Drill Buffing Question HELP
I would think you would have to have a very light handed approach to make 2500 RPM work. I just bought a variable speed corded drill for this very purpose and it's been working very well for me. In RPM it ranges from 0-2700. At the high end the buffer pad throws a lot fibers and compound. It's...- tuold

Gutenberg.org and tobacco ebooks
I love this from the "Pipe and Pouch" collection: Let him who has a mistress to her eyebrow write a sonnet, Let the lover of a lily pen a languid ode upon it; In such sentimental subjects I'm a Philistine and cynic, And prefer the inspiration drawn from sources nicotinic.- tuold

I like those Mastersons. Comfortable to hold for a long smoke, nice wide bit for easy clenching and easy to maintain. -

Silver collectors?
I've been ordering a silver proof set from the US Mint for many years. I used to order the Silver American Eagles but they became too expensive as the price of silver rose. US Mint Silver Proof Set- tuold

The Piper at Work.
easterntraveler, I don't have it quite as bad as you, but working in a hospital, the mere mention of tobacco is met with scorn and condescending looks. It's like having a social disease. That's why I'm very much looking forward to retirement in the summer of '15.- tuold

New CD released -
Very interesting music there. I'm an amatuer composer. I'm thinking of doing a suite sometime inspired by some of my favorite blends of pipe tobacco. I've already done a suite based on various kinds of tea so this would not be a stretch.- tuold

What does it say on the shank beneath the GBD imprint? It says, "Virgin" I' not quite sure what that refers to...... My local shops all have TLC pipes. IE in need of a lot of it. The best one I saw seemed to have a 10+ year old pack of old tobacco laced with dust Trust me, these were pretty... -
The Pipe You've Owned Forever
A Tinder Box Verona was my first pipe. It's traveled thousands of miles with me over the past 37 years and endured many bowlfuls of substandard tobacco. It's still with me and still going strong! In 1977 while stationed at Andrews AFB: And now: -

Visited the Antique Store Today
I'm thoroughly addicted to antique stores now! This is so much more fun than staring at blurry photos on eBay and waiting a week to see what I bagged. Nothing like instant gratification. I've got some days off coming up so now's the time to start planning my route. Here's the last picture I'll... -

Here's another I just finished cleaning from that lot, a Kaywoodie Carburetor. The gentleman who's estate these pipes came from seems to have preferred billiards. -
Visited the Antique Store Today
This is the first time I've ventured away from my computer screen in search of estate pipes at an antique store and I was pleasantly surprised. It seems the lady who runs the local shop rents space in the store. When I told her what I was looking for she directed me to an out of the way corner... -

Please Help Identify Pipe Maker
Thank you. I couldn't seem to find that design in the index of dots and whatnot. I was happy to win it as the only bidder of $9.99 . Curiously, there are two air holes in the bowl. It doesn't look like a mistake, but I've never seen such a thing in any of my other pipes. Seems to smoke really... -
