Or she f, shoebox, whatever. How you you display you favotire pipes etc.? I built this shelf above my computer desk, mainly for my mortuary books, but school haveing been coplete for awhile, I decided to clen myh shelf and dedicate it to my new favorite pastime.
This is how it looked last month the shelf under it has tobacco and now a 3rd shelf holds pipes.
And this is Now. PAD/TAD getting out of hand.
I love curio cabinets when used to display pipes
A pretty simple setup so far:
Had to take three shots of my desk with my phone because my camera is broken 
I own four other pipe racks that I don't use cuz I just dont like em'
Forgive the varying quality... I'm hoping Santa brings me a better camera.
This is the main corner; 5 racks in a small space.
Two more racks. The top rack are Christmas presents from SWMBO. The middle row are all Petersons, the lower row are all Italian. The bottom two shelf rack is by Two Cousins Racks.
Close up on the main rack. All are made by North American carvers. Rack by Ken Lamb.
Three churchwardens. Rack by Two Cousins Racks.
Three level rack by Chuck's Racks (it's a shame he doesn't make racks anymore). All are British pipes. The 6 pipe Decauter rack holds the odds and ends.
Antique wall rack holding pipes owned by Dad and Granddad.
I'm not at home so I cant take a picture with my pipes in them, so I'll use the ones that were used on ebay. The one with the humidor is nice. The humidor/price/included pipes were what got me. The rack with the duck is What I'm most proud of. My favorite pipes go there.
Rack and the small dark pipe were found at a antique store for under $20 out the door. The rest of the briars were bought from a member here. Thanks Lonestar! Its an early Christmas gift for me from the family.
Sorry its on the TV for the pic, my computer desk is a mess. And yes, it is a PVC pipe rest. Had some scraps and got the idea. The Great Dane don't fit well, but my other cobs fit just fine. Well, except the minis.
Wow, some impressive racks there boys (how often is "rack" and "boys" used in the same reference?)!
I keep most of my pipes in shadow boxes because I hate the dust that collects on them in the Bar area (still unfinished thats why there is so much dust) it does a great job in displaying as well as protectiong them.

This was one of my Grandfather's high school "Shop" projects:
This is what I turned it into:
In it's place:
Here's the link to my original post over a year ago:
That's a pretty neat transformation Lawrence, wish I had more of my grandfathers things. Also a good reason not to discard something as at the time, you might know the potential! I have some homemade drawers from my wife's grandfathers work bench. He had them built-in and when they tore the house down, I saved some drawers. They're made with salvaged wood from the railroad, when the water towers were removed for diesel locomotives. I have one hung in our rec room with my toy knights from when I was a kid.
First two pics are of racks I keep in our computer room. Big one on desk was made from a CD rack.
Don't know what this was made for,picked it up at a garage sale. I use it in the shop to hold pipes that need restoring.
This is not really a rack but it does hold pipes, 108 when filled.
That Grabow retail display rack is killer ejames!
Thanks OTD !
Wow, I'd love to see that Dr. Grabow display in person, amazing!
Ejames, That is sharp. 
I don't have a man cave or a computer room so I keep my rack and baccys on the kitchen counter. 3/4 of my smokeable pipes were a gift from a pretty awesome person.

Awesome stuff, guys! Bigvan, I love the drilled out block you have for tampers. I'm totally going to make one of those!
That grabow rack is sweet. I dont have any racks or stands or anything
Close up on the main rack. All are made by North American carvers. Rack by Ken Lamb.
I am extremely envious of that racks contents!! Doesn't Ken Lamb also make pipe making tools?
Great looking racks and some awesome collections too.
Add about twice the amount of pipes and it looks like this:
Incredible, Juni.I keep my baccys in an ols "treasure chest" my grandma gave me when I was little. No real value other than sentimental. Stuff that doesn't fit it there are stashed all about the office (Closest thing to a "man cave" I have). If I ever hit a nice windfall I'm going to reference some of these pix for ideas on how to keep my pipes.
Here's a pic of my "Treasure"
Holy Christ Bigvan, that is one hell of a collection!!!!
Yeah, man. WOW!
Baron, drilling holes in a block of wood is about the extent of my woodworking abilities. That block started out as a 4x4.
Thanks vondutch. If Santa brings me the new camera I've been asking for (so I don't have to snap pix with my cell phone anymore) my plan is to start taking photos of each of the pipes.
ejames, yeah Ken makes both tools and racks. That rack matches the paneling so well it looks like a built-in! The guy does great work!
My Grandfathers pipes and rack I just got last year from my brother
This is mine I refinished

Nice Mike - I love those two After Hours Charatans - how long have you owned them?

My racks and baccy.
My tobacco collection is a bit more impressive than my pipe collection. When I have an enviable set up like you guys do, I will share some pics. For now ... 
sherlock ... how many ounces does the pipe in the right of the 2nd pic hold?
Damn sherlock. Lots of stuff going on there. YOU NEED TO DUST haha.
I do love that churchwarden though. What is it?
Zanthal to be honest I don't know, I have never tried to smoke it. It was my grandpas and apparently he tried a few times. I am sure it would easily hold 2 or three ounces unpacked.
Spartan I guess the camera really highlighted the dust I need to clean. 
These are all great pipe racks! Very creative guys, makes me want to go look for pipe rack and post it online!
I really have to update this photograph. My collection has grown since taking this picture, but here it is, my modest assortment:
Wow! I am starting to develop "Rack Envy" Guys.
I am starting to develop "Rack Envy" Guys.
Yeah, no kidding! I know I'm fairly new, though, and I can't expect to have an awesome selection like that without investing some time.
