So I Broke Yet Another Pipe Today...

[smokeybear]

Was putting the stem back in after cleaning and I noticed that there was a gap and I tried to wiggle it straight. Snapped the tenon into the shank. Balls that's two pipes I'm sending out for repair lol. FML. I'm way to ruff with these things.

 

[smokeybear]

Oh and it was my David Jones Poker pipe.

Good Lord Smokey! Do you also turn green and run around in ratty old, ripped up clothes? Lol!
BTW, a buddy of mine (Oldpops41 on the forum) has a Jones poker as well, it's a beautiful pipe! Try not no break any more, ok!

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

Sorry to hear it, Smokeybear. I hope you get them fixed soon so you can enjoy them again.

 

[smokeybear]

Haha Pete no but after I break the pipe that sounds exactly like what I do lol.
There's a joke here I just can't place it yet I'll come back to it.

 

[petes03]

I figured you probably turned a certain shade of green, and made a few primal noises afterwards! Lol!

 

[smokeybear]

I'm sending it out with my Nording (the first victim of my beastly hands) for repair with night owl pipe works.

I just recieved a David Jones on Saturday that I had commissioned. I love it so much I'd probably be found hanging in the bathroom if I did that...

 

[smokeybear]

Ya the David Jones i Have is one of my best smoking pipes, ill be sad to have to part with it while its getting fixed.

I snapped the stem on a David Jones Poker last year, dropped it on my concrete floor (isn't the sound of a pipe hitting a hard floor the worst sound ever?) I sent mine back to David, he made a new stem for $30-couple bucks. Good as new now.

I'd send it back to David Jones with a note of apology and a tin of Balkan Whateveryoulikebest.

Smokey! That really stinks man. So sorry to hear that you've two pipes down.

smokey, send it back to David Jones so it will retain correctness, it's worth a bit extra, best of luck and sorry for your troubles.

It's those bear paws you call hands that are causing you trouble Andrew!

 

[mso489]

Don't know your own strength. I'm the guy with the thrifty pipe collection, and I never break anything, knock

on wood. Maybe we should trade pipe collections. (I know, no chance.)

Working with steel my whole life these hands are too ruff for wood.
