How to Make a Tobacco Pipe | A Beginner is Making a Thing | Process Walk Through

For several weeks I was contemplating a plan to make a tobacco pipe. I do not smoke and do not want to promote anything like that, but I was so facinated by the potential process. While there are so many different way of making a pipe, I was specially looking on how to do it on a lathe. At least some parts on a lathe. So, I finally did enough KZbin-based research, created a model and engineering drawing (let me know if you would want to have a copy), and decided to do it. Ideally, pipes should be made from Briar wood and from a specific part (I think, best one is from a burl). But people also make them from other hardwoods and I happened to have a nice piece of spalted mahogany. In the video, I walk through all the steps of the process, as it, semi surprisingly to me, had quite a number of steps, and show a few problems I faced along the way. In the end, I was quite pleased with the result and actually made another pipe, which didn't have problems of the first one. I will probably make another video for that one.

[@angelajohnson2184]

1st attempt was well done. Thanks for the video.

just remember you want the hole for your stem to come into contact as close to center bottom of your bowl as you can .. its better that way for the flow / billow of smoking the pipe

Thanks so much for the video! Where did you get the chuck and drill bits? :) I have a lathe but don't have the chuck and drill head bits :)

[@A2woodArt]

The chuck, Nova g3, I got on target.com. At the time they had the cheapest price. Cove bits just on amazon

Hello, thanks for sharing the video. i have a doubt: Does the stem inner diameter varies withe the stem`s length? or can I use 4mm drill for any stem length, or longer the stem, bigger the inner diameter?
