Anyone here turn smoker's pipes?
I do, and just interested in finding out if anyone else does. I turn most of
mine from cherry, various shapes and sizes. I use a 4 jaw chuck turning the stem in one direction, then the bowl in the other. bill otten |

Bill,
I am a pipe smoker myself. By coincidence I was going to pose the same question as you ! I'll just sit back and wait to see the responses you get. I have a 4 jaw chuck for my lathe although I have never used it. It was meant for metal turning. How do you avoid marking the wood when you re-mount it for the second phase of tuning?

I do also. I drill the tobacco chamber and air way. turn the shank and the
bowl. Complete the preliminary on a disk sander and lots of hand sanding to finish. Andy "Bill Otten" wrote in message ... I do, and just interested in finding out if anyone else does.

there is a professional pipe maker in Texas that has a special jig setup for
drilling both holes on the lathe, but i'm not sure if he also turns the bowl on it. he only uses briar...that's the best wood for pipes. i hand carved 3 pipes and have another in the works. it's a lot of fun and you can turn out some intricate carvings on them. good luck with your turning. rich "Bill Otten" wrote in message ...

In one chunk.....I usually turn the bowl first, then the stem. Yes, it
requires rotating the piece and getting it chucked up correctly in line, but it's not that tough to do. bill otten "Chuck" wrote in message ...

Smoker's pipes making always fascinated me. When walking to school as a kid I would stop and look at the store window displaying raw material and the pipes when finished. Today, after all these years I am looking for information on how to make smoker's pipes. I would appreciate to be pointed in the right direction to find enough information to begin making pipes for personnel satisfaction. Hi, Tyler has some good info at http://www.tylerlanepipes.com/ and Tarek has some slide shows of some big name European pipemakers at work at http://theitalianpipe.com mike o in knoxville |
