Show Me Pipe Rack / Storage Options

[Jbyrd]

I built my own (but was too lazy to build drawers so I just stuffed a dresser in there and lined the drawers with flannel )

Here’s my pipe cabinet.

 

[Grangerous]

My sweetie just gave me a two drawer Sunglasses Case that I find easily holds 24 of my pipes.


The Cigar Humidor can hold another Ten.

Just over a month in, and this is what I've got going...
Picking up ideas from this thread, since this is going to get old really fast. (Like, really fast. I've already got two more pipes in the mail)

Just happened to come across this on Craigslist. Says it's in "East Dallas" so I assume that's Texas. If you like it, go for it. Ad says $200.

Unusual. I have never seen a pipe rack like that.

I like this pipe rack design i saw on some online store, but they are too expensive for me and dont wanna wait for a long time coz of the oversea shipping, so i made my own one, cost about 50hkd.

I have upgraded my setup!
I was looking to get something more appropriate to the collection I was gathering, and when I was unable to purchase a model I liked, a friend inspiringly asked, "Well, why don't you make it yourself?"





This is the first "real" woodworking project that I've had in years. Figured that this would be a good warmup before I venture into (attempt) making an actual pipe. I certainly needed the refresher on several things. I live in a small condo downtown, so not much space for power tools (and even less so for the sawdust and the rest of the mess) so I was really glad to be reminded about the TTL makerspace that's close to me.







I had a basic idea of what I wanted. I got inspired by a rack made by KAFpipeWorkshop (credit where it's due) where the pipes are on display slightly sideways. I thought that was much more appealing than the traditional approach, as it showcased the features of each pipe a whole lot better. If pipes are displayed sideways when they're being sold, why not do the same for your own collection?
I did take that one step further and decided to work with live edge wood. I feel it adds way more character. And in a way I let the slab of wood available to me speak to me. It more or less determined what I could do with it in terms of shape and form.

USPS boxes, drawers, random coat pockets, any uncluttered surface around the house, large antique silver plated bowls. Never been a fan of pipe racks for some reason.

I love this rack! You have skills I wish I had. Well done.

Seeing all your churchwardens I thought, "Why did this guy choose the username 'Templekeeper'? He should've really gone with something like churchwa... Oh."

New pipe rack purchased.

 

[Alejo R.]

They usually go from the boxes to use and then rest in the Pipe rack. I am looking for a piece of furniture to convert it into a Pipe cabinet.

I commissioned a sixteen pipe rack by JIEZAWOODstudio in China. I had to wait a little bit because he needed to photograph it for his Etsy shop (my rack is the one used for his photos of the sixteen pipe rack with tin storage below) and am very happy with it. Its width better accommodates my wider pipes than my twenty-four or thirty-six Decatur racks, which are narrow (they’re from a different era when pipes tended to be smaller). My biggest complaint about the Decatur racks is that any lower rows that have holes for stems can mostly only fit straight pipes. These options can cost hundreds, but, bargains can be found.

These days, I’ve switched to just getting ProSource 18 sunglasses boxes, which can be used to display or close up and pack pipes. The limitation is the size of the compartment when it comes to the the length and width of the pipe. For medium and small pipes, they’re great. Amazon has these for twenty bucks a pop.

I tried one of these 18 slot sunglasses cases but I had too many pipes that didn’t fit well in it. I wish they had ones with bigger slots as they work great and are really affordable.
