Just wait until you see what gwtwdbss and I are creating. Taking an antique design and redesigning it to hold more pipes and storage,

Well, lets see it already! 
@sebastian. I'm still drawing up the plans, and gathering the materials. It will be nice. My biggest problem these days is my full-time job keeps getting in the way. Don't they realize I have things to do. Lol. I'm just happy my clients are patient fellow pipe smokers.
Everyone has such nice pipe stands. Here is one of mine. Wouldn't mind someday trading it for a pipe.
Some really nice racks on display here.
Here's a photo of my set up.
Wow Kashmir, that is a REALLY nice set up. Did you build or buy your racks?
Thanks!
All used eBay racks.
Here's a close up of my favorite line up.
(Jeeze, anyone know how I can shrink the photos? I'm tagging the IMG from Photobucket.)
Jeeze, anyone know how I can shrink the photos?
is there a diagram online somewhere for the measurements to build a simple pipe rack? i would love to make one for the mancave.
That's an awesome collection, Kashmir!
Well it ain't much guys, but after only a month I feel like I'm off to a good start
Here, I have to use the "thumbnail" link from Photobucket, or they are gigantic. (on SF, you can use the regular photo image link)
Thanks Al. Nice to see you here. I'll try that out.

I can't wait. it is gonna be a real beauty!

What a great looking lineup!

I'd rather wait patiently because it is gonna be so sweet! What is a few months when the outcome will be a treasured heirloom for generations to come?
Again, great looking racks/cabinets guys!
smokeybear, looking for something like this design? I found it right here at pipesmagazine

Edit: Sorry can't fix the pictures. Try using another host. L.
Just got the pipe rack today. I ordered it on Friday and despite the weather it still got to me crazy fast.
Built This one over Christmas Vacation
Hey, that is pretty cool Archer! Steam-punkish!
We were goofing around flea markets last weekend. No pipes but I found this neat little corner rack for $9, to go above my smoking stand. It holds three of my favorite pipes and Westie stands. It fits in with our dining room furniture, which is also circa 1930's (hey, coincidentally the same age as that Comoy's) We have a lot of old Westie/Scottie dogs and one fits nicely on top to go with the theme.
Here a new picture is my setup:
This is my jarred baccy and most of my unopened tins:
The cigar box in the back is where I keep my snuff, the two in the front are baccy. The one on the left is for non-english blend, the right for english/balkan blends. I also have two unopened two year old tins of Balkan Sasieni:
Well, it isn't gonna be the biggest or the best, well , I think perhaps it will be the best to me anyway. It will months of collaboration and true piece of art when finished. I grew up around wood and adore the finer ones. They
seem to be more scarce as time goes on.
To give you a hint. It is cabinet or a place that a fellow and rest his hand on. Underneath will be a storage of my pipes. The design looks to be a 36 to 48 pipe cabinet. Something that has not been seen since the 1950's. At least not in a free standing floor design. Trust me , It will be ground breaking.
Until then, this is an old Walnut piece a picked up to tide me over, sitting on a Cherry Pennsylvania House serving table that my Mother gave me.
Those are some good looking setups guys.
Here's mine a before and after:

I recently inherited this display case:
This is my pipe rack I made out of a pallet behind the EMS station where I work

That is pretty neat work aj - from scrap wood!
Its always nice to see wood re-purposed into something useful. Nice rustic and usable design. Good job.
Thanks, guys!! 
I'd be more than happy to make any of you guys one. I know y'all would use it as much as I have. I have a big passion for re-purposing scrap wood. Plus it's just fun!! lol
Here it is in action
aj: what do you use to cut the u-shaped indention for the bottom bowl rest?
I just used my Dremel sanding tool to grind the u-shapes into the bottom. This wood was pretty soft, so it wasn't too terribly hard to do. It just needed a bit of control to shape
Below are some pictures of my cabinet. It is actually a book case my great-grandfather made during the depression era. I inherited the cabinet in 2005 when my great-grandmother passed away. I primarily used it as a display/book case. It wasn't until just a few months ago that the thought occurred to me to use it as my pipe cabinet. The thought should have struck me sooner, I can't believe it sat under my nose that whole time. It is certainly very special knowing that the cabinet has been handed down and that my great-grandfather was also known to puff a pipe or two.

beewrangler2 and TopD are my heros. Some really nice cabinets you all have here. Hummm...
I love that bookcase Jeff. I'm looking for the same thing, it matches our dining room furniture set (from 1927) perfectly. I can't convince my wife to let me use the China cabinet for pipes. She wants to keep our China there, which makes no sense...
(BTW: I showed my wife your case, she says "that's not a book case, that is a China cabinet". See what I'm working with here?, )
I appreciate the compliment Al. I failed to mention earlier that when I thought about converting my bookcase to pipe cabinet, my lady friend said to me, "your just now thinking about that, I thought a long time ago that you should use it for your pipes." I was shocked, to say the least. But I know I have a keeper.
I peruse the antique shops in my area about every month or so and I haven't come across another cabinet like it, but I know they are out there. It really is perfect and although I want to outgrow it, it keeps my TAD and PAD in check.
I hope one day you are able to find that "china/pipe" cabinet you've been looking for.
I bought this for my Zulu/horn pipes
That looks great Peter! I'd love to have something like that in my office. Kudos
Thank you, I love dark wood
keep checking craigslist in your area a lot of secretary and misc cabinets on there.
for you guys that need a lot of room..
these folks are always open to bargaining esp if you have the manpower to move it for them.
Pete I love that cabinet. I really like the left hand side...the way you see the rectangle shape through the glass oval. It doesn't unbalance it at all, it's looks like Owl eyes stuffed with goodies.
Thanks, I believe it English or at least the humidor is
Uberman3rica, what is the pipe that is in the pipe rack with the duck, I am interested in the middle pipe. I have just won a pipe that looks very similar to that but has no info on it. I would love to know who made it, the one I have seems to have a Danish style to it. Let me know. Thanks.
Here's a combo picture of my two six pipe racks.
Holy crap, I had no idea so many people had such incredible racks and numbers of pipes. I have four pipes and a few unopened packs of tobacco. No rack, just a drawer in my dresser . . .
Sorry picture did not uploaded.

Here she is! I worked on this last fall after getting fed up with having my pipes everywhere and constantly collecting dust. It holds 51 pipes and has 2 sliding plexiglass doors on the top for the pipes and 2 on the bottom for the tobacco and accessories. I haven't done much woodworking in the past so this was a fun and rewarding learning experience. I'm not much of a cigar smoker but my local tobacco shop sells the empty boxes for $1 each which make for a cheap and handsome place for things like pipe cleaners and such on top of my dresser. Oh and take note that I have plenty of room to expand my collection.
very nice guys.
Nice-looking set up, Vabriar! I use cigar boxes to hold my pipe cleaners, too, along with the plastic bags containing my current rotation and samples.
Thank you very much gentlemen.
