Woodturning Olive n' Oak Long Stemmed Pipe 

Thank you Par!! Yuval

Thank you Willem!! I know those pipes, I've seen a whole documentary about how they are made, interesting history as well! I also don't smoke a pipe, but I sure do love making them! I'll be showing a different type of pipe (different stem shape, different bowl shape, differen smoke channel design) soon enough. Yuval.

I don't smoke a pipe as well, yet I love making them. People seem to love them as well. Yuval.

Mostly womans-they don`t smoke a pipes,but they like a smell of ;-) I smoke a pipe more otr less from 25 years.I want to do my firsth one myself.Thank You Yuval 4 Your Inspiration ! ,-)

it's calling to you, it's only a matter of time. Get some black cherry tobacco and relax, remember not to inhale, in time move to a pipe tobacco with latakia in it and you'll never look back.

don't say you don't smoke just say that you lover pipes because that is the only part that matters

Pipe smoking is totally different from anything else, tobacco can smell nicer, cleaner - for many its an occasional treat not an addiction (at least i speak for me on that). When I moved to France - -did not bring my Peterson pipe - partly as I value it i dont want it broken in travel - thats how un-addicted I am, bought a new one locally now. It can be mellow - chill time, its is great for the rare thing of being in nature and tuning out from the modern world. Pipe smoking is not an addiction to me. Its very much better. Also many health benefits!! Waits for Censor! But sorry there is - The government cancer agenda against tobacco but - look at all the modern killer they promote - its just a form of mind control. We all die in the end. Be informed about RISK.

Thank you Karen!! I think you will enjoy very much this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XS3XbUYNpPg.html But you should get in the mood before hand, trust me ;) Yuval.

Thank you Cody! I showed that angle you people will know you can adjust the stem inside the pipe to the right direction. Yuval.

Thank you man!! Turning these is a lot of fun, good tool practice, plus some woodworking and carving! An all around fun project. Yuval.

Thank you David! You'll see, once you make one pipe, you'll be making them in batches :) Yuval.

Thank you! I like to play around with the music, but you can't get everyone's taste every time... :) Yuval.

Thank you guys!! Feel free to use it on your site, as alway! Yuval.

Yuval Lahav Woodturning Cool. Thanks, Yuval.

Thanks John! Yuval

Thanks Legs! Yuval

Thank you Mike!! Soon I'll publish a new videos with some variations on the subject, the reaction to this video calls for it :) Yuval.

Thank you so much Brandy!! :) Yuval

Thank you Carl! All credit to the stem part (and the whole shabbang) should go to Stephen Ogle, whom I learned this from. Yuval.

You got the whitest white name of all time. I've seen ur videos tho. U got some good shit. I've always wanted to get into this shit.

Thank you Geof!! As an amature pipe maker I would tell you that my pipes are for smoking, not just for displaying!! :) I will make a follow up video to this one with alternative methods for the pipe bowl shape, turning method, boring method, stem connecting method, stem shape and might even use a completely different wood (but I'm not sure, Olive is so nice and people come to expect it from me...) and more, hope you will find the follow up as just as interesting. Yuval.

Thank you Tim! Yuval

Thank you so much rickoona! :) Yuval.

Thank you Deoclecio!! :) Yuval.

Thank you Lexi! Check out my video #56, I have a feeling you will enjoy it as well :) Yuval.

Thank you Augustus (My son's second name is Giulius, like Augustus father, in the Italian spelling, of course)! You don't need to smoke to be the proud owner of an hand made pipe, it's a good conversation starter ;) Yuval.

Thank you Gord!! :) I don't normally smoke a pipe as well, but I love making them, they are as beautiful as they are practical (in my eyes). I am planning a follow up to this video where I will show a similar pipe yet made with different methods for the turning, boring, stem shape and connection type, might even use a different wood, but don't count on it :) I promise that I will do some talking in the follow up, unlike in this video :) Yuval.

Looking forward to the next episode! Have added this to my todo list. Take good care and keep them coming. Cheers, Gord

Thank you Gunter!! :) Yuval.

I've also steam bend a stem from my scorpion pipe (well, boiled the wood for some extreme bending and glued it up). I've been thinking about steam bending some stock to see how it holds up. Yuval

Ehehe, yeah, I seem to be getting a lot of heat for my music choices... I guess people didn't find the mute button yet... :) Yuval

Thank you Pierre!! :) I'll might do a follow up with a different type of pipe, so to show how it's done. Yuval.

Thank you Luky!

Thank you! They sure are, and I'll be making a couple more soon, with different styles and tools of course. Yuval.

Thanks Ollie! Yuval

Thank you Ola! Happy you found it instructive! :) Yuval.

Thank you Andu!! :) Yuval.

Thank you Dale! Yuval.

Thanks mate! Much indeed. Yuval

Told you so man!! Wait and all will be revealed!! :) So now you know, go make one! Yuval.

You're most welcome! :) Yuval

Thank you buddy!! I'll be making a follow up as soon as I could squeeze some shop time where I'll make a different style of everything, bowl, stem, boring, shaping, texturing and I might even venture a different wood if I'll find a large enough piece of Walnut in my scraps pile, just to show the variations you can have with a fun project like this. Yuval.

Thank you Rami!! :) Yuval.

Thank you Kaged :)! Yuval.

Thank you Tyler!! Yuval.

Thank you Jordan! Making a wooden pipe to match your glass pipes will be quite easy, I am planing on making a couple more pipes soon, one of those will be more of the glass pipes style. Yuval.

Thank you Elias, and good luck! :) Yuval.

Thank you Stewart!! I would recommend this as a quick and fun (and practical) project for any aspiring woodturner/woodworker. Yuval.

Thank you Seppo! Yuval

Thank you Geekyman! Yuval.

Thank you Stephen! I also thought a pipe was out of my skill set level, until I made the first one ;) Yuval.

Which woods are best for the bowl?

Well, the best of the best would be Briar root, which is imported from Italy. Alternative woods are Olive, Cherry, Mulberry, Walnut (which is kind of controversial, since some species are poisonous), Apple, Oak and more.

Thanks.

Thank you Fernando!! :) Yuval.

Thanks! Yuval

Thank you Julio!! Yuval

@@yuvallahav 👉........!!! .......👍 . Extraordinary Talent and Dedicatión ...Yuval.

Thank you! My bowl gouge is by far my go to tool :) Yuval.

Thank you Mauro!! Yuval.

Glad I could get you there Lastmanxa!! :) Yuval.

Thank you! Catch some of my other pipe videos, each has something a little different in it :) Yuval.

Thanks man! Yuval.

Thank you Nick! Yuval

Glad you liked it Rob! Yuval

Thank you Mark!! Yuval. Also, where is your signature "do a kindness"??! :)

Thank you Garry!! (You can smoke some hemp toilet paper in this one, THC present or not!). Yuval.

more enjoyable with the thc to be fair

Thanks! You can find the songs and where do get them from for free in the video description, like always. Yuval.

Grazie Christian!! Yuval

Thank you Youenn!! It's not the only way, but it's a good way non the least. Yuval

Thank you Glen! Some people do it without the wire in the glue up and then try to push the wire in to clean up the glue, which sometimes is impossible, this way, you know your hole will be clean all the way through. Don't ask don't tell ;) Yuval.

halfing pipeweed as one should always to brake in new pipes lol

Thank you Steve! These are fun to turn and make, even if you don't smoke ;) Yuval.

Thanks! Yuval

Thank you Brykl1! Yuval.

A little, it does, doesn't it :) Yuval

Thanks Saar! Yuval

Thank you Jim!! I say that of myself too often... :) Yuval.

Thank you Bo!! Yuval.

Thank you man!! Yuval.

Thank you Brykl1! Yuval

You can always pick up the hobby, it's not really that hard to learn. Maybe you have a turning club where you live, they will be glad to help you get started. Yuval

Thank you Kwang! Some people don't like my choices of music, since I like to mix it up every few videos, try some new sounds, do I'm glad you liked this one :) Yuval

Thank you very much Jean-luc le fevre!! :) Yuval.

Thank you Marc ;) Yuval.

*only at the beginning 😉

Yeah, people have been more critical about the music than anything else, I guess people didn't hear about the mute button ;) Yuval.

Thank you Jacob! Yuval

Thank you Rob!! I'm not a pipe toting guy as well, but I do love turning these, you have turning, gluing, bending, woodworking, carving, it's an all around good exercise!! :) Yuval. P.S. Loved the maple leaf ;)

Which one Tim?! Some people seem to be surprised but some of my music choices.... Yuval.

Thank you Sam! Yuval.

Thank you Daniel!! I don't normally smoke a pipe, but these are so fun to make :) To answer your questions, professionally made pipes get scorched before they leave the artisan, so they are smoking ready, while this pipe can be smoked right up, but until there will be a layer of char on the bowl walls the smoke will taste a little woody (which some people actually like). Some people use watered down honey soaked on the inner walls of the pipe for the first few smoking, as the thin honey will penetrate the wood and then caramelize inside it as it burns, which will give the wood resistance and better taste. The stem took me about 25 minutes to shape using the dremel, which is a grand improvement on the 2 hours it normally takes me when I use rasps. Yuval.

Thank you Clyde, I've been meaning to make some of those clamps for a while now, I'll download some plans and make some, hopefully by the next time I have a project that needs drilling. Yuval.

Thank you! Yuval

Thanks Mustafa! Yuval

Thank you Gunther! Yuval

Thank you!! Yuval

That is a great idea, I will try to use it for the next pipe! Yuval

now you can! Yuval

Thank you Ken! Yuval.

Thank you Johan! I did smoke it a little, using simple tobacco, and it was very pleasurable. I should be getting a decent pipe tobacco and have a real go at it. People who smoked pipes I've made told me they were just perfect for them :) Yuval.

Thank you Dave! Couldn't light it on camera, you know how many people will write to me if I will? Probably more then if I would have made a knife and stabbed someone with it to show how it works... :) Yuval.

Thank you Pancho! I hope you'll find inspiration in my videos and work!! Yuval

I do catch your drift, we're all at the same spot... Hope you do find the time to make a pipe, and let me know how it went!! Yuval

Thank you Mitch! You should definitely do that! :) Yuval.

Thanks Mariela! Yuval

Thank you man! You should try it, it's a fun bit of woodworking :) Yuval.

I plan on giving it a try. Wish I had easy access to some nice olive wood bigger than a pen blank. Sadly, it is difficult to find at a reasonable price here in southern California.

Well, there are many alternative woods for pipes, while the "best" wood for the job is Briar root (which is expensive since it's rare and comes mostly from the south of Italy, a small single piece could run you up 20-100 dollars), while alternative woods are many, among them are Cherry, Olive and Walnut. Between you and me, the Olive looks the best, but the Walnut taste the best when you smoke it (and the first couple of smokes will always have wood taste, until the inside of the bowl is well charred, while professional pipes come pre charred).

Thanks for the info. Had no idea. Will have to give the Walnut a try: got plenty of that. The oak you used for the stem, did you just get some veneers? How did you get them so thin?

I had a plank of Oak, about 5 cm tall (2 inches) and 20 cm wide (some more inches) and I cut a piece of it 30 cm long (about 12 inches) and I started slicing it in 2 mm wide slices on my table saw using my sled, risking my life and fingers in the process... if I had a bandsaw it would have been much simpler. If you can get a thin (but not too thin) veneer slices, use those, why not!

Thank you! There are a few more methods for making the stem, like a hollow branch and then steam bend it to shape, but I don't know which plants have those hollow branches, I bet a google search will help you find anything local that might fit the job. I also know of people who hand carve their stems in two halves and glue them together after they carved out the track in the stem... Yuval.

Thanks! Yuval

Thank you Wolvsbain! Don't say you have so much Olive, someone reading this comment might hit you up for some, people are quite keen on getting some Olive where it's scarce or not to be found at all. I'm sure you'll enjoy creating those pipes, it's always a nice project to take your mind off things :) Yuval.

Its not too scarce in Arizona, every developmet uses it for a shade tree, so they are everywhere, same with red gum eucylptus.

I have people begging me to send them some to the US, you should publish your wealth, make some business ;) Yuval.

Thanks Chriss! Yuval
