Cool videos, thanks for posting! There was a How Its Made marathon on today, so I did little but watch. That show fascinates me.

Strange indeed, perhaps the uploader has blocked the UK, this is what I see:

It's probably just you; you're not allowed to steal Dunhill's secrets.

Dunhill guys need that white spot to keep the stem in the upright position. :drunken:

DUH! THAT'S why they put it there !!! :twisted: :twisted:

Can you imagine the mess you would make getting that bent stem upside down?
Sometimes youtube blocks stuff in certain countries. I've no idea why, but I'm sure it keeps some lawyers happy.

Oh ploppy, and I was so sure I was gonna discover some radical secret too, no fair.

Hey Kirk - I think this is the same video uploaded by a different person. (The other version was uploded by the Science Channel so probably block all non USA IP addresses)

Hand made????  Dunhills ????

Thank you, my bro' for posting this video. I always wondered how HANDMADE pipes were produced. Now I know; they use their HANDS to operate the MACHINES which MAKE the pipes.

I wonder what Savinelli use to produce their MACHINE MADE pipes?

Actually, the process demonstrated in the Dunhill video is much closer to the manufacture of a hand made artisan pipe than say the production at Savinelli or Peterson. Think about it. The video shows us someone cutting the pattern out on a bandsaw and then turning it on a late. He even bored the tobacco chamber by hand, not with a presized bit. That process is very similar to what I and nearly all artisan pipemakers do.

At a place like Savinelli they put a block of appropriately sized briar in a chuck, press a button and viola! The pipe is essentially done save for finishing and the stem. Giant fraizing machines programmed by a computer do all the heavy lifting. Slap in a prefabricated stem and ship the sucker. In the Dunhill video they actually use real solid rod stock for their stems, granted with a fair amount of jigs to make the process easier, but it is higher quality material.

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of shoddy workmanship going on in that video and in most modern Dunhills, but the process we saw demonstrated is not the process implied when one say "machine made" pipe.

Try looking in the Pipe History Thread area here. I posted pics of Savinelli's pipe production from the '50s ( which from some recent pics I've seen is still the same today ) . As far as Dunhill ( not really Dunhill anymore, they are now called White Spot, as Dunhill no longer has ANYTHING to do with tobacco stuff :twisted: ) and frazung machines, they couldn't make repetition of standard shapes WITHOUT them !! Maybe not as many as Savinelli, but both firms use some standardized production methods for the type of product they make! :twisted: :twisted:

I'm going to visit the Savinelli factory next year in April. And buy myself a Savinelli NUOVA GIUBILEO ORO and visit the Ferrari factory and drive a F1 car and.....can't wait!! WOW!!

You will be buying what is probably one of the FINEST pipes made today !! Savinelli's Giubleo d' Oro series is definately THE finest standard shaped pipes made today and yes, I'd have to say FAR BETTER than the current products made by White Spot today !! We need pics when you get back !! :twisted: :twisted:

That is going to be awesome! Savinelli does have some high end lines for sure. I'd definitely like to see some photos of that!

Monbla, remember to bring lots of flash powder for your camera, okay?
