Pipe Making: A Black & White Bulldog

Рет қаралды 165,627

Күн бұрын

Several years ago one of my most loyal customers wanted a Bulldog based of a Radice Silk Cut Pure Bulldog, in black & white, with a 9mm filter. So obviously I made him one.
Now, another customer was so charmed by this pipe that he wanted an identical one.
Due to natural variations in the wood, an exact copy is never a good idea, but this pipe came very close to the original.
Pipes like this one are always a challenge due to the diamond shaped stem, which still requires a comfortable mouthpiece.

I got into making pipes about a year ago. they are still slightly crude because I have no lathe, only a sander and drill press but I make it work. This pipe is beautiful though

@MassisPipes 2 жыл бұрын

@@maggs131 I'm afraid I disagree. Yes, you can make pipes without a lathe. Any experienced pipemaker would be able to make most shapes without a lathe. It would simply take much longer. However, there's not a single fulltime pipemaker that I know that doesn't use a lathe, nearly all of which are metal lathes. The fact of the matter is, lathes make pipemaking a LOT easier and it's not even about shaping the pipe, which is almost always done largely on a sanding disk. It's about drilling your holes exactly where you need them and being able to perfectly face a surface perpendicular to a drilled hole. Without a lathe, making a pipe with a flush stem without any light gaps is an absolute nightmare. With a lathe it's pretty easy. Finally, details like the ring on a bulldog are nearly impossible to do without a lathe.

Greetings. sincere compliments for your magnificent pipes! they're really beautiful. but is a normal wood lathe suitable for making them? I'm talking about the home hobby ones. I would like to know if it was possible. A thousand thanks a warm greeting.

@MassisPipes 15 күн бұрын

A metal lathe makes a lot of things easier and faster, but you can surely do it on a regular wood lathe or even without a lathe altogether!

I noticed that you used home made woodturning tools from chisels. Is this something that you would recommend for the beginner ? Are they as good as the much more expensive stainless steel tools ?

@MassisPipes 2 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't even call them "homemade", they're simple wood chisels that I use on my metal lathe, ground to a profile I like. The round one I use is actually bent from use because it's not made for this, and I really should replace them with some decent tools... So no, I would definitely NOT recommend this. Buy a set of decent quality small woodturning chisels. If you don't have any experience in cutting techniques, opt for ones that have carbide tips. Something like the Easy Wood Tools Easy Start finisher would be very useful in the hands of a beginner.

Hello! I just came across your channel and I found this video amazing! I would like to know 2 things 1. Where are you based and could I order a pipe for Portugal? If so how much would a pipe (billiard bulldog or a prince ) would cost? 2. I just started making pipes and I don't know what I could use (besides carnauba wax) to finish the pipe. What could I use to bring out the grain of the briar? Thank you very very much!! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

@MassisPipes 2 жыл бұрын

thanks José! I'm based in Belgium but I ship worldwide. However I'm currently not yet accepting new orders, as I'm still working though a backlog. Your best bet is signing up to my newsletter at www.massispipes.com The 'default' finish for a pipe is sand to 400grit, stain black, sand 600, stain topcolour, buff with tripoli paste, polish with white diamond paste and finish with carnauba. You can get a VERY shiny finish that way :-)

The white material is an imitation ivory made from acrylic. It's perfectly safe to use for pipes. It's the same compound almost every acrylic pipe stem is made from.
