    There Will Be Blood

    If anyone hasn't seen this movie yet, it's a masterpiece. And hell of a great movie poster too. I watched it again tonight for about the 5th time. I think it's on Netflix or Hulu.

    Grabow Commodore Sandblast Rim Repair

    Ok I hope this works out. I'm trying out Al's recommended process for posting pictures. There were two good chunks missing from the outer edge of the rim. I filled them with briar shavings, formed and sanded into shape, then blended the fills with a faux blast using a dental bur. Fresh stain...

    Fox News Contributor Has Pipe Rack On Desk

    Disclaimer: not trying to provoke any political discussions. Fox News contributor Steven Crowder has his own radio/video broadcast prominently featuring a pipe rack on his desk in each show. These aren't just props, he smokes. I thought this was a big thumbs up for us. Pretty cool. Although...

    (YouTube & Netflix)Short Animation about a Man Searching for his Lost Pipe

    I ran across this short animated film on Netflix titled The House Of Small Cubes. The description reads: His favorite pipe is missing in his flooded house. Searching for it means more than going for a swim. It's only 10 minutes long and worth checking out. After all how often does something...

    Bulldog Bead Line and Rim Repair

    I ran across this LHS Sterncrest 14K with the original box. I'm a sucker for squat bulldogs, silver/gold bands, and LHS pipes so this was the perfect storm. The bead line had some chunks missing and the rim was charred and scared. The stem face has some wear and will be replace eventually. Maybe...

    2 Restorations: Before/After (pics) 9/14/16

    I finally found some time to fix up a couple oldies. This old Sterncrest had seen better days but this make always cleans up nicely. Full bent/silver band/push stem with a flock of birds. The pipe was so gunked up, the stem wouldn't even sit flush in the shank. After seven decades give or take...

    Mailbox Surprise (hint: They're Pipes) PICS

    I received a surprise in the mailbox earlier this week. I always keep track of packages in route and wasn't expecting anything. Checked the return address and knew exactly who it was.

    Post FDA reg House Blends Talk with B&M Owner

    I had a long discussion with the owner of my local B&M today. He said they can still sell bulk loose tobacco but they will no longer be able to blend their own in house. For the regular customers, he might sell several different bags that afterwards you blend yourself. Dark days but there is...

    Here is an ongoing project I just finished up. It's been a while since I've been able to work on any of my own pipes. These LHS Sterncrest push stems are great old burners.
