Pipe Making: A Black & White Bulldog
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Several years ago one of my most loyal customers wanted a Bulldog based of a Radice Silk Cut Pure Bulldog, in black & white, with a 9mm filter. So obviously I made him one.
Now, another customer was so charmed by this pipe that he wanted an identical one.
Due to natural variations in the wood, an exact copy is never a good idea, but this pipe came very close to the original.
Pipes like this one are always a challenge due to the diamond shaped stem, which still requires a comfortable mouthpiece.

Thanks :-)
I enjoyed your video I'm starting to make my own for my son Im having trouble getting the cutting dremmer wheel that small can you tell me where you purchased your please
Emeğinize sağlık...👏
I got into making pipes about a year ago. they are still slightly crude because I have no lathe, only a sander and drill press but I make it work. This pipe is beautiful though
@@maggs131 I'm afraid I disagree. Yes, you can make pipes without a lathe. Any experienced pipemaker would be able to make most shapes without a lathe. It would simply take much longer.
However, there's not a single fulltime pipemaker that I know that doesn't use a lathe, nearly all of which are metal lathes.
The fact of the matter is, lathes make pipemaking a LOT easier and it's not even about shaping the pipe, which is almost always done largely on a sanding disk. It's about drilling your holes exactly where you need them and being able to perfectly face a surface perpendicular to a drilled hole.
Without a lathe, making a pipe with a flush stem without any light gaps is an absolute nightmare. With a lathe it's pretty easy.
Finally, details like the ring on a bulldog are nearly impossible to do without a lathe.
Гарний бульдожек.
can anyone tell me where I can buy jaws like that or if these are home made?
Vermont Freehand sells these :-)
Great craftsmanship can you tell me what is the white material you made the mouth peace from
This one is an ivory coloured acrylic rod.
Nice video and nice pipe too brother! Btw, what kind chuck is that you use for shaping pipe? And where to buy it?
It's a Oneway woodturners chuck with custom jaws. You can get the jaws at VermontFreehand.com
I noticed that you used home made woodturning tools from chisels. Is this something that you would recommend for the beginner ? Are they as good as the much more expensive stainless steel tools ?
I wouldn't even call them "homemade", they're simple wood chisels that I use on my metal lathe, ground to a profile I like. The round one I use is actually bent from use because it's not made for this, and I really should replace them with some decent tools...
So no, I would definitely NOT recommend this. Buy a set of decent quality small woodturning chisels.
If you don't have any experience in cutting techniques, opt for ones that have carbide tips. Something like the Easy Wood Tools Easy Start finisher would be very useful in the hands of a beginner.
@@MassisPipes Thanks for taking the time to reply.
@@simonlevett4776 you're very much welcome :-) Good luck getting into the hobby!
Hello! I just came across your channel and I found this video amazing! I would like to know 2 things
1. Where are you based and could I order a pipe for Portugal? If so how much would a pipe (billiard bulldog or a prince ) would cost?
2. I just started making pipes and I don't know what I could use (besides carnauba wax) to finish the pipe. What could I use to bring out the grain of the briar?
Thank you very very much!!
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
thanks José!
I'm based in Belgium but I ship worldwide. However I'm currently not yet accepting new orders, as I'm still working though a backlog.

The 'default' finish for a pipe is sand to 400grit, stain black, sand 600, stain topcolour, buff with tripoli paste, polish with white diamond paste and finish with carnauba. You can get a VERY shiny finish that way :-)
@@MassisPipes thanks for taking the time to answer me :)
Okay how would I know when you're taking orders?
@@josemanuelcamara5578 sign up for the newsletter, I'll send one out when orders open up :-)
@@MassisPipes thank you very much!!!
👍
I'm going to be making a sander like like this. But What kind of motor is the sander running. 2hp or so?
I started with a 1 hp, 1750 rpm. These are 2hp 1750 rpm 400V. I found both of them in a yard sale in my street for €12.5 each!!
Other than that it's just a drill chuck with a hook & loop pad mounted in it :-)
@@MassisPipes that's great, cheers pal.
What do you buff with after the staining?
Usually the basic setup: tripoli compound and then white diamond compound
What is the mouthpiece material called and where do you source it?
This is a rod of ivory coloured acrylic. Most pipemaking suppliers should have something similar in stock. In the USA, your best bet will be Vermont Freehand.
How much this was sold for?
From Ukraine🇺🇦 thank you like👍🏻🇧🇪 🔥
Wah
?
Hello, Do you offer your pipes. Thank you.
What is the material of the pipe stem?
In this case it's acrylic rod, but usually I use ebonite.
Purdy, but how does it smoke?
Well enough for the owner to have ordered another pipe from me :-)
@@MassisPipes Well, outstanding then.
La boquilla es de teflon
Actually the tenon is integral to the stem which in this case made from acrylic if I remember correctly.
püskürttüğünüz hava nedir. bir solisyonmudur
(going off google translate here) Sandblasting is done with a sandblasting medium. There are many different types of media used in sandblasting, such as glass bead, walnut shell, corund, aluminium oxide, ...
Different materials in different coarseness give different blasting results.

Not being rude but about how much $ does something like this cost?
Prices vary quite a bit based on design complexity and quality of the wood. My current commissions start around 300USD.
When you have an expensive pipe you can talk about it by name, but when you get a no name cheap pipe, well, it fits in your hand nice and it burns for an hour or so. What else can ya say?
Honestly I've had many very long conversations about cheap,no name pipes. I've also heard of many cheap named pipes as well as VERY expensive no name pipes...
а покурить????
Что это белое , какой материал, может это токсично
The white material is an imitation ivory made from acrylic. It's perfectly safe to use for pipes. It's the same compound almost every acrylic pipe stem is made from.
