    Did anyone ever has changed a normal pipe to a system pipe?

    I did it once. It was in the late 70's. I wanted to solve a gurgle in a caminetto oompaul that I had. I drilled the largest bore hole that I could straight down into the shank on the same line as the mortise. Did exacly what it was supposed to do. Just like samcoffeeman said, though, because...

    Got a Lathe Today

    I made a couple of sets of light pulls in the last while. The shape of acorns. With Osage Orange caps and Briar nuts. Drilled a hole through the stem in the cap. You unscrew the acorns, feed the string or chain through the cap, tie it off, and then screw the bottom back on. Made a real nice...

    Got a Lathe Today

    @Al What kind of lathes were they selling? Were there any Olivers? @Winton I didn't know that you were a real woodturner! What other kinds of things do you make? I find that the little stuff gets through the tines too easily. I use a snow shovel for clean up, but not even that if there is...

    Happy Thanksgiving Pipe (Cartoon)

    I don't know. I don't think that I would want to hear "turkey," and pipe in the same sentence. anthony

    Save Our Twinkies

    @kb7get You best get out and buy up what you can. Those twoikies might keep you in pipes and tobacco for decades. @mangers 16 years in the ground! I don't think that there are any other foods that an do that. I have some cans of food in my kitchen that I have opened, not much of a...

    How Do You Get Your Bowl Lit Well Without Scorching Your Tongue And Tobacco

    Poor Old Santa

    One of the things that worries me is a hundred years from now, people will look back at our sanitized literature and think, "Man, what boring people." anthony

    Is your calabash bowl loose?

    I replaced the cork in several calabash. I looked at the gasket material at an auto place, and it appeared to have some black stuff used as a glue. I did not inquire, but all I could think of was how it looked like rubber. I wondered what it would smell like when it got hot. I went to an...

    Lucite stem bending ... the easy way

    Yeah, Zanthal, the sizzling stuff is scary. There are lots of alternatives. Even if you don't have a heat gun, you could probably get a used hair dryer at a local second-hand place for under five bucks that would do the job. Stick a wick in your alcohol fire would give you a little more...

    Coolest place you've ever smoked your pipe?

    Two dog beach in Palau. Called "Two Dog Beach," because it was a beach and two dogs used to live there.

    Quirky Family Sayings; Edit: Caution Salty Language

    Some people can avoid problems by thinking about them. Some people can avoid problems by watching others make mistakes. Some people can only learn by peeing on the electric fence. anthony

    Neil Armstrong RIP

    July between 7th and 8th grade. Sitting on the floor in the basement watching the new color television. I know no more sustained excitement occurred in my life before the landings, and perhaps not much more since. I cut out every article that even hinted at the landings out of the Denver Post...

    Newbie question - Building Cake

    I think that I have heard of this in history. The Frensh peasants were all up in arms because thier pipes were no good, and they kept burning out. They wanted the government to do something about it. Somebody brought the complaints to Marie Antoinette, and she said, "Let them build cake."...

    Richmond pipe and cigar show

    I went to that show for the first time last year. It was pretty good: it is a regional show. You know there is Chicago, and then there is everywhere else. I will be there from Friday evening until the end of the show. I sold a pregnant guppy there last year, and I am kind of eager to see if it...
