Segmented pipes
Segmented pipes
Has anyone ever made a segmented pipe? Was wondering how that would work
Re: Segmented pipes
I'm not sure I follow what you're asking. Can you be more specific? Do you mean a pipe with multiple sections that can be disassembled and reassembled? What would the benefit of such a design be?
Re: Segmented pipes
No, I'm talking from a wood turners prospective. I make pens, and bowls etc that have several different pieces of different type, and or color of woods glued to make up a single blank, or block. Then it's turned down to create whatever it is you're making. Just wondering if that was ever done for making a pipe?
I'm only a few weeks into this pipe making adventure, just thinking of other ways of doing stuff
As soon as I figure out how to add pictures I will post a segmented bowl

Re: Segmented pipes
You wouldn't want to smoke anything along a glue line for one thing.
Also, with the small surface areas of a pipe, gluing two faces together is not sufficient. You almost always need a mechanical joint to hold two pieces together, some type of mortise and tenon joint.

Re: Segmented pipes
I understand what you're saying about the glue , however the surface area would really not factor in because your gluing up a solid block, and turning the pipe from that.
Thanks for your reply

Re: Segmented pipes
Check out Steven Downie's stuff online. He has made calabash pipes with segmented wood like that the n either a briar or meerschaum insert for the actual smoking.
Re: Segmented pipes
If you were going to do something like this for a more traditionally shaped pipe, at the very least you would want the tobacco chamber lined with briar or meerschaum or some other proven smoking material. I would think, though, that the expanding and contracting from heating and cooling of a pipe would be problematic over time with any material that has a glue joint.

German pipe company, Vauen of Nuremberg, been making such pipes for some years now: http://www.vauen.de/de/pfeifen/wood.aspx
They're using briar inserts. Guess if it didn't work, they'd quit making these in the meantime ...

Every time I see this question I think what was the name of that company that does this? Thanks for being all over this Jos!

Re: Segmented pipes
Interesting looks for some, others not so much. I wonder what glue/adhesive they use to prevent delamination?Jos wrote:German pipe company, Vauen of Nuremberg, been making such pipes for some years now: http://www.vauen.de/de/pfeifen/wood.aspx
