    Featherweights...have them?

    Last pipe I made was a 5/8" bowl bore and weighed in at .70 oz. I like smaller pipes for a quick smoke when I just don't want a long smoke.

    1st Carve @ Pocket Pipe w/Apricot Wood

    Not bad..... but I hope that the airway is smaller than the opening on what you used for a stem. :)

    New Pipes for Profit & Then Some

    Yep unclearthur........ I priced the one I want and it's $125. But the company I checked with makes them for many pipe makers and they have good service, so worth it. I always think about needing a stamp as someone may one day want to know "Who Made That Pipe!"

    For Mr and Mrs Bob.

    Very cool........ I've made a handful from walnut and they turned out great. Mine are from a slab of walnut burl that my dad found at an old sawmill..... laid under the table for over 40 years.

    New Pipes for Profit & Then Some

    Well, I have no problem with making a buck, which in these days and times is difficult. When you do something like your talking about, if that's what they are doing, it can be tough. Pipes on ebay take jumps and dives regularly, so a person stands to take a loss on any pipe, no matter what...

    Pipe Modifications that Rock! Ways You Enhanced Your Pipe's Smoking Experience

    The stem works very well with that pipe and if you like it, a double good deal in my book. Biggest mods I've done to pipes is to take pipes I've picked up that smoked terribly and make them great smokers. In some cases it is opening up the airways, funneling the stems, both the tenon and the...

    The New Ride!

    Yep, I wear my helmet and have found as you say. Gravel roads are the worst and I have 2 miles of it either way to get to the pavement. Those wide little tires are not real good on gravel but stick like glue on pavement. I'm enjoying the ride and after checking I found that I'm actually getting...

    The New Ride!

    I'm not in the mountains, but have 3 spring fed rivers within an hour or so of the house. Two are stocked with trout regularly. So this thing will be great once I get the mount on it for holding my flyrod. Under seat storage will hold a complete change of clothes, including shoes and my two pipe...

    The New Ride!

    Bob, craigslist is the answer.... got this one in NC for $800. It's a 2006 model with about 2000 miles

    The New Ride!

    I've been working on this thing for a while now and finally got it dependable, of sorts. It's a Chiinese made 250 water cooled scooter. Runs good and will cruise dandy at 65mph and it is pretty comfortable to ride. Fuel mileage is lots better than the truck and it handles great on the curvy...

    Filter stuck in a corn cob

    First thing I do when I get a cob is remove the filter before the first smoke. I would think soaking the filter would make it even harder to remove, as it will probably swell even more. What I would try is inserting a sheetrock screw into the filter and then pull it out. And of course, then...

    Meerschaums - Post your Pipe - I can't get rid of the Darn Things!!!

    Unclearthur, That pipe came to me in that condition from ebay for $35 shipped. Funny how we set pipes aside and forget them. This post made me look for my meers. (Most pipe stuff still packed from a year ago) I dug the antique one out and am puffing it right now....... Keep them coming guys, I...

    Meerschaums - Post your Pipe - I can't get rid of the Darn Things!!!

    Charles, I've had a love/hate relationship with meers since taking up the pipe 6-7 years ago. I've had quite a few and while I love the look of the intricately carved ones, I too as others said, enjoy my standard shaped pipes. I also have found that most meers I've had just don't have an open...

    A tale of two Bulldogs

    Wow, I love the pick idea........ Too bad a good looking bulldog had to die for one of them. Ahhhhh well. "Sh*t" happens.

    Cigars Anyone?

    I smoke cigars regularly, when I have them. I get mine from JR's and go for their alternative Montecristo "C". I also buy cigars when they have them on sale and always go for medium to strong. I've found very few cigars that I haven't liked. I even made myself a nice big humidor from a...

    How do you use Murphy's Oil Soap...

    I use it full strength to remove the buildup of tars on the rims of pipes and I also use it the same on the rest of the pipes. But I don't leave it on long as it will remove stain. As for using on pipe racks, I'd use it following directions on the bottle.

    Pipe Retort

    I have one I've been using for about 3 years now and I've done quite a few really nasty pipes using it. Works great every time.
