How to lay out a PERFECT straight grain classic pipe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 ноя 2019
- Did you ever wonder how a pipe maker gets the natural grain of the briar to run down the sides of the bowl with perfection? Well, in this video I help to answer that question. I talk about why you should love classic pipe designs (and you should!) and how I plan and lay out the quintessential classic pipe shape--the billiard--in a block of briar.

I love classic pipes!
You and me both!
Me too.
Freehand etc are sometimes nice to look at for different shaping and if they work with the grain presented, but you can't beat the classics.
I would love to be able to make some classic shapes as well, one day maybe.
So glad to see a new video! I know you’re busy, but please keep them coming. They are invaluable to makers who don’t have the opportunity to apprentice under an experienced mentor.
HI Jeff, i'm a new carver and this kind of video is invaluable, eagerly awaiting part 2
London Calling with Simon Glad to hear it. Number two is being edited right now. Also, hit me up with any questions you might have and I’ll try to address them in a future video
@@jalanpipes that's very kind of you. I watched your video on military mounts and see lots of high graders using the brass rings on the mortice, is that something new, perhaps Danish influence.? Many carvers have managed for decades without. Is there a particular reason to use them? Thanks
Great video, editing and info, my man. I'm glad you made a classic espresso too!
Rob Cappuccio haha! Yeah, I couldn’t pass that up. :-)
Love that small billiard used in the video....pretty sure it's a great smoking pipe.
John Goldberg no doubt!
It’s been a while, over a year.. since I seen one of your videos. I’m liking this, thanks man.
Matt Price glad to know you’re liking it.
Outstanding video in showing not only the simplicity along with the complexity. I feel the first lesson, as it always will be in anything you do, is to learn/master the basics. A basketball coach once said, “The Game begins by Putting On Your Socks.” As silly as that is he would make sure that every player put their socks on the same way every time and the importance of the basics. Look forward to the next one. 👍🏻🔔📦
Over a Pipe thanks so much!
Pipe Artisan In Workshops Getting Coffee! my new favorite show. thanks Jeff! I definitely subscribe to the idea that classics are classics for very good reasons and pipe makers who don't excel with them are lacking.
Matt Guss if only I had a Lavazza sponsorship!
Jeff thanks for the nuggets! It’s Mel we had dinner together at the pipe show! 🍭🐓👶
Garbage Man Piper hey Mel! Thanks for watching.
Caught this video on Reddit, please get that second part out soon!
Marshall Miller I’ll do my best. It’s already filmed. Now to spend the hours and hours of editing time... 😳
@@jalanpipes excellent! I'm a novice pipe maker but I'm really looking to step up my game so I'm excited to see it.
Marshall Miller great! I hope the videos help
Thank you for explaining things ive pondered about blocks of briar. You are great.
You are very welcome
Informative. I look forward to the next video.
Just found you on youtube and LOVE your work and explanations. I'm new to pipes and but have been turning for a few years... Understanding the "why" is so important - and your vids help me to understand...
Welcome back!
Excellent video Jeff, I’ve been telling people this for years that they need to work on classics first
Excellent! 👍
Jeff, thanks so much for your videos covering pipe making. As a novice, I can use all the help I can get! Sharing that knowledge is much appreciated. Look forward to more of your videos. Thanks again, God Bless and Merry Christmas.
Dope video amigo. Its time i start making them classics.
KJ pipes
For real. ;-)
@@jalanpipes Well Im gonna need part two for that ;)
kadesh swanson for what?
You said video two is how to make a classic pipe :)
Kadesh Swanson gotcha. It’s on the way. 😊
Bulldog, Dublin, Billiard, Lovat and my fave Canadian! BTW can you video making a Canadian? Thanks Jeff Love your work!🙏🙏🙏
Perhaps... :)
just wondering, I know you love the perfect lines facing, and after watching mimmo documentaries, I know how hard it is to get this specific look, and it is aesthetically pleasing, but have you ever purposely made a pipe with the grain facing a different angle, for a different look? probably, and if so, where is it? can I see it? lol I love your style of pipemaking. They are works of art, I hope I can afford one eventually lol.
If you take a peek through my instagram feed (instagram.com/jalanpipes) you'll see a variety of grain orientations represented. This video's only showing one particular layout.
That is some nice crema! What machine are you using? Roasting your own espresso blend?
Well, thank you. :) I’m using a La Speziale Lucca A53. And, yes, I’m always roasting to keep the cups fresh.
👍💨💨
I find it odd that you need to defend classic pipes. I’ve seen a few free hand pipes that to me are just firewood. To me, the value of the classics is their timelessness. Find me a classic styled pipe made last week and I’ll show you a pipe that’ll be loved 50 or 100 years from now. Show me a style that came into fashion 3 months ago, I’ll show you a pipe that’ll be out of style 3 months from now. Classics become classics for a reason. They work well. The look good. They stand the test of time.
For those who understand pipe design history the argument is unnecessary--as you said. Many (I'd argue the majority) of pipe fans like what they like and are unaware of the handmade community and the design traditions expressed within it. Many of this majority may be wooed by 'fancy' shaping, seemingly exotic materials (meerschaum, common hardwoods, etc), or other features that may be nice if you don't know anything else. An analogue can be found in the watch community where can look at Invicta as a brand that does lots of stuff, but for watch enthusiasts it does none of them well, because it's completely untethered to design tradition and the restraint that informs it.
To your point, most masters of freehand shapes are also masters of the classics--because the latter is the foundation of the former. But many, many makers who are capable of making a passable freehand couldn't even sketch a classical shape much less make one.
@@jalanpipes my interest in pipes is directly tied to the history and tradition of the classic forms. A well executed freehand would probably not interest me (beyond academically) whereas an “adequately executed” half bent Rhodesian, smooth or rough, with a nice grain is likely to go home with me. (I’m easy, but I’m no tramp!) thanks for the educational videos. Not quite done binging, but the day is not over....
I drink black coffee that was not coffee I don't know what the hell that was it look like mud the coffee machine is broken and why is there so many damn steps to make coffee how the hell do you do that when you're tired and you just get up in the morning I have so many questions about your crap coffee
Joseph Atnip I ran out of Folgers so had to drink this swill.
