My Latest Invention (Pipe Locker/Case)

[Humblepipe]

My passion project... to build the perfect pipe storage unit. I am not there yet, but am inching closer. This is my 4th iteration. It has its downsides. For one, a damn vintage suitcase is expensive! This one is 7"X10"X15". I hollowed it out (removed internal storage accessories) and then installed some plywood I covered with brown velvet. Found some stay-brackets on the web that are rubber coated. Installed those on the plywood. Plywood simply glued to the inside of suitcase with liquid nails.

That looks nice. Well done. Now I’ve got to go tear up my luggage.

Love it! Very creative repurposing of older stuff.

Classy. Very well done.

Nice job, but would be very expensive and offered no place for accessories.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Very nice. I'd sacrifice 3 pipes with of storage and put in a small box for accessories. Nice work.

On each side of the handle make saddlebags that drape over suitcase for accessories.Doesnt have to be expensive leather, make 2 and drape them fore and aft of handle

this to my mind looks like a prop from a bad scifi movie. One where real tobacco is illegal and some guy in a trench coat is going to show this to someone else in a dark alley before the neo coppers show up. In other words it's awesome.

Very nice! I just toss all mine into an old wet walmart plastic bag and they bump around with each other. J/K.

Cool! I’m thinking that you could get twice as many pipes in there if you flipped every other pipe... one up, one down... kinda like stablebrush52.
