So good to see a master at work. I have a couple of Blakemar pipes - one a rusticated Matador which is a beautiful pipe and smokes great and is very economically priced at £24.
I was hoping you could show what you are stamping process looks like in more detail. I love to see what your whole device looks like. I'm trying to figure out how to stamp my pipes and I'm not having much luck.
Thanks so much for this video!! I've been making pipes for a while, and have seen a number of videos online about how to do it. It's like piecemeal, finding all the hints and clues on how to do it in a way that works for me, and for the tools I have. I learned a few things in this-- not just the rustication, which it looks like you've got a great system compared to my dremel!! I was interested to see the lighter to ignite the stain-- what is the purpose or effect of this? Is it a special kind of stain?
I found a bit like this at the hardware store-- it's actually called a rasp like this: www.solidrop.net/photo-4/3-sets-lot-6pcs-6mm-shank-bearing-steel-engraving-grinding-bit-rotary-bur-file-rasp-bit-for-rotary-tools.jpg I tried it today - I'm close to getting the effect you got... thanks! Now to figure out how to make the silver bands on the pipe shaft!
I think hes using a Dremel mounted in a vice and one of the bits that usually comes with the Dremel. Can't say for sure though. Just my thoughts anyway.
@1fatbastard because pipes are only rusticated when the grain of the wood is simple and rather uninteresting. Higher end smooth pipes are more likely to have an interesting grain and such brier is rarer and more expencive.
No wonder I don't like rusticated finishes... You have to have a good pipe then you ruin it to make it look "rustic", whatever that means. Looks more like tripophobia to me. Still, clearly skillful work, well done.
The master at work 👌 purchased two pipes of you sir the Matador and the Aristocratic well pleased .

Great to see how it's done. I love the 'Extra Long Flat' the rustication is amazing. Thanks for showing us how you do it.
Awesome video and a great teaching tool for those of us who enjoy pipe carving. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great video
Beautiful pipe
An inspiration video! Bravo,your rustication is excellent.
Awesome , loved seeing that done !!
always wondered how this was done
Nice job
Great video! Thank you for sharing the process with us. What is the liquid you coated the pipe with that dried for two hours?
Since I like a deep rustication on a pipe, I my try this on one of my inexpensive smooth bowl pipes.
@BlakemarBriars Thanks for the info Mike!
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
What type of polishing compound were you applying to the buffer?
Beautiful I hope one day I can rusticate my pipes :)
Very nice 👌 👌 👌

What type of painting is this? It's some special painting for pipes?
Very interesting video! Was that shellac you used before the drying time?
Gorgeous rustication and colour.
Cheers,

Is this a drill bit with the point ground down?
Hello there, im just wondering what kind of colour you are using in this video, right after rustic? Burning it up etc.. Thanks for advice, great work!
2:35 wow that camera is old. Mechanical zoom still? Woof. 😉
Do you still do this work? 10years? Does anyone know if they are still in business? Or if he is still alive?
@Flieger671 Yes, the polish used is 'Mylands Shellac Transparent Polish' - as recommended by Les Wood of Ferndown Pipes.
Thanks for the comments,
Mike

Did you rusticate it with just a drill bit?
Yep! @ 0:04 it the cutter looks like a drill bit with the point rounded slightly. Clever!
As am I! Where are you from? Im in Ketchikan.
What type of bit are you using?
I think hes using a Dremel mounted in a vice and one of the bits that usually comes with the Dremel. Can't say for sure though. Just my thoughts anyway.
You are buffing a a furious speed... why the hurry?
UnderShade he had to go shit
@ksecrew85
i would like to know that too
Absolutely marvelous
