A real time view of the steps the Danish pipe maker "Former" (Hans Nielsen) takes to complete the shape of a Billiard - uptill final sanding and finish.
Almost wanted to take up smoking again so I’d have a reason to buy one of those little works of art, so beautifully crafted and great skills to watch and cherish.
Now we can all see how much artisan work is involved in those beautiful Former-pipes. They are expensive because of the sheer amount of perfect handwork. They always look beautiful. They feel great and they smoke delicious! Master pipemaker at work here!
It was very cool to see a master in his element. There is no wasted movement, he knows precisely what he’s looking for and how to achieve it. I love watching his process of shaping, and the orderly way he takes off material to keep things symmetrical! I will watch this many times as I continue to learn. Thank you Lars, for the time and expertise to bring us this production!
3/4 through and this is a labor of love! Like a child...taking the time to form their character in proper ways. Such a profound process...giving new, even greater, appreciation for evey last pipe bought on a whim...thing is my whim was someone elses long labor and skill. Thank you for posting this and thank you UA-cam algorithms for suggesting this master class proper. Ill never smoke another pipe the same....ever! Respect. ✌😎
I like how he spent so much time and care shaping the bit. I know from my own pipe smoking past that having a bit that fits your bite and feels good in the mouth is the most important factor in whether you will like a particular pipe or not.
Great video Lars, I can tell this man has passion in making pipes and it gives much enjoyment for people smoking them. I can watch for hours. Thank you both for taking the time to make this video, much appreciated !
I have about 30 various pipe making videos saved on UA-cam, in an attempt to hone my pipe making skills, knowledge, and ability. This is by far one of the best videos I have seen. A big thanks for such a quality production. A master indeed!
Thanks very much Lars and Former for such a brilliant video. In particular, I really enjoy watching the methods of hand-cutting the mouthpiece and I am now trying to improve my mouthpieces still further by watching this video as often as I can. Former is a true master!
Very satisfying video, Lars. This will likely be the closest I will ever come to being in Former's Workshop. I felt for a brief moment that I was sitting by his side watching. Thanks for such a close, personal perspective. It's wonderful to see you post a new video. I hope someday I will have the chance to meet you amd thank you in person. Warmest regards, Loren.
Amazing Video - so much detail - perfection I am a hobby pipemaker but this made my jaw drop Great skill and dedication. love this video sooooo much Thank for this amazing video guys🤩🤩
Hello Lars, It's been a while since we've gotten to see your fine video productions! Excellent work! Former pipes are truly great works of art. Very much enjoyed this...Thank you sir! Cheers, James
Just wow, got into pipe smoking again after years. Learning more about it now it is nice to see such skill and craftsmanship that goes into making a handmade pipe. Just amazing, can't look at pipes same ever gain :-)
Salve mi chiamo Guido, le faccio i miei complimenti lei è un buonissimo artigiano ha costruito una bellissima pipa! io mentre ho guardato tutto il suo video, fumavo una pipa dritta della Brebbia e fumo la pipa da quando avevo 19 anni ora ne ho 69, però lei avrebbe dovuta anche lucidarla bravissimo davvero una bellissima pipa, ok la saluto cordialmente e spero di vedere un altro suo video parte 2,la saluto cordialmente e spero di vedere un altro suo video chi le ha commentato Guido Formisano da Marano di Napoli a presto.
Lathe work is so impressive- it's like the hardest etch-a-sketch. You have dials that move your bit through every axis (left-right, up-down, front-back). Looks like it would be really challenging but this guy makes it look so effortless.
Thank you for a very educational and entertaining video. We applaud your skill. Could you share with us what kind of wood you used, and also what kind and brand of dust collection equipment you use?
An incredible craftsman doing something he enjoys and demands perfection of himself. Awsome to watch the attention to detail. The world will soon miss the work of the craftsmen of all trades who strive for the best job they can do. We will soon be doomed to accepting half assed products by purple haired millinials cranked out on 3-D printers while they Facebook and whine about working 25 hrs a week.
I think it will come back as people will be needing hobbies. Automation will take over a lot of jobs in the transportation sector (Tesla, Boston Dynamics) which is 10% of the US workforce. Those people won't all be able to find new jobs. Universal basic income may become a necessity (if it works) but what are all of those people going to do with their time?
I was thinking. This Guy absolutely must go into a zen state while doing this fabulous art work. Then I realized I was in a zen state watching this entire video ! the relentless monotonous noise has allot to do with it.
Der Schnitt (und auch die untergelegte Musik) ist sehr meditativ; weniger als informative Dokumentation geeignet als vielmehr ein bewegliches Gemälde eines Handwerks. Nice, aber nicht so ganz das, was mich interessiert hätte. Deshalb habe ich auch weite Teile übersprungen, vor allem das Mundstück ist Spielzeitmäßig sehr übergewichtig weggekommen. Und was leider ganz fehlt, ist der Endschliff und das Finishing (der Pfeife, nicht des Videos 😉). Ich spreche natürlich nur für mich, aber für meinen Geschmack hätte es dem Video nicht geschadet, ein bißchen weniger "real time" zu zeigen und stattdessen vielleicht entweder Zeitraffer (wenn man einen ganzen Prozeß zeigen will) oder einfach mal was überspringen. "Mut zum Weglassen" hat mein Dozent an der Filmakademie immer gesagt. Lieben Gruß aus Lübeck, Marcus

Look we’re the craftsmanship really is ! In the mouthpiece. And so many people covers it with horrible rubber bits. The buy a great Dunhill but smokes it with rubber bits. It is so stupid !
Salveno sempre io Guido ex torniere, come va tutto bene? sono sempre io l'ex torniere, e ho visto la sua lavorazione della pipa, e a fine lavorazione mi sono innamorato di quella pipa che verniciandola in colore marrone io lacomprerei perchè è il modello che desidero di averlo, è una bella pipa, ma non so come potrei acuistarla da lei! se mi direbbe quando si può prendere in privato, ma non so se si potrebbe lanciarla la mia mail in modo di contattarla, è davvero una bellissima pipa, mi faccia sapere cosi ci mettiamo d'accordo io sono un pensionato, e posso pagare anche il corriere e l'articolo quando potrò pagarla,ok aspetto la sua risposta grazie, mi stia bene cordiali saluti suo osservatore Guido a presto.

This guy's precision on the sanding disc is EPIC!
I'm a machinist, watching this gentleman he is a machinist, and a woodworker and both are artistic the combination is DaVinci! 😁
I could sit in his shop and watch him make pipes all day. Gentleman like this are the top of pipe making.

Un maestro all'opera. La pipa è normale, ma il livello dell'esecuzione è altissimo.
we really need another video like this. this was excellent!
Greatest sound ever when two angles plane out on the lathe and under the file. Beautiful work. Good blend of freehand and machined technique. 👍👍
I like how he spent so much time and care shaping the bit. I know from my own pipe smoking past that having a bit that fits your bite and feels good in the mouth is the most important factor in whether you will like a particular pipe or not.
If he gives his wife this much attention to detail she's a very happy woman🤗
Great video Lars, I can tell this man has passion in making pipes and it gives much enjoyment for people smoking them. I can watch for hours. Thank you both for taking the time to make this video, much appreciated !
Thank you so much 🙏😊💨
The process and cinematography are a perfect match. Thank you for the work of making this film.
Thank you for your encouraging comment 😃👍
Nice minimalistic look/design. Nothing superfluous, no bs, all business. Clear lines. Beautiful pipe.

What a amazing precision on the rough sanding disc! Thank you for this great video!
Great joy to see the old master creating a master piece !
Thanks for sharing !
Fantastic video! Always nice to watch Former at work. 👍💨💨

Amazing Video - so much detail - perfection
I am a hobby pipemaker but this made my jaw drop
Great skill and dedication. love this video sooooo much
Thank for this amazing video guys🤩🤩
If you had not been able to see his hands, you would swear it was a CNC process. Smooth, quick and precise movements.
Great Work ❤👋
Hello Lars, It's been a while since we've gotten to see your fine video productions! Excellent work! Former pipes are truly great works of art. Very much enjoyed this...Thank you sir!

Hi James, Thank you so much - and great to see that you are around - I guess we both are too busy these days... All the best, Lars
A true master of the art. Works focused and calm. Wonderful.

That would the pipe to own. The one you watched being created by a master.
Thanks Lars. Really enjoyed this.
Pazienza, tanta pazienza e conoscenza.......Ecco come vorrei trovarmi, cosa mi piacerebbe fare. Queste sono le mani di un Maestro
Amazing Talent, I was always curious as to how a pipe was made, start too finish
Thanks a lot for an amazing portrait of a master at work!
Tjaml you so mu j for making this video my former pipes have given me hours of enjoyment hope to see more of your videos
Just wow, got into pipe smoking again after years. Learning more about it now it is nice to see such skill and craftsmanship that goes into making a handmade pipe. Just amazing, can't look at pipes same ever gain :-)
Was für eine wunderbares Glück, sein Tagewerk so zu verrichten 🤓
Danke für's zeigen
Viele Grüße, Robert
Just by the care that is taken in making this, I can tell that only the highest quality plug or flake would be smoked from this pipe.😁
The confidence is amazing!
Beautiful work !
Would love to see you make more pipe smoking videos Lars! It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from you.

Beautifully crafted pipe, and amazing piece of art.
My favorite way to spend the day.
Beatiful.....a masterpiece!
A master at work
No doubt about it
Lovely pipe
Simplest of shapes
Hardest to make
Requires steadiest of hands
And the sharpest of eyes.
Amazing video! Thank you! 🙏
awesome video!!!

I love a good pipe! It feels good to fill and light and hold, far superior to the cigar!
So satisfying to watch 💨
Beautifully filmed the Master and his masterpiece Lars.. Best Wishes from India.. Keep up the great work! 👌❤️
Wonderful video, Great work! ;)
Like a Meditation.
lovely work, satisfactory to watch
Приветствую вас мастер! Очень тонкая работа.Напоминает труд моллюска, который из маленькой писчинки делает изящную жемчужину.Браво!
Luar biasa.anda terampil sekali👍 semoga anda dalam keadaan sehat selalu pak.salam dari indonesia
My goodness... remarkable!!
I'm 5 minutes into this, and know what I want to do with the rest of my life.
Great Video , I also make my own pipes and do metal Artwork will be putting videos on UA-cam in future thanks again for your great work .
Thanks for the interesting video.
Amazing style. Makes me want to make pipes.
...and now watch one of those automated machine videos and recognize all the real people those factories putt our of work!
I wish we got to see the final product in color !
Bonjour de Saint-Claude.
Je suis très content de vous voir en plein action. Toujours passionné. Amitié Laurent de chez CHACUM
I love the pipe and I know the bowl is supposed to round on the bottom but if you stop it at 13:20 13:21 it looks way cool that way as well . . .
Beautiful artwork! You would benefit from a foam backed sanding disk.
Amazing
Thank you for a very educational and entertaining video. We applaud your skill. Could you share with us what kind of wood you used, and also what kind and brand of dust collection equipment you use?
Why didn’t you show the mouthpiece being fitted and what is the material used ?
A mio giudizio le pipe danesi sono perfette da fumare e belle da vedere.
My man spent like five hours on the mouthpiece alone🤣

I love the Danish master videos ! where can I buy a Former t-shirt ?!
Thanks - the Former shirt is not produced for sale....
Xin cảm ơn kênh nhé chia sẻ video đẹp
11:20 I'm curious. What is the grit you pipe makers use to shape these nice wooden pipes?
Lækkert lavet Lars. :)
I was thinking. This Guy absolutely must go into a zen state while doing this fabulous art work. Then I realized I was in a zen state watching this entire video ! the relentless monotonous noise has allot to do with it.
Hallo sehr interessantes Video, ich würde gerne wissen welche Drehbank das ist ? Gruss Al
Does anyone know what type of sanding disc that is? I’ve looked high and low and can’t find anything that looks like that.

Anyone: Any idea what is done with all the briar shavings? (Assuming its briar)
what wood is used, or other wood available
Is it possible to order the same pipe? Is Master makes on order?
Yes, that is possible - just contact Former in an email: former@formerpipes.com
❤
I wonder how many times a novice gets whacked by that rotating stock, before he realises it's always there.
Good morning...Sunday morning...

whats the value of this pipe please
Why's it in black ans white though? Color would have been more enjoyable. But that's just my opinion. Still a dope video

So what was he before?
A professional pipe maker now a master
Look we’re the craftsmanship really is ! In the mouthpiece. And so many people covers it with horrible rubber bits. The buy a great Dunhill but smokes it with rubber bits. It is so stupid !
Dont get me wrong, Former pipes are amazing, but in no way shape or form are they worth 3k.
