    Shortwave Radio and QSL Cards

    I brought a Tecsun PL-600 for myself last Christmas, I also put up a wire antenna, but I haven't done much listening. I didn't know broadcasters would do this. Maybe this winter I'll have to do more listening and start with the QSL cards. I have a fairly good room air filter, so I can smoke...

    My Experience with Lbepen Deoxidizer [with pics]

    Good to see both views of this product. I've not tried it (though I may) because it seems expensive to me, especially if it often only works about as well as Oxi-clean. My limited experience has shown me that if I really want the stem to look nice (so I'm comfortable selling it), I'll usually...

    On Smoking Slowly and the Benefits...

    Well said. I enjoy the ritual of pipe smoking: choosing my pipe and tobacco, getting settled in my spot, lighting, tamping, relighting, tamping, all the while pondering, meditating a bit, relighting, and on it goes. Every aspect of this is important to me, making pipe smoking really enjoyable.

    LHS Cavalier: Questions for the Wise

    Horn seems to vary quite a bit in color. I have a Vauen with what I think is a horn stem, that is quite light, cream-colored.

    LHS Cavalier: Questions for the Wise

    Thanks for this info. It's very helpful. More helpful info! I've been curious about this because I bought some pipes recently that have horn stems and I wondered if that could help me date them.

    Hello from Azle Texas

    Welcome from Kansas City. I agree, it is a very enjoyable hobby. I've gotten into refurbishing, and that has been fascinating too.

    The American Tourist - Clumsy Travel Mistakes

    I lived in Bolivia for seven years, and the opportunity for cultural misunderstanding never ended. Because of bad roads, the driving was slow with lots of push and shove in the intersections etc with ample horn blowing. One thing I learned, however, was that there was a smile just below the...

    3D Printer Sleeve for Loose Tenon Fix

    Yes, that is a temptation for some of us--like my son . He and one of my grandsons use 3d printers for a lot of small projects, some of them money-making--its a hobby. He said the sleeves cost pennies but the first time they take about 15 minutes to set up. Also - time for true confession -...

    3D Printer Sleeve for Loose Tenon Fix

    I started just wanting to do something cool with a 3d printer and pipe repair with my son. But , actually its pretty easy and very cheap.

    3D Printer Sleeve for Loose Tenon Fix

    I've repaired two pipes with loose tenons/stems (that is, the tenon fit loosely in the mortise) by using a sleeve made in a 3d printer. It seems to me that this process could be useful, although it needs fine tuning. Here's the small pipe - horn stem with metal tenon - loose. I enlarged the...

    Great refurbish job! It's a beautiful pipe.

    Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!

    The picture is not clear, but the shank is threaded and the stem fits well. Makes sense that stem would be acrylic and not meerschaum.

    Your Favorite Pipes?

    Thanks for the tip; good to know. I have another, larger CB from the same period that I also suspect of having a replacement stem. On a side note, looking again at the Pideadia article I noticed for the first time a note about geometric shapes on the shanks, so I examined the shanks of my CBs...
