WOW! You are a wonderful craftsman! That pipe metal is very closely akin to the solder, so it takes much skill to solder to solder!What is the temperature of your iron for this metal?
It's heartening to see a young person doing this! Makes me wish I could start my career over. One question though: When you are soldering, you tap the iron on a small second pad before beginning the actual soldering. What is that pad and what does it do for you?
Wonderful Video. May I ask about your solder iron ? I don't see this type in the US. Could you tell me the maker and model ? It seems it would retain more solder for long seams than the pointed versions.
Those solder irons are easy to buy in The Netherlands this looks like a 500 Watt hammer soldering iron from the Dutch brand IFA. They go from 200 to 750 Watt.
University of Oklahoma school of Music now teaches this as a degree. In the four year program, you will help build or restore an organ at the new north campus shop. One building is devoted to just console construction and maintenance. The other shop is for making and restoring pipes. OU acquires organs destined for demolition and will save what they can so students can learn how to completely assemble the entire instrument. OU has created the American Organ Institute to feature this program. www.ou.edu/aoi. The most recent program was presented by Ms. Diane Bish. Unfortunately I was out of town. Now PBS did a documentary around 25 years ago on how to build organs. And they started the process by melting town blocks of tin, lead, zinc, copper, etc. Once fully melted and mixed, they poured it onto a big table and made thin sheets of the alloy. That's where it was similar to the process seen above. Of course voicing a pipe made of a lead alloy meant an extra level of care for personal safety. You would not pick it up and blow into it, nor handle it without gloves. And one aspect I do remember with the PBS program was the use of complicated mathematics to determine what kind of pipes to make for a particular room. You would not create the same pipe dimensions for a small church that you made for a big music hall. And today, you go out and take white noise samples of the room and the software helps you design optimal pipes.
Unfortunately, the University of Oklahoma got a new president, who wanted nothing to do with the American Organ Institute -- and discontinued the school of organ building. As far as I know, every bit of the work which had gone into that school was destroyed.
James Walton Absolutely.. The red is only a paint on the metal to prevent it from harm and helps on the soldering. The part when it is washed of is cut out.
I am concerned about you handling this metal without gloves. Is this spotted metal (lead [Pb] and tin). Solder lead or silver? Protect from lead poisoning and get tested every year. Craftsmen should ware gloves and work under a ventilated hood when working with lead and lead solder. Best and thank you for a great demo! Thank you !
Hello, actually handling the metal isn't really a problem for you, it may just mark the metal with the acidity of your hands. However blowing through it may be dangerous if done too often. About soldering, there is very few fumes, so no need for a hood, just an ventilated room is enough. Soldering material is often 62% tin, 38% lead (lowest liquefaction temperature). As for testing, where i'm at, once a year is mandatory (by the law). (Sorry for the bad english)
Handling the metal is not a problem at all- it cant be absorbed thru the skin, it's breathing in the dust or swallowing lead oxide or dust that is the problem.
An excellent demonstration by a real craftsman. Thanks. (Mind you, I'd be careful with that guillotine!)
thank you very much. And im allways carefull with that guillotine :-)
Wonderful work and also real craftsmanship!
This was an inspiring demonstration of craftsmanship.

Excuse me. What thickness the board of plumb-tin needs to do? 0.7 mm or less?
You are a very talented craftsman. It is wonderful to watch you work at your craft. How did you learn this very special skill?
Many thanks,
George
How long did you apprentice before you became a master of pipe making?
It's heartening to see a young person doing this! Makes me wish I could start my career over. One question though: When you are soldering, you tap the iron on a small second pad before beginning the actual soldering. What is that pad and what does it do for you?
Steric acid (wax). It acts as a flux to make the solder flow smoothly.
@@blairbatty thanks!
Ügyes!
. Kézimunka a javából.
absolutely amazing....what a fine craftsman.....
thank you...
Gratulálok a szép munkáért
Thank you Adam Golembersky. The same for you.
especially contribution!! By the way: you have beautiful hands, like from artist!
is there any difference (aside from the color) in the sizing (paint) between the red oxide and the mustard yellow?

It's such a travesty that the University of Oklahoma terminated this program!!

Hello djmaster. I did not understand what you did in 6:45 min. You closed conic pipe? Why? Please wtrite. Thank you.
Good work. Big up Graftsman
... and that's just one pipe. Many organs have thousands.
Not all are metal, a lot of pipes are wood
@@HobbyOrganist it still takes about half an hour to make a wooden organ pipe
I want to be an organ builder
Then why don't you see where you can be?
You went from the red paper to the metal. Could you explain?
James Walton Absolutely.. The red is only a paint on the metal to prevent it from harm and helps on the soldering. The part when it is washed of is cut out.
Thank you for the reply!
Precioso!!!, gracias por compartir!
I have never seen a soldering iron like that. Does it have a particular name?
It is an ordinary soldering iron, just with a very large head to retain the heat.
Wonderful work.
Gratulálok aregtinábol... G. Attila
How much is one pipe: Principal (open diapason), any flute or reed pipe?
Probably a few hundred dollars for just one pipe, cheaper per pipe by the rank
Any relation to Leo Szilard of Manhattan Project fame?
What's in the blue pan ? animal glue ?
So this is a 1/2 wave pipe?
I should try to make a small one of these with some of the mannell (lead/tin alloy) that I have😁
Pipe organs can also have 100.000 or more, depending how big
What is the specification you use at 2:50?

Oh he's the drummer from Bagossy Brothers Company :D
If i would only have all these instruments, materials..
How is named the song?
what is the name of the background music?
JS Bach organ concerto d minor BWV 596
ARTE.
1 down, 60 to go. lol
Could be 56 or 58 depending on compass.
