FAQ's: "What type of glue do you use?" I use Titebond Type II Dark Wood Glue. It's the same as the regular Type II, but dyed to dry a dark caramel color. I think this might be the best choice for exotic hardwoods since they tend to be darker than most domestics. "What type of finish do you use?" I use Salad Bowl Finish, which is not only non-toxic, but food-safe as well. In conjunction with that, I try to sand up to 600 grit whenever possible, which will give you a better finish. "What about using [some type of wood] as a bowl instead of Cherrywood or Briar?" I take my technical cues from the tobacco pipe industry, and Briar is king with Cherrywood being second. Aside from Cherrywood, I also use Gaboon Ebony occasionally, but that's it. I don't currently have personal experience with any other type of wood for bowls. Check out this link for acceptable alternative woods to use as bowls: pipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_Woods_Used_For_Pipe_making "How do you clean a wooden pipe?" With a pipe cleaner, of course! If you'd like to harvest resin, you can do that with paper clips and such so long as you're careful not to dig into the wood; that would give you splinters in your resin, and that's no fun. I *DO NOT* recommend digging around the bowl for resin as this might disturb the "char layer" (the burned interior of the bowl) which is essential to a prolonging the lifespan of your pipe. "Where do you get your wood?" I've been getting it from Woodcraft.com, but I think I'll go through www.bellforestproducts.com/ the next time I get wood. Bell Forrest seems to have better prices.

Hey gary I have a very important question. Could you make a pipe out of a standard piece of 2x4?
What are your thoughts on bone as a bowl/stem material?
@dawncheriewoodworth34495 жыл бұрын
@@Th3Class1c that wouldn't be a terrible idea. Pine is a very soft wood so it wouldn't be durable enough. And pine resin is very flammable. I make shavings of pine to start my campfires. Not to mention pine is very often treated with chemicals. Horrible for the lungs.
@anubispup47604 жыл бұрын
@@stanervin6108 I've done that. I wouldn't reccomend by way of breathing in bone dust or the burning bond itselt since bone tends to be pretty brittle. Antler isn't a bad choice however for a stem but not the bowl.

Right on, man! I’m glad I could help you out with something you like doing! What I love about wooden pipes is that they’re functional art that doesn’t shatter like glass if they get mishandled. I’d eventually like to make something mechanical out of wood. Future content, future content. But look, as an adult I have to say the following: please don’t smoke out of any of your pipes for another 5 years or so. 🚭 I’m sure you’ve seen my wrist tattoo and that’s serious business. The last cigarette I smoked is 5 years behind me and I’ll never have another if I can help it. I’ve in fact given up pipe tobacco as well. My doctor has actually diagnosed me with respiratory issues that are no doubt related to cigarettes. Breathing is good, cigarettes are bad. I don’t regret cigarettes, but that’s primarily because I was 19 when I started smoking and it was a conscious decision that no one pressured me into. In fact, the guy I got my first cigarette from begged me not to do it. I’d ask the same of you. Please don’t smoke. 🚭

Here's a question. I'm wanting to build a flat-bottomed 'wizard style' pipe with a long stem. How do I go about figuring out what size and angle to make the stem so that I can put it down and have it self-balance? Another alternative is a small hinged metal insert on the underside of the base that could fold out towards the stem to help it balance, but I'm unsure how I could properly secure that to the wood without using glue or screws. My best guess thus far is maybe small metal 'biscuit' tabs to hold it in.

Hey nice job and thank you for your work. I've made pipes for a few years then stopped after legalization. ( long story) any ways you start your pipes very similar to myself but after losing my pencil lines and over carving my marks I started using a hole saws to mark my outer do not pass mark. I'd centre and cut a small 1/16" ring . As long as the hole saw fits the block there's no measuring needed. Then I centre my Forstner bits for my bowl. I carve with a Fordom, a hand help rotating sander and wand with a foot pedal for speed. I still need something for the bottoms Chamber bits are hard to locate. I just thought maybe my tip could save you some time measuring.
