Hey Baby. Show Me Your Rack.

[Akousticplyr]

Two racks now for my humble collection.

Left one was picked up after a Forum member’s recommendation from a Ukrainian carver. Smaller one is very old and handmade from eBay. On the bottom in pencil it says a name I cannot read with “Lebanon, KY. 1940”

I have this vintage Castello 7 pipe rack on display. ?

Anyone have recommendations for racks that can house more modern artisan pipes? I have a three tier decatur, but my newer pipes don't fit anywhere...

I have a couple others, but here's one I made out of a cigar box that holds full bents nicely.

@ssjones

I love it. Where did you even find such a thing?

it was at a pipe show (Richmond?).

Here are a few “racks”... One is a repurposed display case. I was hoping to be able to fit the Decatur 24 pipe racks side by side top and bottom, but the inside of the case was short by 1.5”. And I wasn’t about to trim the Decatur racks to fit.

Another spot has wire tie racks from the Container Store. I put heat shrink tubing on the tines to protect the pipes.

Another area where I keep Decatur 24 pipe racks in a “Laywer” bookcase with sliding glass doors...

Most of (70%) my pipes reside in boxes tucked away on shelves. And most of those (35-40%) have never been smoked.

Thanks. The display case was being tossed in the trash. I just happened along as it was being brought out. Lucky score. Just wish it was a little wider. Would look awesome with 4 Decatur racks...

I bought all of my racks years ago when one could commonly find them in second-hand stores. 5 of them hold 6-9 pipes. One of those is a revolving rack. Wish all of them revolved. Also have 3 2-pipe racks and 1 ceramic single pipe holder.

Where’d you find the clips and do they work well?

 

[mngslvs]

glad you asked. Actually those clips were a suggestion of Mike Glukler, Briar Blues.com. They are made for fishing poles, are coated with something that makes the pipes pop in and out with ease. I got them from Amazon, cheap. I’ve forgotten what they were exactly called, but they should be easy to find.

A few photos of mine. 3 of my racks hold 6 pipes each. The other rack holds 12

Hahaha! The cobs are too churlish to qualify for a place in the racks. ??

As much as I like my cobs, I don't care if they get a bit beat up
