    Tinnitus Relief

    Working in an automotive repair shop for close to 40yrs now, and after about 20yrs I started getting a mix of crickets and TV off the air crackly white noise when I'm in what should be a quiet space. I sleep with a fan and the TV on.

    On this particular one, the bamboo is significantly large enough to do a delrin tenon that has grooves cut in 2 directions and epoxied in. It would take a quite a bit of torque to break it loose and I'd reckon it'd snap the briar or bamboo first.

    Replacement Silver Band on Meerschaum

    Thanks for the nod my way @AroEnglish, but I'll have to defer to the others listed. My silver work is geared more towards pipes I'm making, not repair work.
