Different Kind of Storage Question
For pipes and tobacco storage I bought a couple of cheap IKEA metal drawer cabinets that i wall mounted. The drawers are probably to small for lager mason jars but works fine with tins and smaller jars. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/helmer-drawer-unit-on-casters-black-20341970/- Gecko

Dry Out Those Aromatics
I find it is a balancing act, to moist and it may gurgle, be hard to keep lit and a bit sour, to dry and it loses flavour and burns to quickly. Overnight in a pipe often gives good results for me but overnight spread out on a piece of paper and it's to dry. This of course varies with relative...- Gecko

Re-Purposed For Pipe Stuff
That is looking very cool! Forging, impressive! I've been looking at Essential Craftsmans forging videos on YouTube one day when I have the time and space required I want to try my hands at it.- Gecko

Tractors Anyone
My father would second your opinion on Soviet tractors. He had a small farm with two tractors on it back in the 70s. One was a small blue Ford that he liked and the other was a big red Ursus from the wrong side of the iron curtain. He says it had mislabeled gauges from the factory and was scary...- Gecko

The 'Stiff Pipe' - Publicity Stunt? Design School Project?
Got curious and did a quick check. According to the Swedish companies registration office the company is (suprisingly) still around but have changed name to "Happy Ears", they claim to be making medical equipment (ear plugs) and seem to be god at losing money. The pipe seems lika a humbug... -
Re-Purposed For Pipe Stuff
Really like the cigarbox pipe stand above, nicely done! Took some pieces of scrap wood I had left over and repurposed them into a simple and ugly... I mean rustic... cabinet for pipe stuff. Also the ashtrays are metal restaurant cigarette ashtrays that I got from a bartender friend. I cut a...- Gecko

Do You Like Your Peterson System Pipe?
In my experience army mount connections are stronger than regular push tenon connections. I mount it with a firm grip and a light push and twist. Unless your pipe is damaged somehow or something else is amiss there should be virtually no risk of the stummel falling off. -

Storing Pipe Tobacco
Bummer, I shall have to keep a close eye on them then. Seems to work so far, but they are dependent on condition and placement of the rubber gasket.- Gecko

Storing Pipe Tobacco
+1 for mason jars or equivalent. I use the IKEA korken series of glass jars with snap lids. Cheap, readily available, and meant for canning so they work great. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass-40378571/- Gecko

Touchy Subject
I don't know if you ask in jest and I don't judge but the answer to your question is yes that is a lot. You drink more in one day than what the British NHS advice as maximum amount per week. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/alcohol-support/calculating-alcohol-units/- Gecko

Touchy Subject
I felt the same as you a couple of years ago. I like to paraphrase Kris Kristofferson and say that the going up was no longer worth the coming down. Combined with constantly being on call for work. Drinking started to feel like a burden instead of a relief. So I decided to take a break from...- Gecko
