First Real Pipe Rack!

[anthonyrosenthal74]

Some of you might remember the time I took one of those cardboard pipe boxes and made a four pipe rack out of it http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/cheapest-four-pipe-rack-ever :lol: With the use of some scissors and a green felt pipe bag, I thought it was quite clever of myself actually, and was still using it until about 20 minutes ago.
The Cheapest Four Pipe Rack Ever!

Well despite enjoying the above pipe rack for quite some time, I've really been wanting one made of somewhat nicer material... like wood or something. Well it took me forever, but I was finally able to put enough funds together to purchase this brand shiny new teak wood 12 pipe rack. It's nothing super special really... ok, for a little 12 pipe rack it's actually pretty awesome Lovely wood grain on this rack!

I ordered it through Cupojoes and although it was out of stock, I was assured they had a shipment coming in and it would be shipped out once they received it. I didn't have to wait too terribly long, as they received it the following week. It arrived today and I'm quite happy with it. A few of my pipes are quite large, so it was a bit of a challenge getting them to fit well, especially the Nordings. But I was able to get them in there. Getting pipes into the bottom half of the rack can also be a bit of a challenge, but all in all I'm quite pleased with it. I finally have something nice to display the objects of my favorite past time on.

And there it is with all of my pipes Well.... the Diebel and the Mastersen were loaners by Fnord (thanks again Fnord)to help me even out a seven pipe rotation a while back. He'll be wanting those back soon I imagine. They're great smokers.
And one final photo that has absolutely nothing to do with any of this post...

That's a nice one Anthony! Every man needs a proper pipe rack. Congrats!

Very nice! I also find myself without a pipe rack, perhaps I'll need to pull the trigger soon too, lol

Nice rack Anthony (giggles like a 5 year-old)... But seriously, that is a handsome pipe storage unit. We spend a lot of dough on briar, I think it's worth spending a few bucks to store and display them properly. it just adds to our enjoyment of the hobby. Great score.

Looks great Anthony! I envy you. I would love to have one that size but right now I have like 3 or 4 that hold 4-6 each. I don't have an area big enough to hold a larger one so I have these smaller ones tucked into some tight spots. They're functional. That's all I can say. You've got some good looking pipes, too. Wait to go! It is our favorite past time, isn't it!

Thanks everyone I keep walking over just to stare at it lol

 

[drwatson]

Nice Pipe rack and nothing says cool like Sean Connery with a pipe !!

 

[johnnyiii]

Indeed nice pipe storage unit. I unfortunately feel uncomfortable complimenting you on your rack. I dont know you well enough for that.
Nice pipes too. Sweeeet

 

[redbeard]

Awesome!! Glad you were able to get yourself one. A nice one at that!

 

[bigvan]

That is a GREAT looking pipe rack! And it looks like it's almost full!
But I gotta ask... what's up with the knife? And are those leather braces?

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

What can I say, Bigvan? I like knives, daggers, swords... I even have a pretty mean battle ax. Yes those are leather bracers I think the wolves, dagger, and bracers go well with the pipes lol.

Pipes, swords, racks. Anthony, your posts are always most entertaining. Next post I would like to see a scantily clad pipe babe smoking a gorgeous pipe wearing leopard skin and brandishing a long sword.

Outstanding Anthony. Congrats!

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

That sounds like a Frank Frazetta painting to me Yaz lol!

Beautiful grain on the pipe rack - enjoy it in good health!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Nice rack!! I wish we all still carried swords. I tried once, but it kept messing up the upholstery in my car.

 

[psychpipes]

Anthony, that is a nice pipe rack. I have a smaller one myself (like 9 pipes), and I should probably get another one as I have pipes all over the place. I do have a lot of empty pipe boxes and misc. pipe bags lying around so I may have to steal your ingenious rack idea for the time being.

Nice piece of furniture! I like the tamper also!
