FAQ's:
"What type of glue do you use?"
I use Titebond Type II Dark Wood Glue. It's the same as the regular Type II, but dyed to dry a dark caramel color. I think this might be the best choice for exotic hardwoods since they tend to be darker than most domestics.
"What type of finish do you use?"
I use Salad Bowl Finish, which is not only non-toxic, but food-safe as well. In conjunction with that, I try to sand up to 600 grit whenever possible, which will give you a better finish.
"What about using [some type of wood] as a bowl instead of Cherrywood or Briar?"
I take my technical cues from the tobacco pipe industry, and Briar is king with Cherrywood being second. Aside from Cherrywood, I also use Gaboon Ebony occasionally, but that's it. I don't currently have personal experience with any other type of wood for bowls. Check out this link for acceptable alternative woods to use as bowls: pipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_Woods_Used_For_Pipe_making
"How do you clean a wooden pipe?"
With a pipe cleaner, of course! If you'd like to harvest resin, you can do that with paper clips and such so long as you're careful not to dig into the wood; that would give you splinters in your resin, and that's no fun. I *DO NOT* recommend digging around the bowl for resin as this might disturb the "char layer" (the burned interior of the bowl) which is essential to a prolonging the lifespan of your pipe.
"Where do you get your wood?"
I've been getting it from Woodcraft.com, but I think I'll go through www.bellforestproducts.com/ the next time I get wood. Bell Forrest seems to have better prices.
Hey gary I have a very important question. Could you make a pipe out of a standard piece of 2x4?
pipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_Woods_Used_For_Pipe_making
What are your thoughts on bone as a bowl/stem material?
@@Th3Class1c that wouldn't be a terrible idea. Pine is a very soft wood so it wouldn't be durable enough. And pine resin is very flammable. I make shavings of pine to start my campfires. Not to mention pine is very often treated with chemicals. Horrible for the lungs.
@@stanervin6108 I've done that. I wouldn't reccomend by way of breathing in bone dust or the burning bond itselt since bone tends to be pretty brittle. Antler isn't a bad choice however for a stem but not the bowl.
I'm really impressed that you were able to make this video while stoned out of your gourd
I am man of many talents. /bow
Nice green tobacco that's my fave to hahahaba
Whacky tobaccy
@@janieblair3444 i see you have been around looking
That 'ol wacky tobacky
Well that tobacco must have gotten to your brain because it's spelled "too"
Way better than tabaco. Feels better and it's better for you
At first, I wondered why you would make a carb pipe for tobacco smoking.
Then I realized...
+NarlepoaxIII Word. Well spotted.
NarlepoaxIII around 4:50 notice the pill bottle....I do the same lol.
Gary Harmon I just made a pipe out of elk antler now to just get it finished. So far it looks awesome for my first attempt at it, on a random spur of the moment "let's make something idea".
Lol yup !!!
Perfectly legal tobacco, mate.
something tells me these pipes aren't meant for tobacco use
Devin Petersen shhhhh, child.
Weed pipe base on the design :)
Yeah, I came to see pipe making, and I see bowl making.
Devin Petersen, shhhh...
Devin Petersen lol
You had me when the video started and you scolded the bad pipe makers. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR, DAMMIT! I'm in.
i love everything about this video
+GL HF 😀
dude you're fucking awesome
+Sneak Well thanks a bunch!
This should have more views.
very well made, presentation and all.
props to you man!
+TheMaddGodd 😊Much thanks! I got some more vids in the works so keep an eye out.
Gary's Wares
great video I'm really curious on how your going to do that rotten cherry pipe please keep us post on that
+Trevor Williamson Thanks, and yeah, I'll post something. Although, the blank isn't rotten. That's a really big naturally occurring knot; it's usually the place on the tree where a branch starts growing. I love stuff like that.
The pipe I'm going to make out of that blank is *hopefully* going to be sold to a tobacco shop. As such, it's got to be really, really good, and I'm not quite at that level yet. I might get to it this summer.
+Gary Harmon how about a pipe made out of pine?
Im the 69th like lol
THANK YOU for this wonderful video. I have made a mini pill bottle pipe and a mini carb pipe so far. What I love is how you teach the basic concepts that make a good pipe, and then the few designs. There is so much room for creativity and improvising, but the sketch with dimensions was great to get me started.
I've been looking for a tutorial for a carb pipe for a while, this was absolutly perfect, well shot, well narrated, simple to follow and no BS filler to stretch out run time.
My only critique is gluing the chamber to the bowl as it makes it nearly impossible to adequately clean it, I'll be making a press fit when I make mine.
incredible video over all.
This was excellent instructional. Especially like how you showed the steps at 9:30
Thanks for sharing.
+OnceUponAPipe Thanks for the feedback. I'm just doing what I love!
Thank you for this! I started making pipes specifically for cannabis, it is a lot harder to find good videos that are not focused on tobacco.
I've been interested in starting a woodworking shop and business, and pipes were one of the things I wanted to do. This is a great video for information. Its very useful and very much appreciated
Love the fact i can come back and glance at the thumbnail and know what to do, best step by step guide, good work
Appreciate the info on alternative woods. We have a farm where all the white oak and iron oak is getting harvested to make way for black walnut. Plenty of stumps to get material from for a while.
You Sir will never understand how much I tryley appreciate you breaking this down barney style. I'm stoned and this really made 100% chance and left me with no questions. This video left me the desire to buy you a case of beer but only if we drink it in my workshop.
Cheers Man, a great video. I'd love to see the tobacco pipe finished. Good work. Easy and straight forward demeanour. Respect.
I loved this vlog and learned a lot. Thanks so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for the explanation, I was ready to make my own pipe. Thanks God I saw your video! I didn't know anything about shapes, woods, types of pipes, and tools. Thanks good man.
I'm just getting into woodworking. This was very informative and to the point. Jam on man!
+LAIDBACKMANNER Awesome! Glad I could help!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Best regards from Santiago, Chile!..I follow you!
Brilliant ! Love the opening. Simple , fun and informative
Made one with a machete, a nail, a hammer and a saw
Cool
This was such a fun, simple, straightforward video. Subscribed.
Thank you Gary this video has helped me alot for guidance to what I would like to do
Nice work bud. I Learned a few things on the carving process and what wood to use. Gonna go try making my own now.
Excellent special effects!
"For the other pipes i made." lol This is a great video. Appreciate the info and the wisdom this man provides. Good job.
Love the way you explain this!
so detailed, thank you
Great video! Much appreciated!
Great channel for a smoker like me. Thanks for showing me all this, wouldn't have known about wood selection and such before now.
Thank you especially for the diagrams, very thorough!
+Rose Wheeler No problem!
Hey man I loved this video! I’ve been smoking for about 4 years now and you still taught me some stuff I didn’t know about pipes; I’m gonna try to make one!
I believe that is a cove router bit that is missing it's bearing. Very informative video! Thank you Gary!
There are some without bearing, like dremell's ones
Dylan's DIY Workshop I just came from your channel
Cove bit with a pilot
Amazing video thank you so much it really helped a lot
Thanks for making this video. I'm going to attempt making my first tobacco pipe as a gift for a friend soon and will be referencing this video often as I work on my project.
Love your style man!
thank you, this video was very helpful
Very nice work, you re making some real one off pipes. Thanks for sharing tips , info etc. Good stuff my brother. Peace.

Hay Gary i like the way you make your pipes I'm a pipe person and i like to at lest try and make one or two but i like to thank you for putting it on you tude so cool.
dude your videos are something special. keep it up please, I'd love to see more
+LegitBrucelee23 Well thanks! I've actually got another video I'll upload soon!
Gary, I don't smoke at all but love artisan work. you do a very nice job, especially highlighting the basics. It has inspired me to try my hand at it. have you made an vids of regular sized tobacco pipes? keep up the good work....
This was a highly enjoyable video.
Very informative man! thanks man!
This is so wholesome, thank you for making this
First time seen it and the intro captivated me right away.
Really liked this video.
Informative and nice to watch and listen to. Good shit man.
Nice video, help me so much
Hello Sir! Loved the video. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you very much for sharing! Greetings! Brian
Finally a decent video on pipe making, thanks dude you're the best.
+Abdelilah Amraoui No problem! Thanks for watching!
This was a good video 10 seconds deep AND BEYOND. Thanks
beautiful stuff man.
Dude you are an awesome person. Keep up the vids!
I have Ben making pipes for 12 years, been very fortunate to have gained guidance from Shultie, Tinsky, West, Marshbanks, and emails with Renee Barbie.
You have a solid foundational video, looking forward to your continued success.
Ps: Oak is a NO! Release toxins
MELHOR JORNAL DO BRASIL !!! SO FERA
Really dig the chamber idea.
Dude. Thank you!!
Love the video! Cheers!
I loved the video and am now interested in making one but I have a question about the wood, I have these hickory wood chunks that claim to be 100% natural and are for smoking food, I’m interested if you have any input about this, they sell cherry hickory and many other hard woods in chunks about the right size to make the pipe and are fairly cheap, curious if you have any quarrels against using them and if so where you would recommend to actually find the wood
That intro tho :o. the best vid i've seen so far. ty for the insight man!
@Gary's wares new sub from Appalachian mts stoked to make my first pipe!
And load it w some Appalachian OG
hey buddy, what was the intro to this video, the song is beautiful and amazing craftsmanship!
You're freaking delightful. Thanks so much for a great vid, subscribed in hopes that you're still at it.
Thanks Gary! Im a 13 year old pipe maker and your video really helped me a lot since I am new. Now I have practiced and gotten better thanks to your advice and now make them as gifts or to sell or use.
Right on, man! I’m glad I could help you out with something you like doing! What I love about wooden pipes is that they’re functional art that doesn’t shatter like glass if they get mishandled. I’d eventually like to make something mechanical out of wood. Future content, future content.
But look, as an adult I have to say the following: please don’t smoke out of any of your pipes for another 5 years or so. 🚭 I’m sure you’ve seen my wrist tattoo and that’s serious business. The last cigarette I smoked is 5 years behind me and I’ll never have another if I can help it. I’ve in fact given up pipe tobacco as well. My doctor has actually diagnosed me with respiratory issues that are no doubt related to cigarettes. Breathing is good, cigarettes are bad.
I don’t regret cigarettes, but that’s primarily because I was 19 when I started smoking and it was a conscious decision that no one pressured me into. In fact, the guy I got my first cigarette from begged me not to do it. I’d ask the same of you. Please don’t smoke. 🚭
@@GarysWares I'm glad you're speaking up and helping. I actually have only had a smoke from them about 2 or 3 times, as I enjoy making them and engraving them more than using them. And when I do use them its just green tea. It tastes fine and is good for testing. Thanks!
Video was great. Reading comment was good time also! Been wanting to make one, video was helpful.
+Joseph Coonrod Thanks! Good luck with your own pipes!
I wanna make a long stem pipe and have been doing the research on youtube when I ran into your tutorial. I have to say, nice job. Not only did you provide awesome information but you did it in a manner that was entertaining to watch. ALL the other videos have some stuffy dude that bored the hell out of me. I'm now a Gary fan and can't wait to binge watch the rest of your videos. Keep up the good work.
+Greg Betts Well thanks a lot! Yeah, I mainly made this video because there wasn't much out there that I found very helpful. I'm glad you like my vids; I always love it when I find a channel like that.
It's a cove bit, I believe. Fantastic work sir!
Its been a long time since ive seen a video that ive liked so much that i couldnt stop watching it. keep up the good work loved the video
+TTM Coy Well thanks for the compliment! I don't quite know what I'm doing, but I'll keep it up!
We all need somone like this in our lives, very smart and knowledgeable with pipes and green tabacoo
great video. would it be possible to get a list of woods you've used that are fine, and woods that are a definite no go
Good job 😊😊
Have you ever worked with grapewood, I carve knife handles but sometimes carve pipes and I love grapewood, it adds a robust little flavor when you are smoking
My god, that intro was awesome!! Now watching the rest of it, as far as I am now (like half way) its very good! I dont know why i have interests in making a wooden pipe because I dont smoke at all, but it seems like an awesome project :)
Awesome video. Glad you left in the part with the mouthpeice at the wrong angle that cracked me up!! Good Fix!!
Hey @garyharmon cheers for the upload very informative. I was planning to use a washer on the bottom of my bilbo baggins pipe. Hopefully to stop burnout. Is there any issue with adding steel to the pipe?
Ps your using a coved router bit to drill the bowl. Nightmare of a router bit coz without the ball bearing it burns the shit out of the face. You have found a perfect use for an orherwise useless tool. Legendary tip
Just made my 1st pipe from cherry. Came to this video to find out how or if you finish it with oil. I almost went and bought one but remembered I have a wood shop and ton of scrap cherry! Haha great vaccum test!
Awesome video! What sort or finish did u use on the pipes?
I made a pipe while I was deployed and the way that I made the bowl was to take an old spade bit and ground it to the shape I wanted and sharpened it. Worked perfect
Hey Gary, great tips here. Where do you find the best prices for cherry wood blocks?
Great video! Been trying to find a good intro to pipe making and you’re the only person I’ve found taking the time to explain the details.
Two quick questions, what do you finish with? And when you say the bowl should go with the grain do you mean that the grain should run vertically down the bowl so the growth rings and curve of the bowl generally line up or did I miss understand that but?
"Salad Bowl" brand wood finish
Hey man big fan I loved the video. I just wanted to ask if you have showed in any other videos about how to square a blank but if you did please let me know and if not would you consider making a video on how to square a blank?
great video man! I am a beginner having done just two pipes and doing my first chillum,but watching your video a doubt came to my mind.is it stupid to make the piece that keeps the material from falling a bit concave? I never saw one like that and I would try to make it like that.
Hey Gary, what kind of screen do you use for these pipes? Also is there a particular finish you should not use on them because the heat will cause fumes? TIA
➕ 1 kawan satu propesi sangat detail dalam mengerjakan suatu karya 👍
Just watched this one and I'll day you know what your doing. So my question is have you every used anything like whitetail deer antler for the bowl. The glue that you use (the tightbond type 2) van that be used for glueing the bowl with the first part of the stem. I have 3 pieces I'm using the bowl and turn will be antler and the stem will be clay. I had a nice clay pipe that the bowl busted and couldn't get back together so I've cut off the rough part and made a straight stem with the remaining good part of the clay. Those two will be able to separate but I do want the antler pieced to be fixed permanently together. Can that glue you mentioned be used for how I'm wanting it to attach?
Love the intro I knew by the music and school movie theme I was going to learn something
Saya suka dengan tutorial pembuatan pipe cangklong.
Salam dari indonesia.
Hi Gery old mate. What is a good and safe Australian wood to use for a pipe bowl and stem?
I liked the video. Have a large pile of scrappy, gnarly, birdseye ribboned cherry chunks (from splitting a tree for firewood) for future craft projects like this pipe. Gonna have fun with this.
Great vídeo I just like to know how to finish, do you just sand of paint too
