H Wiebe Blowing Out Their Pipes!

He's turning the design over to open source so others can make bowls and bases. If you were ever interested, now is the time. H Wiebe Pipes - https://hwiebe.com/

I picked one up. Really hoping to see some cool new bowls. Fingers crossed for more Morgan Bones bowls and I would absolutely love to see a meerschaum radiator bowl.

Bowls are sold out.

It will be interesting to see if any other businesses sprout up using the blueprints and patents he acquired, since he is making them all public domain. Very cool of him but i wonder if he tried to sell the IP off or anything first.

I think most of it sold out 10 minutes after he posted the video lol

The only thing that kept other outfits from copying his stuff was proprietary screw pitch and tpi count.

In the latter 19th and early(ish) 20th century it what firearms manufacurers did.

All that will be required for anyone who wants to make interchangeable Wiebe components is to front the cost of a few custom taps and dies.
