    Smoking While Driving: Doohickeys And Thingamajigs

    While reading Anthony's post I remembered a pipe seller who had pipe stands made from strips of leather. I adapted the idea, and using an old belt which had broken, came up with a solution that is both simple and effective. The first picture is my dashboard with some screws in some of the holes...

    Other Worlds?

    Reminds me of a little place called the "Warble and Wander Inn" and the patrons seem familiar. :mrgreen: I really miss the old gaming days and haven't seen my Elf Ranger, Dwarf Cleric, Human Wizard, or the rest of the gang, in years. Congrats on your portal and may it bring you joy for many...

    What Music Are You Listening To? (October 2017)

    @Brian64 - Rebecca from 1940 with Lawrence Olivier is an amazing film. The character OWNS everybody in the film yet is never physically present. A masterpiece of cinema. :clap: Really enjoying Steve Walsh's later stuff. Strikes a nice ambient vibe and texture. Black Sabbath - Voodoo...

    Smoking While Driving: Doohickeys And Thingamajigs

    Thanks Anthony! That is the kind of thing I am looking for. Now I realize that I have too many different sized bowls for one thing to fit them all. :evil: Sides need to be taller, but, that is a good design and I may make use of it. :worship:

    Smoking While Driving: Doohickeys And Thingamajigs

    My ashtray is way too small to accommodate any of my pipes while driving. As a result, I put the pipes in my lap and then forget they are there when I get out of the car. Most of my pipes have huge pits in them now from landing on the pavement. This is not the life I wanted for them. My car is a...

    Piping Mishaps: Tales of Destruction

    I'm starting this thread so I can feel better about myself at your expense. I cannot be the only one who has broken a pipe through my own clumsiness, miscalculation or neglect. My first pipe was a Mayfair stamped over Custombilt bulldog. The exact shape is a Hendon. I found it in a house I was...

    Another Cob

    Nice little cob! I also like the brass terrier holding it up. :)

    Kiseru Pipes are for Tobacco - Discuss

    According to TobaccoReviews.com, Koiki is merely a high quality Virginia in an extremely fine cut. As fine as human hair. It is much like D&R's Three Sails then, however, Three Sails is much coarser than human hair, but still very fine by our standards. This Japanese tobacco is very strong, so I...

    Kiseru Pipes are for Tobacco - Discuss

    @Zack24 - Someone put a Kiseru in the box for the American boxpass. Someone also smoked it with the D&R Three Sails I supplied and had great success. I think the only requirement is the very, very fine shag cut. If I recall correctly, they said it was nearly indistinguishable from the Koiki...

    Congratulations on your new job. Sounds like the ladies are lucky to have you. Enjoy those smokes, good sir! :clap:

    Rustication and Blasting

    I love this quote by MSO. Most artforms I can think of require you know the rules before circumventing them. I think carving falls under this banner. I feel texturing should be done with a light touch, because you can go too far, then it is too late. However, I do love me some craggy pipes...
