    Back at It!

    I prefer the mystique of a well dressed Pug, or a pipe smoking rabbit...? ...and I fine tuned it yet again. I really like the rabbit story & theme! Great American history. All for fun and everything - I’m not really wrapped up in my avatar...but I think distinct and different is generally helpful.

    What Do You Re-Purpose

    And although not in the true spirit of this thread, I repurposed a new kitchen hutch into my new pipe & tobacco haven - in my “cellar”! (Basement...?)

    What Do You Re-Purpose

    Don’t need to, but find the whole “repurpose” game fun and a good puzzle. 100g McB tins & Champagne corks make a convenient ashtray..., and an old belt with a nut & bolt make a decent pipe stand. I also use empty Snus cans for tobacco travel cases. And old pallets, a rainy weekend, a few...

    Go To Pipe Tamper

    To be clear - I got my idea from this forum to “repurpose” my brass for tampers...and I think it’s awesome (and pretty cool, with a good story to boot). I’m just not handy enough to make great versions. But happy to jam some dowel or appropriately sized sticks into a 9mm case...and slap some...

    Weber Shellbrooke Cleanup

    Whoa! I love the old school, patient, simple approach here. No fancy magic potions, no “unobtanium” lotions. Well done, and awesome knowledge! Thanks for the effort to post these vids, and passing along the techniques. Further: I am always quite intrigued by the seeming conundrum and...

    1-Q Revisited

    I’ve previously described what 1Q is to me: Wonder Bread. Tastes fine, if bland... Lasts forever due to the preservatives... Is not offensive... ...and sometimes, ya just NEED Wonder Bread for a good ‘ole PB&J. I like it - very occasionally.

    Gauging the Popularity of Pipes...

    Depending on the city & state, that same statistic likely applies today - except it’s a glass bowl with weed...ya know, ”legal now and all...”

    Go To Pipe Tamper

    I made a few dowel & 9mm shell case tampers recently. Brass/spent case was ”free”, and the 36” dowel cost me $0.65. Had fun with stain, paint, bedliner (pictured!), and just burning wood for effect. At 4” each, I got 9 tampers! Gave all but one away already. Golf tee and nails live in my...

    Can't We All Just Get Along?

    I have found this forum among (if not THE) most congenial of all I have visited or joined. If there has been a ruckus, I missed it (by either by not visiting the specific thread, or not perceiving the problem/slight/personal attack. I like the attention given to keeping this place congenial...
