The title should be An Amateurs Guide to Briar Pipe Making Start to Finish, but it was too long. Keep in mind I am not a professional, but just do this as a hobby. There is 7 parts to this build series. Instead of trying to cut the process down and make quick videos I shot video of every part of the pipe making process.
I've had a lot of people ask me different questions about different parts of the pipe making process so I decided to do a start to finish video. Keep in mind that I am NOT a professional and am using pretty cheap tools. My only intention is to help those that want to give pipe making a try as a hobby and not how to make a professional pipe.
2021 Note: I have created a new pipe making video series showing how I make one of my Danish style pipes. If you'd like to check it out go to the playlist at:

Materials needed:
• Briar block available from online pipe supply or on eBay. I suggest only using briar.
• Pipe stem (Lucite or Vulcanite). I get mine at www.pipemakers.org/
• 5/16" Delrin rod. Also goes by a few other names. You should find a lot of info online regarding it.
• 2 part epoxy (5 min, 12 min or 60 minute. I use 12 minute epoxy).
Tools used:
• A good quality forstner bit is essential in squaring up your stemel where the stem will meet the pipe. Get a forstner bit that is big enough for your stem area on your briar block.
• Drill Press for drilling airway, mortise & tobacco chamber.
• Tobacco chamber bit in 3/4" or 7/8" available from Pimo Pipe Supply (www.pimopipecraft.com/)
• 11/64" long drill bit for air hole in shank.
• 5/16" drill bit for the mortise and mouth piece. Be sure this is accurate because cheap drill bit can be way off. I suggest a precise bit from Pimo.
• 1/8" drill bit for drilling a hole in the Delrin rod.
• Set of files.
Optional:
• Dremel tool with carbide cutter bits of different shapes. (to me a Dremel is essential for shaping the pipe and rusticating). A good quality Dremel can be had for about $40 to $70 and you can use it for numerous projects.
• Lathe
Tips:
• Take your time. It's taken me several pipes to learn to slow down, especially on shaping the vulcanite stems. A little extra time with a file, then 400 grit sand paper, then 1500 grit sand paper makes a big difference when you finally buff it with Tripoli buffing compound. After tripoli I change buffing wheels and use carnuba on the pipe and stem.
• Use a piece of tape to mark the depth on your air hole and your tobacco chamber.
• If you plan to rusticate your pipe do not light the pipe on fire to cure the dye. Lighting the pipe on fire works great on a smooth pipe but leaves a green film in the rustication on a rusticated pipe. All the green is very hard if not impossible to buff out with Tripoli compound.
