Pipe Making - Sandblasted Rhodesian/Dublin 

4@😊فز5

Thanks:-)

Welcome to the hobby, and good luck in your pipemaking endeavors :-)

Thank you!

It is ebonite, made by SEM in Germany. Ebonite is a form of vulcanised rubber :-)

A 4mm usually :-)

Thank you!

90% of all pipes are made from briar, bought from specialized briar mills in the Mediterranean. Occasionally, other woods are used such as olive, morta, apple, pear, cherry and maple.

and the whole internet is at your fingertips... literally!

Every pipemaker has their own process. Some simply blast once with a standard glass bead medium, others blast in up to 7 stages all with different media & pressures... The gist of it is this: get a BIG compressor (250L+ tank, 2 stage, capable of 8+bar and with a net air delivery of over 400L), any sandblasting cabinet (harbor freight will do) and gun, and a bag of fine glass bead (40 - 70µm is what I started with) . That should get you going, the rest is experimentation. And remember that every piece of briar blasts differently. Some will pretty much melt away, others will barely show any pattern at all at first.

@@MassisPipes Wonderful stuff! All noted :) Thanks

什么材质

It's a Oneway woodturning chuck with briar jaws on it

@@MassisPipes thank you on a quick response? Any model in particular?

@@Gigizverka47 it's actually called the Oneway Chuck. Not the talon or the stronghold, just the Oneway :-)

@@MassisPipes :) ok thanks! I have a axminster one that I chuck i a bigger metal lathe one but it slips right out.. dangerous..

They're names for classical shapes: billiard, Dublin, author, prince, Liverpool, Canadian, belge, pot, chimney, ... To name a few. The classical British pipe is a billiard, the classical Irish one a Dublin. The briar itself is always Mediterranean, it doesn't grow in Dublin ;-)

and the whole of the internet is at your fingertips... literally!

It's a kemper zig zag tool, ment for pottery. Vermont freehand sells them, Rawkrafted probably does too.

@@MassisPipes thanks

Jawel hoor, gewoon een flinke happer...

it's a rubber stick made specifically for this purpose. You can find them on amazon for a few dollar: www.amazon.com/Cleaning-Eraser-Stick-Abrasive-Sanding/dp/B000H69U7G

Thank you very much! I tried silicone - it turned out to be a bad idea) Good luck with your work!

I honestly don't know what you mean?

@@MassisPipes He points out that the smoking pipe must be cut by hand, without using a lathe. It is likely that he thinks that smoking pipes are made using the old- fashioned method , with a minimum of tools . But nowadays , either smoking pipes of a complex author's shape are made in this way , or souvenir pipes without the idea of smoking them ( for example , smoking pipes of North American Indians , calumet ) , or homemade pipes in regions where it is difficult to purchase them .

@@igorantsiferov5716 I figured as much :-) Then again, lathes have been around for centuries... The first (hand driven) lathes were used by the Egyptians as early as 1300 BC!
