Great video. Glad you included the warts. I’m not a craftsman myself, and am fascinated by the creative-and learning-processes. Billiard variants are my favorite. A stout, slightly appleish nosewarmer like that would be a great car pipe.
Really enjoyed watching this Simon start to finish. Thanks for sharing this with us so completely and I give u major kudos for showing it after the mistake. Still think that pipe turned out well and has some abs beautiful grains. Glad it could be saved. That's what I wud think is a higher end shop pipe if u so choose to keep it that way. Thanks again!!
I enjoyed the warts and all approach very much indeed. 👍 That's what I do in my videos when I'm servicing and fitting parts to my Royal Enfield motorcycle. There's no point in kidding people on that the job is easier than it actually is, because when they go to do it themselves and it doesn't go like the 'slick' video they've just watched, then they end up feeling stupid.
Simon, May I make one small suggestion? When you install a bit into the Jacobs Chuck, tighten all three of the keyways. That might help with your bit alignment. Otherwise, it's a great video.
You spent a couple of hours using newly learnt skills to craft a pipe out of a block of briar and in the process snatching victory from the jaws of defeat...that Sir in this day and age of general malaise and navel gazing is commendable. I salute you 👍
Well done. Highly entertaining and informative. Just remember, handmade is the point. Sometimes it’s not perfect but beauty lies in the imperfection of the craft.
Would using a brad point drill bit reduce the drill wobble? Also noticed that you slide the tailstock in to start drilling instead of locking down the tailstock and feeding the bit in for the draft hole, would a lower rotation speed make a more accurate draft hole cut? More of my experience is from a metal lath and not wood. Pipe does look nice!
I think you'd save yourself a lot of chatter if you locked down your tail stock. This is much more important with a woodturning lathe, such as you have, rather than the metal lathes a lot of pipe makers use.
Admiro su honestidad en reconocer y mostrar los pequeños errores cometidos, que sirven de mucho para el aprendizaje de los que miramos su vídeo. Y el resaltar que la perseverancia y la concentración son dos aptitudes básicas para esta tarea. Si me permite quiero hacerle una sugerencia y es que intente utilizar "gubias" en el maquinado de la cazoleta y el tubo, en lugar de el "cortador o sesgo" que utiliza, de esa manera podrá lograr un mejor corte de la madera, curvas y necesitará poco lijado en el torno. Seguiré sus vídeos. Saludos
Chissà se riesci a dirmi il nome della ditta che mi può vendere i due sostegni a L per il mandrino? Ho provato a cercarli su internet ma senza alcun esito. Ti ringrazio in anticipo per quanto vorrai e potrai fare. Grazie.
Hi everyone, I bought a lathe, but the parts are wrong for holding and drilling a pipe - does anyone know where I can get the proper bits, ie chucks and drill parts? :) thanks 😊🙏
Simon, from what I saw, you were trying to split your attention by filming/narrating and machining this pipe. Either task is a full-brained activity. May I suggest setting up the shots for the best view, turning the camera on, then just working as you normally do. You can add informative voice overs when you edit. Doing this a few times will condition you to having a virtual audience as you work. Once this happens, you can add real-time narration as it will come naturally. Either way, the resulting pipe was darn cool. As for the air passage, that drill is very long considering it's narrow diameter. Consider shortening that one at the back end and re-grind a chamfer on the end,, or getting a shorter one that will be more resistant to wandering. Dull cutting edges will tend to promote wandering also. Abom79 has some excellent drill re-grinding tips here on YT.
I was wondering for a while why you didn’t shape the shank right after drilling the mortise... 😉 I have got the same lathe as you, where did you get your briar jaws? Have you had them made or bought them somewhere?
Please be safe and use an overhand grip not an underhand grip when you’re drilling you have no place to go if you use the underhand grip and you’re gonna go ahead and damage your thumb and that’s no fun at all , Thank you.
Edison also had a team of people working on “his” ideas, one of whom included Nikola Tesla 😂. Edison pushed for AC power, because his financial backer(Westinghouse) wanted to monetize the new electrical grid. Tesla advocated for DC, which would not have been as efficient in terms of costly transmission lines, but would deliver more power albeit at shorter distances from a generating station. Sadly, Edison gets much credit beyond his own merit, and many of the silent people behind the scenes never received and recognition for the work they did with his name on it.

Beautiful work 😮😮😮😮😮
Enjoyed the video Simon, And the pipe looks awesome. All the best.
Simon watch every bit of your VR. Great end result. Very helpful to see the changes needed to save the pipe. Much appreciated👍🍭🐓👶

I've bought more seconds than "perfect". Perfect makes me feel out of my element. Keep on keeping on!
Very cool nice seen anyone ever make a pipe before

Excellent, watched all of it, even more interesting after our conversation 👍

You and Doug. Tied for best elbows in the YTPC👍😁
Informative. Thank you for sharing.
I'm in the UK, can I ask where you got those chuck jaws from?
I think you'd save yourself a lot of chatter if you locked down your tail stock.
This is much more important with a woodturning lathe, such as you have, rather than the metal lathes a lot of pipe makers use.
Indeed, I do lock it down, this video was some years ago. Thanks for the tip
What kind of lathe is it and where did you get it and the jaws you use ??
How long did this take you from start to finish?
Fantastic Simon. I’d love you purchase one of your pipes. Where’s that accent of yours from? (Original that is)
cheers, you can email me any time lcsbriars@gmail.com I'm a Londoner born and bred

Also have you tried turning the tenon from the front should be more safe for you
hello nice video, very interesting. where can you buy pipe brands? and are they suitable for all types of spindles? thanks
Beauty of a pipe. Looks like it could be a clencher, being that it's so light weight. 👍🏼👍🏼 Well done Simon! Watching you make pipes never gets boring.

Hi, I bought the jaws from Vermont Freehand
London Calling with Simon Thank you, I will check them out!
@@henrikflygarepipes5471 vermontfreehand.com/tooling/
@@londoncallingwithsimon6817 this is what I suspected and thanks for confirming! Are you using a Nova or Oneway chuck? Something else?
@@peterskarlatos9026 I'm using a British one by Robert Sorby
To be honest I don’t remember. Pipes take me anything from around 4 hours upwards
Please be safe and use an overhand grip not an underhand grip when you’re drilling you have no place to go if you use the underhand grip and you’re gonna go ahead and damage your thumb and that’s no fun at all , Thank you.
thank you
Try drilling the draft hole first,it will probably stop the chatter.
Great video but I still say briar sucks buy a meer.
Simon, is it for sale?
sorry I've already smoked it
No problem sir. It was a nice pipe.
Edison said he didn't fail 9,000 + times trying to invent the light bulb but learned how not to make it 9,000 + times.

How did it smoke LC?
