Woodworking, Hand Carved Tobacco Pipe, How To

[@arponto]

My sister who had stopped by my house overheard your comment about the lack of brains and modern design. She was SO pissed off. I loved it! Thank you for your comment!

[@brian6391]

I swear I have pstd from drilling so many failed stem holes over the years. I make exotic style peace pipes with pencil thin stems at 10 inches usually, I drive the bit through my stem wood and leave the bit in and put it straight into my wood lathe and mill it down it's a pain in the ass because of the failures when I'm so close to finishing or the bit sealing inside of the stem and not being able to remove it but when I succeed it's so satisfying and it's sanded starting with 250 grit and ending with 1500 grit so it's glass smooth.

[@dereka4853]

You are one of the most talented 1 percenters I've ever seen. XD

[@lynthie8920]

from my own attempts at it, yeah it is hard. I've been waiting for a drill press before I do another try. Awesome honest vid.

[@troypeacock2885]

you published this video 3 days away from my birthday! Sweet Christmas!

[@tammydingus1512]

Didn't know they had tools like that lmbo! I am Cherokee and I make pipes by hand and from nature that my friend is not a peace pipe!

[@triumphmanful]

so how did the "Naturals" drill the holes ?

[@triumphmanful]

I had to cut my pipe stems into fourths. Then drill them. Then I made matching countersunk interlocking ends. Male and female. The system works well and can be taken apart and stored in a parfletch bag.

[@tylerwitty6361]

+triumphmanful split limb , notch trough,put back together and wrap with green wet leather ..

[@samuelzeilinger8615]

triumphmanful thank you for the idea!!

[@Tejasmed]

The first pipes were usually made by splitting a piece of seasoned hardwood branch. Each side had a channel cut in it that made the tube. When the two pieces were put together, they were carved with tapers on each end. The smoking end was shaped to better fit the mouth. The other end was to fit on to the special made pipe bowl. Most of the pipe bowls, the authentic ones were made from the sacred bloodstone. Hand carved. The end opposite the smoking end was carved precisely to fit into the side tube of the bloodstone pipe bowl. Usually the pipe was taken apart and kept in a leather pouch carefully wrapped up. Both the wood and the bowl were fragile. The two halves of wood would often be glued together with egg white, or with a tree resin.then they would be wrapped with wet rawhide and when dry, they would be bound together. Red Willow bark was mostly used, as true tobacco was rare. Flutes on the other hand were made in a similar fashion, but people ask how did they put the holes in. Native American flutes are not like any in any place in the world as they have two chambers. Only the rim blown ones are straight tubes. They used some very unique methods for making the holes. Some were burned in with a charred pointed stick. some with a pointed stone tied to a stick...It was not till a European left a gun rod that they had a metal rod to use to burn holes with. I have been making branch flutes for over 10 years now. but with modern tools. The pipe the illustrator is making is just one style of pipe that was used. Toughest part was obtaining the sacred blood stone. to shape the bowl. A pipe from just hard wood would not last long. Try to remember, the pipe ceremony is not something to take lightly. it is a serious ritual just as serious as a Catholic taking communion. It was just one of the ways to mediate to connect with the Creator.

[@blackmath8]

Would love to see another vid of how to care and clean this piece of beauty

[@zakizainon7460]

If you don't want it to wear out, make a paste of coffee powder (I use Nescafe Classic Coffee), sweetened creamer and some chocolate powder. Put some water and mix it. Make sure it's not too watery cause you want it to stick to the pot. Put it inside the pot and let it dry for 1 day. Make sure not to block the smoke exit hole. You should be able to overcome the wear and tear issue.

[@spencerwells1328]

how's that work?

[@coltonregal1797]

Bradford pear wood is also good for pipe-making. The contents of the heartwood form a heat-resistant sort of putty on the inside of the bowl after a few smokes. The grain also looks quite fetching.

[@thatsyaboi8185]

and luckily there is plenty of it to go 'round

[@RockinChairGoblin]

Try out using wood burl in the future. The grain comes out wonderful, and it lasts far longer in terms of use. The twisted grain of a wood burl allows for the heating and cooling with a rarer chance of cracking over time.

[@wildmanstudios6534]

I enjoyed this video. I also thought of cherry for my first pipe. I don't know if it will be a long one though.

[@cricket7162]

I wasnt really interested in making a peace pipe. I found you more interesting to watch. My pipe im making is Manzanita wood and mine are made completely by hand, no power tools what so ever. I find it more satisfying when i can carve, build and make things without power.

[@JohnDoe-co7kc]

me too...

[@DanteYewToob]

I've had to do that for a few things, like sword handles for fun and I use my drill with a level on top, clamp the wood level, drill a bit, turn the wood half or 1/4 turn and repeat. I had about 1/16 in margin of error on 9 inches of wood so not bad at all. as long as you watch that level and keep turning the wood to limit veering too far one way.

[@sharpfactory3705]

Wonderful pipe

[@moisesrobles7884]

This is cool as hell thank you I will make one it looks really neat hats off to you

[@Spence1976]

"Nobody with a brain likes modern design" - that's how you got my like Sir.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Cherry wood is a common alternative to the briar wood that most pipes are usually made with, so you made a good choice there. My channel is mostly about European style pipes and pipe tobacco, but now I'm severely tempted to try to make a peace pipe for myself!

[@TheSamuraiCarpenter]

+Stuff&Things You will love the peace pipe. Cooler smoke and it is so comfortable to hold.

[@SaultiBalldeip]

That's what she said...hey ooooh

[@Ленад-е1ш]

[@SaultiBalldeip]

"Pack a bowl" eh...totally a "tobacco" smoking term for sure haha. Welcome to Victoria.

[@asahearts1]

Udo Donotron The bowl refers to the part of the pipe which is filled, so yeah. It would be packing a bowl of rosemary if he decided to pack his bowl with rosemary.

[@eduarsalgado6554]

Love this guy

[@lyndonreddick1888]

A soapstone insert would make a great bowl, non-burning.

[@stephenstrader1577]

If cherry wood pipes are as pleasant to smoke as cherry wood is to burn in the wood stove, I’d say that it’ll make a wonderful smoking pipe with that added cherry wood sweetness! 😮‍💨💨

[@anasqai]

Will have many sizes anyway right? Can i subject-buy and have ez job making all?

[@oodhamman]

Cool video.

[@panzerpete3977]

I need to make one for camping. I'll be sure to enjoy the hell out of it with completely legal boring nasty tobacco and deffinetly not illegal devil's lettuce that is way more fun than regular tobacco but illegal so I wouldn't ever dream of smoking it.

[@tiffanihenry5437]

Either way, yes its a ceremonial pipe, but you have given great advice and useful tips to take what we need and do our own...i prefer to work by hand it imbues your energy into the pipe...but thank you for your video! I really dont like negative comments, especially those from Native descent who are szupposed to be guiding, not hurting feelings...so...thank you, my friend...nice video :)

[@ubiquitousbaker5562]

fyi, use beeswax twine around the base of the pipe so it fits more snuggly. also, you can clean your pipe better.

[@Iwoodlikethat]

@the samurai carpenter why didnt you just drill the hole with the foot long drill bit on one side, flip the block around and meet up on the other side then plug the hole?

[@FANG1950]

I din't think it possible...but you proved me right....something as beautiful and the arched bridge gets minimal attention video...but the pipe gets 2 vids in detail....

How do you get the tobacco to not travel down the stem while you inhale?

[@WestonTeli]

you can boil the stem for about an hour to be able to bend the wood

[@tatanasd]

Could you put the specifics please? Of the pipe and the bowl.

[@spookisghostly4619]

[@adamko3113]

What type of the "drill bit" are you using ? I've heard it is about a foot long, but how "wide" is it ? 0,5cm ? or? (sorry about my english) Thanks! :)

cherry is often used for making pipes, so if there are people saying it is not suitable, then they are just being snobs

[@xmoroseguyx]

***** I do believe it`s common to see cherry wood pipes for sale, I guess though that any wood that can withstand the heat would be suitable, I do remember a show called " How it`s made " Had an episode showing the construction of high quality pipe being made from the root of a Mediterranean heather shrub, The episode is uploaded here on You Tube

[@someting9205]

How did the natives drill that hole with no modern tools??

[@legofanguyvid]

Its actually ingenious really, they would take a termite or some wood eating grub and seal one end with the grub inside so the grub would eat through the soft wood center and make a nice long stem, though there where also stone bit drills you would use a bow drill with to get the same affect

[@grocperez6012]

This is my observation only, it is not meant to embarrass or criticize anyone, their person or their beliefs. First of all: there is no such thing as a "Native American Peace Pipe". The term "peace pipe" is a misrepresentation of a "sacred pipe", which is exactly that, a sacred pipe is used in traditional ceremonies or prayers. The pipe serves as the conduit (the pipe bowel holds and burns the tobbaco) between the actor and the smoke...which carries the thoughts or prayers to Spirit and completes the spiritual connection. Also a true sacred pipe is never displayed, sold, bartered, or photographed as that would neutralize the sacredness of the pipe. Again, this not meant to criticize anyone but is offered in the spirit of academia.
