I love the Peterson spigots (with sterling on both the shank and the stem), like in the pic below. Is anyone aware of a supply house that sells the components needed to implement such a spigot? I would like to make a cutty with a spigot like that. http://pipesmagazine.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/file...

I agree with Nicholas. Cool looking pipe!

Baiguai, There are two kinds of ebauchon. One kind is for straight and the other for bent pipes. Tell the briar seller you want to make a bent pipe and they'll know what kind of block you need. There's a technical designation for each but I can't keep them straight. If your block is large enough, y...

Not sure if my question warrents a new thread (if so let me know), so I'll pose it here since it pertains to the question at hand. I've been practicing on cherry bowl blanks etc, and haven't yet worked with briar blocks. Nearly all the shapes I like have the shank positioned up from the bottom of t...

I love this pipe! Excellent work!

I LOVE the third pipe!

Gorgeous! Killer job on the case too!

Welcome aboard, good sir! I look forward to seeing your work.

I dig the intense look of the blast!

I had in mind which is the source du Clay Pipe. http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx91/ed_in_kent/ClayPipe_zps33a5dcf9.jpg As for the other issue, is absolutely priceless sight, and pipe it is made ​​entirely by hand. Best regards. Félix I think he means the line on the stem. It is wavy because th...

That is really cool! Might be sweet to keep the top flat and glossy smooth, then round the bottom, and go to a point and rusticate the bottom leaving all the top smooth. That's what I'd probably try with a shape like that.

Can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks so much for the dowel in the clamp! It makes life much easier.

I'm a pipe making noob still - I've made a couple pipes from cherrywood blocks and for personal use they are great, look ok and smoke real well. My biggest challenges are in drilling (I am using only a hand drill, hand files and sandpaper until I get more tools), alignment and angles etc. I also nee...

I'm a newbie at pipe making and haven't worked with brier yet (I've been working with Cherrywood as a learning material due to cost), but if it were me (referring to the original pipe you showed in this post) - even though it would be good for practice - I'd end up tossing it... and probably having ...

excellent! .. thanks for the feedback. I actually prefer acrylic anyway.

I have very few tools so I've been working with cherry wood dowels and hand sanding and buffing. I would like to weatherproof my pipe since I strive to spend as much time as possible at the ocean. Would a wax do the trick? and can this be applied by hand? I would like to keep the finish somewhat mat...

You say you're selling these? I'd love a brass version of the torpedo shaped one w/ the double lines at the top and bottom of it. Does that one also have a reamer/poker within it - like your latest one does?

I am VERY green to pipe making (so far just made a couple pipes using cherry wood dowels - kind of like the $5-10 meerschaum cherry woods). I've been making them in a similar shape to fantasy pipes I've seen described as Dwarven pipes etc. But I was wondering if there is a generally recognized shape...
