I made this videos as a request from someone wanting to know how I prep my briar blocks before drilling. This video is intended for people getting into pipe making and wanting to learn how to setup a block of briar. Several pipe makers have their own way of doing this, but this is how I prep my blocks. In this video I'm prepping a block to make a billiard tobacco pipe.
I realize this video is a bit drawn out. If was made after a 9 hour day at work and then a few more ours making pipes.
Sorry, I do not share my pipe templates. It's an important skill to learn, whether it's done freehand and replicated with carbon pipe, heavy card stock and traced, created in a program like Gimp, or as I have done in Photoshop. If you create your template using software, make sure you can print at the exact size as you designed. Photoshop does a very good job at printing accurately.
