    Meerschaum Tenon Repair

    This is a difficult task. I’m trying to repair this shank. It is threaded and the threads are destroyed. The bone tenon doesn’t want to come out of the stem. Tempted to try ultra sonic bath but afraid to try, as I don’t want to run the stem. I have tried cigar ash pipe mud but I must of not let...

    Looking For A Movie

    Quite some time ago I saw a movie that I cannot recall the name of or any of the actors in it. From what I can recall. It starts in a video store or game store. There is some sort of pandemic/apocalypse going on that has some sort of lightning that strikes killing whoever it hits. In order to...

    More Pipes For The Repair Table

    While out antique store hunting I came across a spot that was almost half pawn shop, half antique store. Unlike pawn shops I’ve seen back home this place was nice. First one is a Vauen Bruyere Garantie. I can’t find anything on the Garantie line. It is a pretty large pipe. Garantie is German...

    Clay Pipe Restoration

    So I visited a Antique store the other day and picked up these clay pipes. When I get home I plan on restoring some of them to put into my rotation. I may make all of them into complete pipes.

    Pipe Maker Question Regarding Lathes

    Question for the other pipe makers out there. I’ve been planning on having a shed built to move all my wood working stuff into including my Craftsman wood lathe and Grizzly metal lathe. Do you have a lathe on a wood floor or concrete. I’m not sure I’ll be able to have the concrete slab poured...

    Smoking Jacket

    Wanted a “Smoking Jacket” to wear. Wanted to do my own stuff on it, and there is a shop here that can do transfers. Gave them the files and it turned out great.

    Font

    Shot in the dark here. Back in 2013 I had a stamp made. I can not find the font on my computer. Not sure if it was a Microsoft office font or one I had just came across on the web. I was planning on doing something, but need the font name in order to do so.

    On a Trip To Rammstein

    Haven’t been doing much pipe stuff recently. Lots of surgery’s and didn’t have the energy to get out in the shop. Been doing a lot better recently and doing a trip to Rammstein for work and limit on travel while here. Is there a local tobacco shop that is worth checking out? I’d like to get a...

    Been Away for a While

    Greetings it’s been a while since my last post. Been away for awhile due to a couple of things. Surgery was one of those things. Pretty much healed completely and decided it was time to get outdoors. Got to go hiking yesterday and enjoy the mountain where I’m visiting. :-) Wore my pipe hat...

    School's Band Concert

    Figured I'd hop on here while my daughter and her class walk off the stage and the 8th grade prepares to play. Watching them grow up brings so much joy to me. Seeing her persue playing musical instruments is so great, knowing it is something she wants to do. Well the 8th graders are warming up...

    Pool Question

    I was in my backyard today and heard water running. I saw a whole lot of water running off the neighbors concrete deck under the fence into my yard. Not knowing if a line broke I went over to investigate. I looked over the fence and he was by his pool filter with water gushing out of a pipe that...

    Restoring Missing Dots

    Here a question I haven't been able to find an answer too. When restoring pipe stems and you have half a dot because it isn't a rod inserted into the stem, but instead it paint dots or something else that is just added to the top layer like stickers. If those are removed how would one go about...

    Surgery Sucks

    Had surgery on Monday 31Oct, and figured I'd be about 90-95 percent by Wednesday. Well it's now Friday and I'd say I'm about 50 percent. Still having trouble just putting socks on and going to the restroom. Thought I'd be back at work by Monday, however my discharge says no lifting, pushing...

    Pins

    I have a question some might find odd. :D Has anyone seen pins with tobacco related logos for sale anywhere? While at the NASPC I got the This Pipe Life, and a NASPC pin with the logo on it. I then ordered the other three pins from NASPC that they have. I have them on my pipe smoking hat, and...

    Traded With HMHaines

    Haines was interested in the pipe I restored and fixed up and made an offer for trade. I told him what I was interested in and he went above and beyond by sending some extra items. Well here is everything. Thanks Haines!

    Reject No More (Pic Heavy)

    Here is a link to the original post. I was not quite sure how I was going to approach all the fills in this pipe. I then decided to just go for it, hope you enjoy.
