I am and have been a pipe maker since 2003. I make each of my pipes one-by-one from scratch in my home studio in San Diego. My hope is that these videos will give behind the scenes context to my work, and that they will educate and inspire those who want to learn the craft.
The Chicago Pipemaking Seminar
Every year at the world’s largest pipe show in Chicago, IL a group of world class pipemakers gather to share the skills and techniques of their craft with a group of students. Students walk in the room with empty hands, and leave with their own pipe crafted by their own hands. The seminar is lucky to have guest instructors who have traveled all over the globe drop in to offer tips, tricks, and share their experiences as craftspeople.

Making a Bent Bulldog Pipe - Pipemaking from Start to Finish
Просмотров 66 тыс.Год назад
This time around, I wanted to show you all how to create a slightly more complicated classic shape than I did in my billiard video. The bent bulldog, or Rhodesian, has been around for more than a hundred years and is a little tricky to make well because of the diamond shaped shank. This introduces a problem with the internal drilling as the shape of the stummel’s bottom is often too thin in old...

To answer a frequently asked question about this video: the texture is created by sandblasting. Unfortunately, the footage I recorded of this process was corrupted and I was unable to use it for this video. If you would like to see how I sandblast, you can see it in these two videos: ruclips.net/video/EBSoeeYqdxA/видео.html ruclips.net/video/5BmEPEciDxw/видео.html This video demonstrates the st...

Practice makes perfect. And experimentation on your own can lead to some fine results. Yet, there's nothing quite like seeing how a professional approaches a set of problems that you are faced with.

There are many similarities to the work that goes into a standard mouthpiece, but some of the difference...
Saving a Smooth Pipe: Removing Flaws on the Fly
Просмотров 11 тыс.3 года назад
Every pipemaker would love to produce nothing but perfectly grained, flawless pipes each and every time. But that’s just not in the hand we are dealt, as workers in briar. Flaws are an inevitability when working with this finicky and beautiful material. But what we do when we encounter them is what separates beginners from the very best. In this video I address how I handled a particular flaw t...
Three Minute Tip -- Cleaning the Airway

I'll show you how to make a really useful tool to safely ream the airway in the stummel, and then how to use denatured alcohol and pipe cleaners to clear out the mouthpiece. It's fast, easy, and hopefully helpful. Vi...
Restoring Pipe Mouthpieces Without Power Tools?
Просмотров 49 тыс.4 года назад
We have all dealt with the same problem. How do you clean all that nasty oxidation off of your favorite pipe? I mean, oxidation is an inevitability with even the highest quality ebonite, but how can you get rid of it without a shop full of power tools? Moreover, how do you clean it up without ruining it? In this video I show you how to restore the glossy newness of your favorite mouthpiece with...
Let’s Talk About Hand Sanding
Просмотров 13 тыс.4 года назад
Refining and finishing a handmade pipe is largely a task done with little more than a piece of sandpaper in the hand. But factories are able to make some really nice pipes without hand sanding at all. So, why wouldn’t a pipemaker just spend his or her time practicing and perfecting the skill of sanding with a machine? In this video I address this question and then present several of the tools a...

What's in a mouthpiece? I mean, come on, it's just a piece of molded plastic that you hold in your teeth. It can't be THAT complicated.

Making an Ivorite ring

In this video I show you how I finish a sandblasted pipe and then proceed to make a ring out of Ivorite. It’s a quick overview, and I can go into more detail in the future. While, I set out to finish the pipe entirely for this video, I didn’t quite get to the mouthpiece. So, that just provides an opportunity to make another video in which I make the mouthpiece. Thanks for tuning in, and let me ...

Beautiful pipe you made.. gorgeous piece of art! Can I ask you, what did you use as a "treatment" inside the bowl? I wonder what it is if it doesn't affect tabacco taste or arome when it burns. Thank you.
What a cool idea and experience!
I always enjoy your videos😊 I was curious where do you acquire the stamp tool with your logo you press into the pipe? I am looking for something similar, Cheers
Excellent presentation!! Very helpful information!! Keep up the sharing bro 💪
Wonderful vid. Thanks for sharing. I miss making pipes.
Can I ask where you source your tower jaws from? Thanks, great video!
Awesome work!
Never showed how he drilled the part where tobacco are inserted.
Hey Jeff, fantastic video and what a beautiful work of craftsmanship. Was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing a bit of info about your sanding setup that you show with the AC drive (i.e. type of motor, HP, etc.)? Thanks in advance! (p.s. Sorry if you mentioned already. There are a lot of wonderful comments to go through on this video!)
I see an addition to my rotation!!
The end result looks like a shriveled nut sack.
Is this just for vulcanized or is it safe for Acrylic too?
Thanks, works well. Took about 10 minutes per pipe and a little longer for heavily oxidized pipes. The White Diamond compound was very good to give a luster to the stems.
As a woodworker and pipe smoker this is the ticket. What do you use for your bowl bit?
Wondering somethis video. Is 4 years old. O, you do still some pipes? I would like to have information.
They make a blue compound 1 oz bar that is multipurpose even including plastics. It's a finer grit. But just an option as well. Great video
Extreme Above any level ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
15:17 - nice earrape man )
Man kann auch - vor lauter Wichtigtuerei - so lange herumschleifen, bis beim Holz mehr da ist.
I always wanted to make one for my dad. I cannot anymore. Don't wait people. Just do it.

OK. What causes light colored pipes to darken as you smoke them?
Great job my friend!...what is the powder you add after inking that melts due to heat? Greetings from Argentina.
What type of tube was the mouthpiece made of, sir? Is it acrylic or another material?
What did you Staind inside the pipe?
Stunning pipe, very well done. It is not a shape I have in my limited collection but it is certainly one that appeals.
I don't smoke anymore but this pipe is a beautiful objet to handle superb work congrats
Parabéns pelo Belo cachimbo produzido, feito por um bom artesão!
How did you make that rough texture? It’s not in this video.
If that's how you freehand a pipe then you'd be amazed at all the hydraulic cylinders I've freehanded in my day
Great music, great video
What rmp are you running? I have my French wheel on a 6” bench grinder but it’s only one speed. I think it’s too fast the the fold over part keeps flying up.
Beautiful pipe, it looks so tactile!
I enjoy watching you make pipes nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Porque no lo ponen traducido?
The one part I wanted to see you didn't show.....
very good to see this process. I have some nice cherry wood burl I have sat on for years, planning what to do with it. I was thinking a nice pipe bowl, with a deer antler stem. This has given me ideas. Thank you
superb can i purchase a pipe from you. ???
2:23 First blink Jokes aside, amazing video, thank you for doing this as well as your series on pipe-making!
Hey, what diameter of nozzle do you use?
Probably time to get yourself a new pair of jeans.
That coffee looked superb
Ok. I'll take it :)
What’s the sanding disc called?
I’ve been looking for that tool but can’t find the correct term for it. Thanks for your help.
what powder did you put on the pipe in 34:38??
Luar biasa bos.mantap sekali👍
Where do you purchase your briar?
Hello Jeff, thank you for that fantastic video. The pipe is amazing. For me as a rather new pipe maker there are so many things i can learn from that. I have read through all the comments and i am shocked by the behavior and disrespect and just lack of appreciation some people have... the quality of the video is really really really good so i can only assume that there are a lot of working hours inside of these 30 minutes. So thx again. After reading all the comments and your answers I'd still love to ask you two questions, and i'd totally understand if you wouldnt want to answer these: 1. You mentioned that you are using shellac before the Carnauba Powder? Is it cut? And do you really spray it or apply it with a pipe cleaner? 2. I know that many pipe makers (including you if i remember right from another video) apply oil on smooth pipes. What are the best options there? Danish oil or is there better? Do you use any kind of laquer after the oil or do you just polish after using and drying the oil? Thanks again andbest regards from Austria Alex
Great video, thank you!
Nice‼️‼️
