    Watch City Rouxgaroux

    I haven’t had any watch city before. I actually ordered about $100 in various blends but it’s not here yet. Been a while. Then this came out and I just got 8 ounces and some Rattray’s Brown Clunee. Haven’t had either. I set 3 alarms to make sure I got in ASAP. How I get esoterica and others...

    Piping & Hiking 3-14-21

    I take one with me every time. Santa Barbara is loaded with hiking. With all the fires though, I usually don’t light up on the walk there and off the trail. (I walk from my house to the trails, it’s about 1 mile) I will throw a pipe into a hardshell sunglasses case, a pill holder that holds an...

    MINT Jarl Pipe With Box And Sock

    I just wanted to show some pics before I sell it. I took some low light ones real quick. I’ll take proper pics tomorrow before it goes onto my site or eBay. My first older pipe I purchased that still had the box and sock. Got it for $22 on eBay. This pipe is mint. No flaws, marks, even the...

    A Couple Heavy Hitters

    Lol I actually did taste it. It smelled so much like charred beef with lots of fat. Couldn’t smoke it but I did taste it. Then it went to my box that doesn’t get opened for years.

    Drill Press First? Question With A Twist To Typical Questions

    I’m so back and forth. I’ve spent a couple hours reading more, watching more. I’m reading same threads about lathes etc. I’m back at the point of just waiting to move. Looking at the drills with decent travel, they’re big... a band saw would help too.. I just don’t have the space here is what...

    Phrases, Words and Mispronunciations That Bother You

    I’ve always hated “I could care less.” I figured out that meant the opposite in 5th grade. I still hear it from celebs, politicians and also educated people. :) conversate is another one. No such word of course. So many but trying to limit because I’m sure most have been said.

    Drill Press First? Question With A Twist To Typical Questions

    thank you for your reply! What would be a good drill press size? 12” or 17” etc? I figure I can still use a drill press in future for a home I’ll buy too. I’ll def have to learn a lot about accuracy in measuring. I was very concerned about flush mounting. How to shape the tenon and mortise...

    Drill Press First? Question With A Twist To Typical Questions

    Hey guys, I hope this is the correct sub forum. First and off topic a bit, I’ve been trying to get an account at pipemakersforum for a few months. I get the email saying it is waiting to be activated I never get activated. I never get replies to my emails about this. Is it closed up? It...

    Smoking a Pipe at 36

    I’m 41. I bought my first pipe back at 28. I don’t give a f about other people. I spent a lot of my life caring about that. Older you get, less you care and that’s awesome. :)

    What Is The Best Material You Have Used For Pipes In A Vice?

    Thank you guys. Yeah part of it is I don’t have a bolted down Vice yet. No dedicated work bench. I used some silicone padding for one part and I have a dowel with some padding and tape on the end but it doesn’t want to sit in the Vice. Always rocks back and forth. Too bad the bottom isn’t...

    What Is The Best Material You Have Used For Pipes In A Vice?

    I didn’t see a pipe makers forum on the list but figured maybe some answers here. I’ve trued a few things but imagine neoprene would be good. Soft enough to not damage the pipe but firm enough to keep it in place... In this instance, it’s for sanding/reshaping. Msybe one of you will have a...

    Do You Buy New Pipes To *Not* Smoke Them?

    I bought a nice Blowfish with all intentions of smoking it. I did smoke it a couple times but it looks like it’ll so easily char the rim and it is difficult to find a stand to rest it so I just keep passing on it. That and I bought so many pipes this year there are some I haven’t smoked yet...
