    Nice Surprise Under a Painted Grabow

    Typically that has been my experience. This one apparently got by quality control.

    Well, the pics showed up. I take back my request to have the thread removed. Better late than never.

    Just tried again... same thing. I give up. Will a moderator please remove this post for me? Thank you.

    Nice Surprise Under a Painted Grabow

    I know. Has anyone else been having this problem? I have been trying to post this for three days. The pics show up in the post until I hit Send Post then they are gone. Or the entire post disappears. Even when I go back and edit they are there.

    Nice Surprise Under a Painted Grabow

    Hi Folks, I recently started work on a red Dr. Grabow Viscount. It appeared to be pretty rough and my intention was to see how it would respond to a good cleanup first, then refinish it to look like new again. Sometimes I strip these pipes down to bare briar, mainly out of curiosity to see what...

    What a beautiful pipe. Lucky you. What did you use on the bowl to make it look so good?

    How I Restore and Refinish Grabow Color Pipes

    Dang. I'm glad my $5 pipe could serve as inspiration for your priceless pipe. Go for it.

    How I Restore and Refinish Grabow Color Pipes

    Thank you, guys. I am just so happy to be able to come into a well established community like this one, with people who have far greater expertise in the pipe smoking hobby than I have, and have something to contribute. It's great. Hopefully my interest in these pipes will encourage others to...

    Trouble with Flake Tobaccos

    Wow. Fast replies. What is cube cutting? The flakes I am trying are Newminster Superior Navy Flake, Newminster Superior Round Slices, and Erinmore flake. I live in low humidity too. 20% is high. tsschiaraldi: what you described is just what I am doing. Although I am obviously doing something...

    Trouble with Flake Tobaccos

    Guys, what the heck do you have to do to keep flake tobaccos lit? I am just getting into flakes. I have three (one that I bought and two were gifts from a member on the forum) and I love the flavors, But I have to rub them out or shred them to get them to stay lit for more than 10 seconds. I...

    How I Restore and Refinish Grabow Color Pipes

    The easy part is over with now. The hard part is waiting a week or so until the finish is fully cured before enjoying a bowl or two full of rich and delicious tobacco.

    How I Restore and Refinish Grabow Color Pipes

    Here is what works well for me with refinishing these pipes: After getting the surface prepped as described above I wipe it down with a damp cloth then blow it off with compressed air. Then I wrap a piece of blue painter's tape around a couple fingers with the tacky side out and very gently rub...

    How I Restore and Refinish Grabow Color Pipes

    Thank you for the advice, Dave. The inside of the bowl looks good on this one but I did sand off any incidental JB Weld that got in the bowl. With my interest in these pipes being what it is I asked a gentleman on another forum who ran the Dr. Grabow factory during this era him what kind of...

    Reconstruction of a Bit Through Busted up Stem

    Thank you, guys. This is a classy forum (I like when a moderator comes on and corrects grammatical errors in a title like he did on this one) so I really appreciate your compliments. I did photo document the repair if someone comes along that wants to see how to repair one of their own. I'm not...

    How I Restore and Refinish Grabow Color Pipes

    I gotta tell ya... this is the part of the job I don't like folks. But I am super picky about having a squeaky clean pipe - I don't like the idea of smoking someone else's gunk. So I keep doing this until pipe cleaners and q-tips come out white. But once it is clean, the fun begins. The nice...

    The Effects of a Cold

    I guess I am lucky. WhenI have a cold I do not feel like smoking at all. The desire is totally gone.

    How I Restore and Refinish Grabow Color Pipes

    Hi Dave, thanks for commenting and watching. It'll be a satisfying one when it's done, for sure. As far as the Christmas collection is concerned, I bought the ad. That's something, right? I'm going to frame it and put it on the wall by my pipe stand for inspiration. I have a few pipes already...
