Home made wooden pipes

HeadHunterpipes · Jun 9, 2024

Not wood on the inside .. glass or aluminum tube lined . Glass the tube in in a composite tubing.
I guess i will let the photo do the talking.
This purple heart wood 24 slot trim rings and a old boot lace .
Ya open wood to smoke through. not my favorite taste . none of my pipe are open on the inside nor taste like wood.

Burl/big leaf maple ,, note1/2 Aluminum tube going through the wood bowl part

Making the trim rings/24 slot rail road style rings .. all wood. this called sloting the wood x24

Glue the 030 stained veneers in

Next is to trim off excess and part off into rings.

From there its like stacking spacers and washers together and epoxy them solid .

not finished yet .

Hope you like

Nice work, Head. Too bad we’re going to use it and stain the wood.

Have ever worked with bloodwood? I got a piece use for inlays like you do.

No, not Bloodwood, I have seen some nice things made out of Bloodwood.
about 15 years ago I bought out a Custom pool cue maker's wood inventory.
Good chance I have some for making a pool cue.
Normally i don't stain or dye wood except maple.
I apprenticed in Custom cue makers shop/factory.
I learned ALLOT.
I guess I more of turner then any other kind wood worker.

I bought a 1952 Logan 10x20 metal/threading lathe . I have a veneer trimmer I will mount on the tool post ( LIVE CUTTER )
Be nice to have ataper bar for it so I can cut in points . I do have a rotary indexer and I am tooled up to cut threads into wood.

I live cut machine my cue/pipe parts/pieces

You'd certainly find my perspective on time & effort quite superlative, yet there's an obvious dedication to explore esthetics here which should have been worthy of its own thread, though i personally prioritize function before shape. Anyway i've got to wonder what electro-erosion would accomplish in hands capable as this, for example:

Electro-erosion (2020-May-13)

...especially when applied to vaporism featured with a secondary path injecting fresh-air into the heater core. Anyway, with themes like these it's going to make a great impression this next Halloween!

WTF you say???

CMOT_Dibbler · Sep 20, 2024

he is talking about EDM machining ( electrical discharge machining ) . edm uses either a carbon electrode or a brass wire to erode away metal using a electric spark instead of a cutting tool like standard machining .

it is very precise and unlike cutting tools it works on any conductive material regardless of how hard it is . if you have the bucks to buy the high end machines you can do things like " drill" holes so tiny it takes a microscope to see them .

Very cool.... Nothing like making things............
As of many of us where our grandparents lived during the great depression and made everything....
First a billiard chalk holder I a call a Pocket Chalker , all natural wood and antler.
Tray was made by my grandfather in 1933 same year as my mother was born.
PS wrong bowl for the that pipe ,
That bowl goes to this pipe.

Fought epoxy was toxic/not food grade

Fought epoxy was toxic/not food grade

Epoxy finish...only on the outside of the pipe/wood.
Inside of the pipe is 12mm glass tubing.
Trick is if the pipe is dropped and the glass tube breaks, is replacing the broken glass tube.
