Tobacco Pipe Travel Box

[Morsoth]

I made something that might interest you!

Weeks ago, I tried the Maxpedition 'Fatty' organizer for bring my pipes and tools for traveling, and though that even if it's practical, I don't feel it's protecting the pipes that much. I'm a crafty guy so I decided to build something sturdy, in wood, that would secure the pipes properly, and that could hold all the items and tools that I use the most often. Surprisingly, it's not a lot bigger than the Maxpedition Fatty. My box, closed, is 5 ½" x 10 ¼ ", with a height of 4 ¼".

So, here it is, the Tobacco Pipe Travel Box:

And here are the final versions of the blueprints that I made in Photoshop prior to the built:

It's beautiful....but I just can't take smoking that seriously.

Is really cool and gorgeous work but i would never lug that anywhere.

I hear yeah! When I smoke, I'm thinking about stuff, and get lots of ideas for crafting projects! Both crafting and smoking helps me relax, so building practical stuff for fun is a nice way to spend my time doing something else than watching TV!

Thanks! It's very sturdy. If I drop it, that would resist pretty much anything. Also, it's made with a rustic/imperfect look. If it gets 'damaged' along the way, it'll only add more personality. Also, when I travel, it's to visit my family for 2-3 days. It's in my luggage most of the time.

When I bring my pipe at work, I use a simple roll with a pipe, a zippo, a tamper and a tiny tobacco tin. That's it.

That is seriously cool. I would definitely use it.

Great job- I like it.
special things deserve there own special place.

Nicely done but I have a variety of leather pouches that carry 2 to 9 pipes in 1/4 the space and probably 1/10 the weight.

I don't like it, too pipey oh wait got it backwards. Really like it love how pipey it is. sweat.

 

[kurtbob]

I think it’s pretty damn cool! Very “Victorian” looking. Now if you had a matching one with dueling pistols in it…..oh, hells yeah!

 

[olkofri]

Very “Victorian” looking.

And made for Victorian kind of travel: those huge chests.

It's a neat display piece, but too bulky to lug around.

 

[sandollars]

Very cool!!!

 

[kcghost]

This is a hell of a case. I would never carry it around.

 

[cigrmaster]

I like it. I bet you could drop it off a ten story building and not dent a pipe.

 

[Ctbill]

Love your steamer trunk! Well done!

 

[OzPiper]

Just the thing for a jungle trek.
Along with the 10 native luggage and elephant gun bearers and mule train. ?

Seriously though, a very nice piece of work.

 

[Casual]

This would be great on some types of trips. Now you need to find one worthy of it.

 

[romaso]

Nice work! Like the font on the lid, reminds me of Tolkien

I like that picture. That case would definitely fit the scene.

Good on you! I like compartments made for specific things in any setting.
