him in his native language...an added layer of appreciation...

[@EastEndPipes]

I could watch pipemaking for hours. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Ron

[@jataylor888]

Absolutely fascinating video. Thanks for sharing it! Cheers, James

[@Volvo2441979]

Tack så mycket & lycka till själv om du nu håller på med pipor!

[@hjrosasq]

Thanks a lot for posting this! fantastic! Cheers, Harvey

[@Flieger671]

@VSLDavid Thank you David. Anyone who tried their hands on making a pipe from a kit can appreciate just how truly brilliant these artisan pipe makers really are. It's great just watching them do their magic... and dream about one day reaching a fraction of their level. :) Cheers, - Mike

[@DailyPuffer]

Saying thank you is not enough. I can't express how much I enjoyed this video and will share it on my blog right now for obvious reasons. A very cordial hug from a fellow pipe smoker, - Bruno

[@Ichbinmuede]

Fantastic. Thank you very much for giving this to us english speakers.

[@Teewinot2]

Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@pipeheadOR]

Wow! Amazing to see the grain come out in the shape! Enjoys the simple, yet fine things in life. Enjoys life itself. Wow! What talent.

[@Naturainfinity]

[@SteveVA100]

Amazing video!

[@mrpipegeek7766]

very entertaining, thanx!

[@ApollyonSG]

I never realized that Bo did his bowls with a hand drill. That's pretty awesome.

[@Alberad08]

I was thrilled by that too!

[@chadbeaver1009]

that's a sanding adapter not a drill that he's going inside the bowl with

@EastEndPipes Same here. Glad you liked it. - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@Naturainfinity Thanks for watching Lady D! Cheers, - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@pipeheadOR Yeah, he had an eye for reading the grain that I find amazing. All the interviews with him that i've read show that he was a real down-to-earth guy. Sad that he's gone. Cheers, - Mike

[@BrassknuckleRide]

UNderbar video!

[@Pipescratch]

Cool vid Mike.

[@Flieger671]

@januaryrainman Thanks! As far as I know, this is it. I could also have watched more. Cheers, - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@buckeyepipesmoker Thank you. I hope you found it inspirational. Cheers, - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@GothamCitySmoker I heard he could spend 3 months working on a single pipe, just to get it perfect. Glad you liked it. - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@Pipepoet Thanks Arko. I had to ask my wife to translate some of what Bo said, because the Skånska dialect is VERY difficult to me. LOL! - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@hjrosasq Glad you like it Harvey. Cheers, - Mike

[@snuggan1]

En mästare Micke. Ha en fin stund. Olle

[@methanbasscover]

The pipe of Valhalla! greating!

[@gregoutcalt6773]

There was no Greater Pipe Maker than He.

[@DLoonie]

Amazing video! Does anyone knows the music of this video? Thank you

[@Flieger671]

@snuggan1 Tack Olle. Jo, Bo var sannerligen en mästare. Tråkigt att han inte finns med oss längre. - M

[@RedBiirdy]

Makes me wanna have a smoke now.

[@Flieger671]

@lilclark72 Thanks Dylan. It's when you see guys like these that you understand how some pipes can cost a fortune. :) - Mike

[@gunsplanet]

Great great .......genius

[@Flieger671]

@pipeargentine Thank you! - M

[@Flieger671]

@BrassknuckleRide Kul att du gillade den!

[@Flieger671]

@ToBaCCoRoW Bo was a true wizard. Cheers, - Mike

[@zozo-rn7de]

It’s too hard to find Bo Nordh pipe

[@Flieger671]

@dohngl Thanks Dean. Well, they say that fancy gadgets doesn't make a better pipe - it just cuts the time making one. I know Bo could spend months on a single pipe just to get that perfect finish. You know as well as I do how much work that's involved in that stage. ;) But yeh, I'm sure Bo kept a few secrets to himself. Cheers mate, - Mike

[@angusgreeneyeslefay9485]

There are the great pipe masters and above the Gods .....behold a God of pipe

[@Flieger671]

@rollerpodger I feel the same. Thanks.

[@Flieger671]

@KyDugong Yeah! Freehand drilling scares the bejeezus out of me... on day perhaps. :) Cheers, - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@gdsnuff What! You didn't buy it? :) I've never seen one of his pipes live. There's an exhibition down in the south of sweden showing some of his pipes but I won't be able to go there. :( Mike

[@Flieger671]

@PipePedaler He sure was. What I wouldn't have paid to get an afternoon class in his pipe shop. - Mike

[@Flieger671]

@Ichbinmuede Glad you liked it. I can't figure out why swedish isn't a world-language. :)

[@cuneytsonmez]

I've seen this 12 years ago for the first time and visited time to time. Since then, I wonder what he said after openning the barbecue (6:23) in Swedish. Would you please write those words here?

[@Volvo2441979]

Nu orkar jag inte leta längre & måste fråga, vad kallas det han penslar på i slutet? Vanlig träolja eller klarlack av nåt slag?

[@dovienya18]

this is nice.. but are there any videos of making a pipe wit just a knife and some sandpaper? cause i cant afford much.

[@thomasneuss7563]

👍

[@MegaDanbo]

you could make a corn cob pipe with just a knife. I've made a few of them that way.

[@Flieger671]

Skaft finns att köpa (kolla hos P.E. Hermann). Dessa är halvfabrikat så visst eget arbete behövs. Man kan också köpa stavar (Ebonit eller Akryl) och bygga själv men det är överkurs. Kolla Pipedia på nätet så hittar du svar på det mesta om piptillverkning. Lycka till!

[@user-qr6cu1qq4c]

Great technician,a "pipe virtuoso" i say.

[@Flieger671]

Well, if you plan to make a pipe out of briar wood I have to warn you that this is a very tough wood. You *can* use a knife, but it has to be razor-sharp... and even then the wood tends to chip easily. The problem with pipes is that they need to be made of really hard wood so that they doesn't burn out so easily as softer wood. I recommend saving up for at least a rasp and a good file. They doesn't cost very much.

[@dial3ctic289]

where are the subtitles???

[@ASmallPoop]

I don't even smoke and I found this very interesting lol

[@Flieger671]

@pokiebaron I think a lot of people feel like you. Cheers, - Mike

[@FalltoAbism]
