The title should be An Amateurs Guide to Briar Pipe Making Start to Finish, but it was too long. Keep in mind I am not a professional, but just do this as a hobby. There is 7 parts to this build series. Instead of trying to cut the process down and make quick videos I shot video of every part of the pipe making process. • I've had a lot of people ask me different questions about different parts of the pipe making process so I decided to do a start to finish video. Keep in mind that I am NOT a professional and am using pretty cheap tools. My only intention is to help those that want to give pipe making a try as a hobby and not how to make a professional pipe. • 2021 Note: I have created a new pipe making video series showing how I make one of my Danish style pipes.

I suggest only using briar. • • Pipe stem (Lucite or Vulcanite). I get mine at http://www.pipemakers.org/ • • 5/16 Delrin rod. Also goes by a few other names. You should find a lot of info online regarding it. • • 2 part epoxy (5 min, 12 min or 60 minute. I use 12 minute epoxy). • Tools used: • • A good quality forstner bit is essential in squaring up your stemel where the stem will meet the pipe. Get a forstner bit that is big enough for your stem area on your briar block. • • Drill Press for drilling airway, mortise tobacco chamber. • • Tobacco chamber bit in 3/4 or 7/8 available from Pimo Pipe Supply (http://www.pimopipecraft.com/) • • 11/64 long drill bit for air hole in shank. • • 5/16 drill bit for the mortise and mouth piece. Be sure this is accurate because cheap drill bit can be way off. I suggest a precise bit from Pimo. • • 1/8 drill bit for drilling a hole in the Delrin rod. • • Set of files. • Optional: • • Dremel tool with carbide cutter bits of different shapes. (to me a Dremel is essential for shaping the pipe and rusticating). A good quality Dremel can be had for about $40 to $70 and you can use it for numerous projects. • • Lathe • Tips: • • Take your time. It's taken me several pipes to learn to slow down, especially on shaping the vulcanite stems. A little extra time with a file, then 400 grit sand paper, then 1500 grit sand paper makes a big difference when you finally buff it with Tripoli buffing compound. After tripoli I change buffing wheels and use carnuba on the pipe and stem. • • Use a piece of tape to mark the depth on your air hole and your tobacco chamber. • • If you plan to rusticate your pipe do not light the pipe on fire to cure the dye. Lighting the pipe on fire works great on a smooth pipe but leaves a green film in the rustication on a rusticated pipe. All the green is very hard if not impossible to buff out with Tripoli compound.
