How Do You Make A Briar Pipe Using Dremel Tools?
Pipe smokers are known for the pleasure they take in not only smoking their pipe, but from collecting them as well. Many pipe enthusiasts even enjoy making their own pipes. Dremel has been around since the early 1930s, providing power tools and attachments for serious woodworking hobbyists. Put this powerful tool to use to make your own briar pipe from rough cut to finish. Purchase an ebauchon from a pipe-making supply shop. An ebauchon is a piece of briar in a rough block and ready to be worked. You can choose plateaux briar instead, which is a piece cut from the top part of the burl. These pieces are more expensive than the briar ebauchons but yield less flaws. The plateaux briar pieces have rough tops that can be sanded down or left on for a more natural look. Think about the pipe you’d like to make. If the pipe will have intricate carving, make a sketch on paper before you begin. The visual reference will be helpful while you work.
