Show Off Your Spinning Pipe Stands / Racks

[AroEnglish]

I just got one off of eBay recently and it’s got me curious about what other folks have.



This holds 9 pipes and does great with straights and pretty good with bents. The pub pipe doesn't sit the best in it but it gets the job done. Also the little oom paul beside it jiggles or comes off if I spit it real hard but I don't plan to be doing that with any regularity.

50 something year old Decatur my dad bought at Iwan Ries. 9 pipe plus cleaner tube and a tamper hole. Holds 4-6 ounces in original jar.
Still unpacking from move, so this old pic will have to do.

I’ve seen one like that on eBay and thought "why is there a big cylinder on one side?" Clearly the obvious use for it.

What's the rack beside it?

What's the rack beside it?

A two tiered nine pipe rack that I got at Goodwill for 2 bucks. There was another one there just like it, but I called a friend and he went and grabbed it.

That's a winner! I like the staggered design and the open slots for the stems. If you get a chance, could you send a full photo of it? I've been wanting something just like that and if I can't find one I'll try to make one myself.

Have 5-6 6-9 slot pipe racks but only 1 of them revolves. Those are a bit of a rarity. Wish they all did.

You appear to like Peterson! Like the stand.

These are my preferred stands because they rotate. I put the pipes in bowl side up so they are easy to take out as I smoke mainly bents. In a perfect world I would only have enough pipes to fit in my 3 rotating racks like this. So 27 pipes. The nicest one has a tamper holder and pipe cleaner holder.

I do! These are the only pipes I had on hand when I received the stand but it’ll be full of Petes all the way around.

I went with the cutout slots as I wanted ease of removal, especially for my bent pipes, but I didn't think about putting them stem-side down.

Bowl side up is just easier in general. Even for straights. Every pipe is so different. Theres no one size fits all pipe rack

Thought this thread was for showing off under sized girlfriends. That came out wrong.

Not actually intended to spin, but I got a little Lazy Susan platform so it does now

This is the way.

I was considering finding a really nice looking one like this but was able to land mine for pretty cheap so I thought I’d give it a shot first to get a feel for the dimensions that work for my pipes.

I’m not meticulous about deep cleaning after every smoke, so I tend to stay away from leaving my pipes with the stem below the bowl.
A salt/everclear treatment of the stummel is so much easier than getting funk out of shanks and stems, especially on the screw tenon mid-century Americans that make up most of my daily smokers.

sorry, almost forgot. I believe it’s just all-thread running through hollow spindles as far as construction.
