    Kaywoodie blackening

    Hey all, I had posted a couple weeks ago a pic of my new Kaywoodie when I first joined the forums here. I noticed a couple of days ago the left side of the bowl has begun to darken. I am posting before and current pics. Is this something normal? Thanks Seth

    First Attempt

    You're more than welcome. No idea on the Dremel, I have a set of reamers I got for about $9, though I would think you'd want to be awfully careful. From what I've read thus far the majority say not to take it all the way down to the bare wood, to leave a thin layer of cake. I'm not really...

    First Attempt

    Gibson85, After reaming out the bowl and cleaning the stem, one method to further clean them is to plug the stem with pipe cleaners, fill the bowl with coarse (non iodized) salt, then saturate the salt with alcohol (Everclear in my case)and let sit for a day. I just started doing refurbs, but...

    Ive been hitting ebay for a week looking for one, haven't had any luck so far. Are there any online places that sell them straight out?

    @ Spartan: Thanks! I hadn't realized I caught that in the pic. The Parachute Riggers made that for me at work. Nothing screams class like a gift from a group of Sailors.

    Where can a retort be bought? I saw one in a video, looks like it would save both materials and time.

    Harrington Park

    Hey all, just got my 1st lot of estate pipes in this afternoon. One of them (my camera batt is dead, I'll post a pic tomorrow, sorry) is a Harrington Park. It has that on the left side, Algerian Briar Made in France on the right, a fleur-de-lis(sp) etched on the stem, and the number 427 or 127...

    This is my first batch, but I can see how it could creep up on a person. My ebay finger is itching madly.

    You can see the stem at roughly the 2 o'clock position in the background.

    I got my first lot of ebay pipes in the mail today, also my castleford reamer and my rouge. My wax should be here tomorrow. I started with the cheapest, crappiest looking of the lot, this Straus. I figure if I screw it up I'm not out much but a little time. I already soaked the stem and went...

    Nice job Mike! I hope I can get something half decent out of mine.

    I went in.......

    I ordered a castleford 5 piece reamer that should be here by the end of the week. Also a few stiched 6 in buffing pads, some rouge, and some wax. I'll probably sweet talk the wife into taking me to Lowe's or Home Depot this week to get me a little bench grinder and some sand paper. Hopefully...

    I went in.......

    So I just won my first lot of estate pipes on ebay. I just had surgery on my ankle so I'm off work for the next month or so, and I figured I'd try my hand at some refurb. From the description I got a Strauss, a Darby, a Royal Coachmen #291 and a Harrington Park#127. If it doesn't work out I'm...
