Clip Jar Storage???
My parents grew up during the depression....you wouldn't dare throw out an empty jelly or pickle or whatever glass jar it was. I got a shed full of Mason, Ball and who knows what else...I saw one with the old white Peter Pan lid filled with screws in the shed the other day. You cannot pressure...- BlueMaxx

Clip Jar Storage???
I use my vegetable canning set funnel and use widemouth 16oz jars. I do so because I purchase a lot of bulk and usually get 4oz at a time and that fits, barely, into that jar. You can get them on sale under 5 bucks for four...- BlueMaxx

Looking for a Clencher
I would be a sceeert to smoke such a piece! In my brief time in the hobby of pipes I have found there are the Group known only as The Order of Holy briar and frown upon a metallic element to their pipes....even a stinger is seen as defilement. Then there are those who grudgingly accept that... -

C&D Tuggle Hall Mini-Review
Huh...from as many as they have that sounds about right. And I do not mean that as a gig towards their product. It is just vastly overwhelming. I personally prefer independent smaller blenders and most of what I smoke is from those stores, and arrives bulk style. I have just a smattering of...- BlueMaxx

Advice Needed: Setting Up a Buffing Station
I have toyed with the idea too, especially once I work through a back log of clocks awaiting my attention... I will probably just bite the bullet and get the Foredom b-1 buffer. It will be able to do double duty with clock procedures using the flexible shaft attachment. The time and frustration...- BlueMaxx
