Hallo Robert,

vielen Dank. Freut mich, dass Dir als Nichtraucher meine Arbeiten trotzdem gefallen! Deine Sachen gefallen mir auch richtig gut! Ich hatte vor ein paar Jahren auch mal mit dem Gedanken gespielt mir einen Bogen zu bauen. Bin leider nie dazu gekommen. Aber ab und an schaue ich mir sowas gerne mal an.
Schöne Grüße aus Hannover und gutes Gelingen weiterhin,

Dirk.

Servus Dirk, vielen Dank zurück! Als Nichtraucher heißt das ja nicht, dass man(n) sich nicht auch einfach so eine wunderschöne Pfeife nicht auch mal anschaffen will - für die ruhigen Tage, woaßt scho' .
Du, ich gebe auch Bogenbaukurse (www.regiondo.de/holzbogenbau in münchen, zwinker, grins.
Du bist direkt aus Hannover? Meine SchwiMu kommt aus Hannover, haben da auch noch Verwandschaft (Tante, Onkel, Cousins).

Scheene Griaß nach Hannover - und falls Dir der Klaus Meine oder Rudolf Schenker über den Weg laufen, klopf sie mal von mir .

Robert

Hallo Robert,

genauso sehe ich das Pfeifenrauchen auch. Für die ruhige Zeit. Ist bei mir auch ein Genussmittel, welches ich ausschliesslich bewusst konsumiere. Ganz oft habe ich aber auch nicht Zeit dafür. Man kann sogar sagen, dass ich mehr Pfeifen baue, als rauche.
Das mit dem Bogenbau ist auf jeden Fall interessant, aber wenn ich so ein Hobby angehen würde, dann auch richtig. Und dazu fehlt mir leider die Zeit. Aber die Technik dahinter interessiert mich als freiberuflicher Möbeldesigner schon. Wenn ich das richtig in Erinnerung habe, erlangen die Bögen ihre Flexibilität dadurch, dass die einzelnen Jahresringe, bzw. der äusserste, nicht durchtrennt werden. Diese Eigenschaft könnte man sicher auch für Möbel einsetzen. Fänd ich mal interessant. Die Grüße an Hannover richte ich aus. Der Meine-Klaus und Rudi Schenker sind wahrscheinlich grad am Billard spielen bei den Schröders.
Beste Grüße und einen schönen Wochenstart,
Dirk.

Wünsch ich dir auch, lieber Dirk. Falls Du mal mehr wissen willst übers Bogenbauen mal so von der 'Therorie' her, kauf oder such nach der "Traditionellen Bogenbauerbibel" Band 1 - 4, siehe Verlag Angelika Hörnig, da steht ALLES drin. Sehr umfassend, schön zu lesen.

Auf den gebogenen Stock!!!!

Grüße an Meine, Schenker und Schröders

Robert

Hi, sorry for my late respond. I am quite busy these days.
Thank you for invite me to cosmic roots. When I have more time, I will take a closer look on that.

Best regards,

Hi, no, I haven't. But I'd like to try it one day. I have contakt to an turkish Meerschaum Pipemaker. I guess he can give me some advice. You will see, if I have tried that.

Taka67 In reply to Pipemaker [2012-02-20 13:01:39 +0000 UTC]

I have an idea for a meerschaum, it's randomly geekish, but I think it'd be cool. The bowl would be a sphere and carved like the Death Star from Star Wars.

I mean, it wouldn't be any worse than a skull carved one, which you see all the time. LOL

Hi, thank's for your interest in my pipes. I do make custom pipes. The churchwardens cost 150 Euro including the stand, exclude shipping.
The small one cost around 70 euro.
If you are interested, we can design a pipe together, or I design a pipe as you like it.
The pipes are usually without filter, but it is no problem to make a pipe for filter using. It will cost no extra money.
Please don't mind my bad english.

Thank you very much!! I´m glad that you like the pipes i have made.
Your pictures are great as well. I would really like to visit Alaska. But unfortunately my girlfriend thinks Alaska is cold all the time.
So, feel free to order a pipe.

Hi, thanks for the comments and the faves. I´m happy that you like my pipes.
But I don´t understand so clearly, you want to know, where I buy the Bruyere and Ebonite? I can give you some adresses, if you need.
I never tried to make a Zeppelin. Although it´s a quite interesting looking pipe, I have heard that it´s very uncomfortable for smoking.
So long, let me know, when you have made a pipe and show me the pictures,
greets,
Dirk.

BlackTowerOfTime In reply to Pipemaker [2009-03-20 08:54:02 +0000 UTC]

Yes some addresses were useful. You can send me a Personal Note with them if you don't mind

I never tried smoke a Zeppelin, so I cant say its difficult or not But to have a good one constructed were the glow hold good and even will be difficult. I done 2 days before 2 little bad sketches of 2 pipe configurations. The problem maybe will be a proper equal distribution of the air flow. Also some people cover the head opening with the thumb sometimes while smoking. What this will bring technically, I am unsure with. Maybe it make more turbulences in the incoming air and suck it more from the rim so the glow may get different.

Hi,

thank you for the message. It makes me happy, that you like my work.
Later I will post more pictures, but the last half year I haven´t much time, because I just finished my study in July. That means many examinations.
I am jealous about your homecountry. Finland must be so beautiful. In wich part do you life?
Now for the churchwarden:
first point is, you need a turning lathe.
I hope you school has one, but I guess it does, if it´s a good art school.
The you need a "gun drill".
It´s very easy to make by yourselve.
Here you can see how this tool looks like:
[link]
under the number 3 you can see, that it´s easy to make.
Buy a piece of steel with 3 or 4mm thinkness/aperture.
With a rasp you can make it looks like the picture.
The length is as you with. My gun-drills are around 40cm.
Now take a piece of beech wood. I think 3 x 3 xm thinkness and 30 cm length ist enough.
Clamp it in the turning lathe and the gun drill in the other side of the lathe.
Sorry, I don´t know the english name for it.
Start the lathe and let the drill come to the wood. It must put in the middle of the wood by you first. Later, it center by itselve.
You must put out the drill every 2cm for let the drilled wood came out. Maybe you need compresse air to let it come out.
After you make the hole in the wood, you can let the wood become the size you like.
Then put it in some hot steam for 2 hours. This makes the wood become weak and you can bend ist very easy.
It helps to make a form for bend it, because it must be for two weeks in the form. Then you can be sure, that the wood is really dry again.
Now you can use it for a churwarden.
I hope you could understand my explanation.
If not don´t be shy for ask me more.
If you need, I can draw some pictures for better understand.
I wish you good luck.
Bye.
