Pipe Tomahawk Construction
Pipe Tomahawk Construction
The next two photos are of the collar and the plug. The collar is very simple looking yet this simple collar can be one of the most time-consuming pieces of furniture on the tomahawk. On the right is the plug. I make several entirely different looking pipe plugs; but no matter what they resemble they all serve the same purpose, easy access to the pipe tube for cleaning. They are threaded so they are much less likely to become lost when the tomahawk is used in chopping. (NOTE, after smoking any material in these pipe tomahawks deposits can build up in smoke’s path including the threads of this plug and the threads of the e-nut. The threads of the pipe plug and those of the e-nut SHOULD be wiped clean after each use.
