Fantastic video.This and other posts that are so helpful to the novice pipe smoker should be moved to some easily found link such as a "WIKI" link or something. It would be like a one stop shopping for valuable information. Perhaps there is already one on this site and have yet to discover it.....
I planned on doing a video like this also but I think I am just going to favorite yours! Great video Bob!
I am glad that everyone likes it and found it helpful.
You can go to my blog/column, With Pipe and Pen, to read my articles.
Also another thing to keep in mind is that every persons blog has a category section on the left hand side of the screen that you can look through past blog posts that are categorized. You must first access their blog to see their categories.
The home page of the site is Kevins blog. There you will find articles written by Kevin, Russ Ouellette, G.L. Pease, Carter Lyles, and any other featured writers.

New here to the site but not to pipe smoking. Have used the pipe reamer for several years now and it is good to see from a pro's use that I have been doing the right thing and not damaging my pipes. Thanks.
Nice job but you left out my favorite reamer for estate pipes, the T-handled Pip-net. It's also often sold under the Castleford logo. It consists of four different sized reamers that are cylindrical with rounded bottoms each of which has four cutting edges and a T-shaped handle that holds them. It does an excellent job of reaming the bottom of the bowl without resorting to a knife. The system has only two drawbacks. First, it isn't much help for tapered bowls. Second, you only have four choices for final chamber diameter, a fairly minor problem since one of the four should be acceptable for nearly any pipe.
Overall, it's my first choice for estate pipes. With just a little practice it gives a smooth even job every time. For general maintenance of my pipes I do use the Buttner and Senior, but for newly acquired estate pipes it's hard to beat the Pip-net.

Thanks for supplying the name of the kit and some info about it, kcvet67. In the article I did say that there are kits available and supplied a link to one.
