Pipe Makers: Is it hard make a smooth rim on sandblast?
There's nothing hard about it. When you're blasting near the rim you simply blast with the chamber & rim facing away from the blasting gun.- mkelaw

Jost's in Saint Louis (anyone have any actual memories of this place?)
I was in St. Louis on business in 1965 or '66 and stumbled on Jost's. I'd been smoking a pipe for a couple of years and had maybe two pipes at the time. Harvey Raspberry is one of the most unforgettable people I've ever met. I bought two small, Shell-like blasts. They were made by Comoy's...- mkelaw

Dunhill Research
The Loring book referred to above is, at least in my opinion, the number one reference on Dunhill. It really gets into the details and answers a lot of questions that won't be addressed by the online references mentioned above. That said, if you have a pipe that's fifty years or less old, the... -
Orphan Pipe
I sold a pipe to a fellow at the Chicago Show. It hadn't been cleaned internally and I told him that I'd be happy to take it with me, clean it and then send it to him. Either we both forgot to exchange contact information or I misplaced his. I don't know where to send it and he hasn't...- mkelaw

Bench Grinder as a Buffer
This is sort of like the Abbott & Costello "Who's on First?" routine. Torque nailed it and is correct. The outer surface of a larger wheel travels a longer distance than any place on the wheel closer to the shaft. If it travels a longer distance in the same number of revolutions, it's going...- mkelaw

Imco Pipe Lighter
After two expensive pipe lighters started leaking gas dangerously within a couple of days of each other, I rummaged around in my "junk drawer" and found an Imco I'd purchased 20 years ago and used until the plastic parts began to fall apart. On the off chance that they were still made, I went...- mkelaw
