Pipe Making Tutorial - Tons of Photos! (Final update, completed pipe!)

*Updates will appear throughout the thread*

So I've been getting a lot of requests for this, so here it is!

I thought it would be a neat idea to update this as I went along. I want to be as detailed as possible, So I'll start at the very beginning.

Most of my pipes start with an idea, usually some sort of feeling that I want to recreate for the user. And I'm thinking that this pipe will start with the idea of high altitude exploration. Standing on a windy mountaintop, pipe hanging from mouth, one hand on your hiking stick, the other blocking the bright sun from your eyes... you get the idea. I found this image a long time ago, and I think it's a good place to start..

The pipe will need a bowl cover, both to hold smoking material in the bowl in windy conditions, and protect a half smoked bowl while you're hiking. I like the idea of a very compact hinge mechanism, since it is more robust. The stem will be very similar, though made from bamboo and a more gradual curve.

Check back for updates daily!

Clean shop, ready for pipe making..

Woods to be used, Amboyna Burl, African Blackwood, Padauk, maybe some red palm...

Drawing the rough shape

Cutting it out with a fret saw

Some rough sanding

Putting it on the 4 jaw chuck and turning the bowl on the lathe

Putting the drill chuck on the lathe and drilling the bowl

Setting the boring tool, and boring the bowl out to the correct diameter

Turning the base of the stem

Drilling the mortise for the stem

Boring the mortise

Completed holes for eventual stem and bowl insert

Coffee break

Rough sanding with the 4 jaw self centering chuck, and padded sanding disc

Roughing the shape out some more with a detail rasp

Refining the shape with some detail files

Some Tools

Switching to a finer grit sanding disc to smooth out the shape a bit and get rid of scratches from the rasp

I lick the wood to check the grain pattern, lookin' nice!

My hand, for scale

Another view of the mortises and partial air holes, with my safety glasses in the background

Rough block of African blackwood in the chuck, this will eventually be the bowl insert

Turning the outside diameter and the face

Drilling a hole to make it easier to turn the inside diameter with hand tools

Custom made turning tool for the inside of bowls

Bowl roughly turned

That's all for today, more tomorrow!

That's awesome! How do you connect the two holes? Like how do you make the vertical piece hollow?

It will be for sale, not sure on the price yet, I have to see how it turns out and how long it takes, most likely $300 +

I was wondering the same thing.

From what I see now there is no horizontal tunnel for connection

Will you guys just wait, the guy obviously knows what he's doing.

To Hod, I enjoy seeing this process, but I'd also like to say from a photographic standpoint, that last pic is real nice.
