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?
pipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_Woods_Used_For_Pipe_making
What are your thoughts on bone as a bowl/stem material?
@@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.
@@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.
I'm really impressed that you were able to make this video while stoned out of your gourd
I am man of many talents. /bow
At first, I wondered why you would make a carb pipe for tobacco smoking.
Then I realized...
+NarlepoaxIII Word. Well spotted.
NarlepoaxIII around 4:50 notice the pill bottle....I do the same lol.
Gary Harmon I just made a pipe out of elk antler now to just get it finished. So far it looks awesome for my first attempt at it, on a random spur of the moment "let's make something idea".
Lol yup !!!
Perfectly legal tobacco, mate.
something tells me these pipes aren't meant for tobacco use
Devin Petersen shhhhh, child.
Weed pipe base on the design :)
Yeah, I came to see pipe making, and I see bowl making.
Devin Petersen, shhhh...
Devin Petersen lol
Nice green tobacco that's my fave to hahahaba
Whacky tobaccy
@@janieblair3444 i see you have been around looking
That 'ol wacky tobacky
Well that tobacco must have gotten to your brain because it's spelled "too"
Way better than tabaco. Feels better and it's better for you
You had me when the video started and you scolded the bad pipe makers. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR, DAMMIT! I'm in.
i love everything about this video
+GL HF 😀
dude you're fucking awesome
+Sneak Well thanks a bunch!
THANK YOU for this wonderful video. I have made a mini pill bottle pipe and a mini carb pipe so far. What I love is how you teach the basic concepts that make a good pipe, and then the few designs. There is so much room for creativity and improvising, but the sketch with dimensions was great to get me started.
I've been looking for a tutorial for a carb pipe for a while, this was absolutly perfect, well shot, well narrated, simple to follow and no BS filler to stretch out run time.
My only critique is gluing the chamber to the bowl as it makes it nearly impossible to adequately clean it, I'll be making a press fit when I make mine.
incredible video over all.
This should have more views.
very well made, presentation and all.
props to you man!
+TheMaddGodd 😊Much thanks! I got some more vids in the works so keep an eye out.
Gary's Wares
great video I'm really curious on how your going to do that rotten cherry pipe please keep us post on that
+Trevor Williamson Thanks, and yeah, I'll post something. Although, the blank isn't rotten. That's a really big naturally occurring knot; it's usually the place on the tree where a branch starts growing. I love stuff like that.
The pipe I'm going to make out of that blank is *hopefully* going to be sold to a tobacco shop. As such, it's got to be really, really good, and I'm not quite at that level yet. I might get to it this summer.
+Gary Harmon how about a pipe made out of pine?
Im the 69th like lol
This was excellent instructional. Especially like how you showed the steps at 9:30
Thanks for sharing.
+OnceUponAPipe Thanks for the feedback. I'm just doing what I love!
Thank you for this! I started making pipes specifically for cannabis, it is a lot harder to find good videos that are not focused on tobacco.
I've been interested in starting a woodworking shop and business, and pipes were one of the things I wanted to do. This is a great video for information. Its very useful and very much appreciated
Thanks for the explanation, I was ready to make my own pipe. Thanks God I saw your video! I didn't know anything about shapes, woods, types of pipes, and tools. Thanks good man.
I'm just getting into woodworking. This was very informative and to the point. Jam on man!
+LAIDBACKMANNER Awesome! Glad I could help!
This was such a fun, simple, straightforward video. Subscribed.
Thanks Gary! Im a 13 year old pipe maker and your video really helped me a lot since I am new. Now I have practiced and gotten better thanks to your advice and now make them as gifts or to sell or use.
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. 🚭
@@GarysWares I'm glad you're speaking up and helping. I actually have only had a smoke from them about 2 or 3 times, as I enjoy making them and engraving them more than using them. And when I do use them its just green tea. It tastes fine and is good for testing. Thanks!
Hey man I loved this video! I’ve been smoking for about 4 years now and you still taught me some stuff I didn’t know about pipes; I’m gonna try to make one!
"For the other pipes i made." lol This is a great video. Appreciate the info and the wisdom this man provides. Good job.
Cheers Man, a great video. I'd love to see the tobacco pipe finished. Good work. Easy and straight forward demeanour. Respect.
Made one with a machete, a nail, a hammer and a saw
Cool
Thank you especially for the diagrams, very thorough!
+Rose Wheeler No problem!
I believe that is a cove router bit that is missing it's bearing. Very informative video! Thank you Gary!
There are some without bearing, like dremell's ones
Dylan's DIY Workshop I just came from your channel
Cove bit with a pilot
Love the fact i can come back and glance at the thumbnail and know what to do, best step by step guide, good work
Brilliant ! Love the opening. Simple , fun and informative
You Sir will never understand how much I tryley appreciate you breaking this down barney style. I'm stoned and this really made 100% chance and left me with no questions. This video left me the desire to buy you a case of beer but only if we drink it in my workshop.
I loved this vlog and learned a lot. Thanks so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for sharing your experience. Best regards from Santiago, Chile!..I follow you!
Nice work bud. I Learned a few things on the carving process and what wood to use. Gonna go try making my own now.
dude your videos are something special. keep it up please, I'd love to see more
+LegitBrucelee23 Well thanks! I've actually got another video I'll upload soon!
Love the way you explain this!
Thank you Gary this video has helped me alot for guidance to what I would like to do
The best video I've seen. Great work.
Finally a decent video on pipe making, thanks dude you're the best.
+Abdelilah Amraoui No problem! Thanks for watching!
Great channel for a smoker like me. Thanks for showing me all this, wouldn't have known about wood selection and such before now.
This is so wholesome, thank you for making this
Very nice work, you re making some real one off pipes. Thanks for sharing tips , info etc. Good stuff my brother. Peace.
Gary, I don't smoke at all but love artisan work. you do a very nice job, especially highlighting the basics. It has inspired me to try my hand at it. have you made an vids of regular sized tobacco pipes? keep up the good work....
Its been a long time since ive seen a video that ive liked so much that i couldnt stop watching it. keep up the good work loved the video
+TTM Coy Well thanks for the compliment! I don't quite know what I'm doing, but I'll keep it up!
That intro tho :o. the best vid i've seen so far. ty for the insight man!
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for. 👍👍👍
You're freaking delightful. Thanks so much for a great vid, subscribed in hopes that you're still at it.
Appreciate the info on alternative woods. We have a farm where all the white oak and iron oak is getting harvested to make way for black walnut. Plenty of stumps to get material from for a while.
Dude you are an awesome person. Keep up the vids!
Informative and nice to watch and listen to. Good shit man.
I wanna make a long stem pipe and have been doing the research on youtube when I ran into your tutorial. I have to say, nice job. Not only did you provide awesome information but you did it in a manner that was entertaining to watch. ALL the other videos have some stuffy dude that bored the hell out of me. I'm now a Gary fan and can't wait to binge watch the rest of your videos. Keep up the good work.
+Greg Betts Well thanks a lot! Yeah, I mainly made this video because there wasn't much out there that I found very helpful. I'm glad you like my vids; I always love it when I find a channel like that.
Thanks you a million! Awesome video!!! You definitely drop tons of golden nuggets...
Love your style man!
Great video! Much appreciated!
Love the video! Cheers!
Video was great. Reading comment was good time also! Been wanting to make one, video was helpful.
+Joseph Coonrod Thanks! Good luck with your own pipes!
Thanks for making this video. I'm going to attempt making my first tobacco pipe as a gift for a friend soon and will be referencing this video often as I work on my project.
I have Ben making pipes for 12 years, been very fortunate to have gained guidance from Shultie, Tinsky, West, Marshbanks, and emails with Renee Barbie.
You have a solid foundational video, looking forward to your continued success.
Ps: Oak is a NO! Release toxins
This was a highly enjoyable video.
I made a pipe while I was deployed and the way that I made the bowl was to take an old spade bit and ground it to the shape I wanted and sharpened it. Worked perfect
This was a good video 10 seconds deep AND BEYOND. Thanks
I loved the video and am now interested in making one but I have a question about the wood, I have these hickory wood chunks that claim to be 100% natural and are for smoking food, I’m interested if you have any input about this, they sell cherry hickory and many other hard woods in chunks about the right size to make the pipe and are fairly cheap, curious if you have any quarrels against using them and if so where you would recommend to actually find the wood
It's a cove bit, I believe. Fantastic work sir!
Excellent special effects!
so detailed, thank you
My god, that intro was awesome!! Now watching the rest of it, as far as I am now (like half way) its very good! I dont know why i have interests in making a wooden pipe because I dont smoke at all, but it seems like an awesome project :)
like the video man, keep it up!..oh and have to say i enjoyed your intro as well lol..
Just watched this one and I'll day you know what your doing. So my question is have you every used anything like whitetail deer antler for the bowl. The glue that you use (the tightbond type 2) van that be used for glueing the bowl with the first part of the stem. I have 3 pieces I'm using the bowl and turn will be antler and the stem will be clay. I had a nice clay pipe that the bowl busted and couldn't get back together so I've cut off the rough part and made a straight stem with the remaining good part of the clay. Those two will be able to separate but I do want the antler pieced to be fixed permanently together. Can that glue you mentioned be used for how I'm wanting it to attach?
Amazing video thank you so much it really helped a lot
Just made my 1st pipe from cherry. Came to this video to find out how or if you finish it with oil. I almost went and bought one but remembered I have a wood shop and ton of scrap cherry! Haha great vaccum test!
First time seen it and the intro captivated me right away.
I wish I would have watched this yesterday before I used my forsner bits! So informative and I feel way more confident now!!
Thank you!!
Do you have Instagram, Gary?
thank you, this video was very helpful
hey buddy, what was the intro to this video, the song is beautiful and amazing craftsmanship!
Great video! Been trying to find a good intro to pipe making and you’re the only person I’ve found taking the time to explain the details.
Two quick questions, what do you finish with? And when you say the bowl should go with the grain do you mean that the grain should run vertically down the bowl so the growth rings and curve of the bowl generally line up or did I miss understand that but?
"Salad Bowl" brand wood finish
love the video, thank you!
great video man! I am a beginner having done just two pipes and doing my first chillum,but watching your video a doubt came to my mind.is it stupid to make the piece that keeps the material from falling a bit concave? I never saw one like that and I would try to make it like that.
Que bien explicado que está. Muy buena maestro
Gracias!
Very informative man! thanks man!
Hay Gary i like the way you make your pipes I'm a pipe person and i like to at lest try and make one or two but i like to thank you for putting it on you tude so cool.
Im a new carpenter and I am super exited to be able to try and make a pipe in my free time.
cool wood pipe demo .im doing boro glass pipes and other glass art 20+yrs now. just made a few fuji cherry wood bowls. nice tiny gandalf hash pipes lol i seen that green in your drawing
that "tobacco" needs a continuous flame, real tobacco smolders on it self and should do only that.
Though it's hot when it smolders it is a non complete burn, oxygen is depreviated and that gives "low" heat and smoke
In short u made a cyclone suction burner.
That is the Only way too kill a pipe like that :) an old pipe maker told me that.
Didn't know till now why I knew this 😁.
Nice work man really learned a lot from you 👍🏻👌🏻
great video. would it be possible to get a list of woods you've used that are fine, and woods that are a definite no go
I like how he measures the pipe out, but i also find it cool when people take a block of wood, and just carve it down to make a really unique pipe
Hey @garyharmon cheers for the upload very informative. I was planning to use a washer on the bottom of my bilbo baggins pipe. Hopefully to stop burnout. Is there any issue with adding steel to the pipe?
Ps your using a coved router bit to drill the bowl. Nightmare of a router bit coz without the ball bearing it burns the shit out of the face. You have found a perfect use for an orherwise useless tool. Legendary tip
Bad ass video man really enjoyed it
i was just thinking "isn't that hazardous to smoke out of?" on the last video i watched. obviously about a diy pipe.
forgot auto-play was on and before i could think about what to google to find out whats kosher or not i hear your intro.
thanks
That mouthpiece “mistake” made it like 20x cooler I want it
Hey Gary, great tips here. Where do you find the best prices for cherry wood blocks?
Ok, so real life scenario....you're hiking in the Pacific Northwest, Appalachian Trail, Amazon Basin, whatever, and you drop your prized pipe and you let out a bellowing scream as it smashes into a trillion pieces, (in nightmarish slow motion). You have 7.25 days left on trail, and you know you won't survive 2 without a toke. All you have is a carving knife, a manual drill bit or gimlet, and some dank ass grass. Gary my man, is it possible to do a bushcraft style video of making a pipe, totally bare bones style in the field? A video like that would require your masterful skills, a sweet soundtrack, and maybe a lovely lost hippiechick to pull it all together...but I have faith in you man. You can do it!
beautiful stuff man.
Thanks for introducing me to a future Hobby
Hi Gery old mate. What is a good and safe Australian wood to use for a pipe bowl and stem?
Hey man big fan I loved the video. I just wanted to ask if you have showed in any other videos about how to square a blank but if you did please let me know and if not would you consider making a video on how to square a blank?
MELHOR JORNAL DO BRASIL !!! SO FERA
Really liked this video.
Awesome video! What sort or finish did u use on the pipes?
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.
Have you ever worked with grapewood, I carve knife handles but sometimes carve pipes and I love grapewood, it adds a robust little flavor when you are smoking
Was that purpleheart I saw in the background there?? I love using that while turning pens. Walnut is best seller tho
I subscribed straight away.
I love your work, and I love these videos!! Also love the fact that you took one too many safety meetings and sanded the mouthpiece backwards xD I have the same problem occasionally lmao
+Jon Shipman Too many safety meetings? No such thing, Internet User! Safety First, Last, & Always. If you're not conscious of what you're doing, you'll make a mistake and not know why. The feeling of embarrassment when you fail is just stupidity leaving your brain. It's a good thing. 😁
Gary's Wares ahaha that's one way to look at it. And have you ever tried making any bongs?? I would love to see you tackle that lol and when can I expect the next video?? I'm dying to see more of your work, shits one of a kind brother!!
Eve explains the need and importance of selecting a appropriate wood for the bowl. Is there any good way that you know of to identify these Woods without specifically purchasing them. Suppose someone had a way of acquiring pieces of nice hardwood but they're unlabeled. What would you recommend? Aside from don't do that LOL
