Bushcraft project: bush pipe

[@Just_Chuck_It]

My grandpa used to make corn cob pipes and sell them. He smoked from a corn cob pipe he had made that lasted him 20 years. When He died and that corn cob pipe was still usable and in good condition. I kept it and placed in the shadow box we made for him. Making your own kit items gives you a connection with the item. It encourages you to take care of it and not loose/abuse it. Great video! Have a great day.

What was the cause (if any ) of is passing

[@alanrogers8535]

[@CiaofCleburne]

Very nice! U are skilled at carving. So precise

[@peterlender1287]

super video and handmade pipe...thank you. Peter

[@krefg2717]

Wow is beautiful 😍

[@austinmckenzie6252]

just curious. why did you wrap the base of the stem? looks or was there a function? Thanks for the vid btw! enjoyed it!

[@ignisbushcraft]

Austin McKenzie Wrapped the stem mostly for the aesthetic, it breaks the monotone look abit. It can also sometimes help with keeping the stem in place if you bore a whole too big for the stem to fit properly in the pipe bowl.

@@ignisbushcraft i had exactly that same question. thanks, excellent video

[@AurenthOfficial]

is that leaves? your smoking?

[@ducttapetech]

Nice! What kind of tobacco you smoking. I like English blends myself

[@ignisbushcraft]

ducttapetech in this case I was smoking some dried “winterized” Labrador Tea leaves. When the leaves start to die and they are browned up they get this unique molasses like flavour (almost like rum twist tobacco) Labrador tea leaves have a similar flavour to tobacco except they make a more “raspy” smoke.

[@ducttapetech]

Cool!

[@anasqai]

What wood is it? If strong even if have coal, can i subject-buy and have ez job making it?

[@Thicbladi]

So what are some things I might be able to use for the stem besides the reed

[@ignisbushcraft]

No I’m not good 10 years ago Depends on where you are and the resources you have. There are tons of plants that have hollow stems, like bamboo, river cane etc. You can also use pithy woods/plants, like alder and Mullen and just burn/scrape out the pith with a straightened out wire. You could also split a small stick and just cut grooves in the centre, put the halves back together with cordage and then carve it down into a stem. Thanks for watching!

[@Thicbladi]

Ignis Bushcraft thank you found myself doing the last one since none of the other things grow naturally where I live

[@mazadan]

Nice pipe. Now for the tobacco I would use mullein

[@skorch9094]

And Bearberry

[@Puddlez325]

You can use birch for pipe making ?

[@ignisbushcraft]

Yes absolutely, however, if you use the pipe very often, it won’t last very long.

[@Puddlez325]

@@ignisbushcraft Thank you for replying on a 4 year old video I really enjoyjed your working style I will have to try some birch I have tons of it on my land

[@DenAlexV]

Из берёзы?

[@experimentalsurvival7142]

Birch is so nice to carve, I used oak. rip. 😂

[@None_of_your_business666]

great!

[@silentoutsidebob5815]

Good Job my friend 🤜🔥🤛

[@palereaper]

What wood did you use for the Straw part?

[@predator4151]

That wood wet like a clt yet..

[@huiledenoix8014]

I have the same knife

[@dragonmaster6251]

Is it the Mora 106 or the 120 I've trying to figure it out

[@huiledenoix8014]

@@dragonmaster6251 when i wrote this comment i thought it was a home made knife handle with, let's say, a brisa blade. Like mine :)

[@lucapaulussen170]

How did you find that hollow stick and is it common in Virginia

[@ignisbushcraft]

Luca Paulussen The plant is a type of tall reed grass, they grow readily in wetlands and marshes. As I live in Canada, I’m not sure how common this type of reed is in Virginia, but it’s almost guaranteed you can find a type of reed if you look along creeks, rivers and marshes.

[@brucecoulda1596]

Nice video. How did you make the handle for the drill bit? Just glue it in there?

[@ignisbushcraft]

Bruce Coulda Thanks for watching, I drilled the hole in the handle with a smaller bit while the wood was still green and used abit of crazy glue just to keep things in place while it dried and the wood shrunk onto the bit. So the bit is held in place mostly by pressure and friction, makes things easier if I ever have to replace the handle.

[@denismandu4578]

Incredible pipe. i'm brazilian and i really appreciate your work. What tools are used

[@ignisbushcraft]

Denis Mandu I’m glad you like my work. For the tools, I used: -Morakniv carving blade (with a homemade handle) -a broken drill bit, though an awl is what I usually use -Bacho Laplander saw (in orange colour) Hope this answers your question, cheers.

[@geenbijnaam3038]

Is that a metal drill bit?

[@karvast5726]

Yeah

[@Marto-fo2pb]

👍👍👍

[@marissastepfew554]

Try putting mint leaf in it and burn it

[@ВадимКузнецов-э5б]

... вообще-то из берёзы трубки делать не рекомендую,- при курении выделяется дёготь!!!

[@sevensorrows4904]

Smoke some mulien

[@Thicbladi]

Seven Sorrows I wish I could but doesn’t grow naturally where I live

[@lucas17rouge]

It must be disgusting :/
