    Got the Carving Chisels Out - My 3rd Pipe

    Cheers! It’s a good’un when I’m out walking. Nice and light.

    Got the Carving Chisels Out - My 3rd Pipe

    Thank you! Smokes great too I’m pleased to report... though it’s a slow burner with those thinner walls

    Got the Carving Chisels Out - My 3rd Pipe

    Thanks! I’d definitely recommend giving it a go. I wasn’t really aiming for symmetry but that’s how it turned out. Some and some to answer your question though - I found roughing out the shape I didn’t have to worry too much about keeping them overly clean. Once the rough shape was out I took...

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    The gap might be a little large for a toothpick, but I think so too. Lots of very helpful suggestions. Thank you!

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    I’ve tried balsa but would prefer to stick to charcoal - thank you though!

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    Would definitely work but I’m a bit lazy to do it every time. ? hopefully I can engineer a perm fix to the pipe. I’ve bought some acrylic tubing to try make a shim to slide into the stem. I’ll drill a hole in the centre to allow for airflow and cut it to a length that when in the pipe, there’s...

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    That’s a very good idea. I’ll be sure to give that one a go when I next smoke it!

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    It was an eBay auction and bought from Germany so no returns I’m afraid. Spent £30 so it’s not a deal breaker. I figured it’s be significantly more new and only lightly smoked. ?

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    Good plan. That will definitely work in the interim. Thank you.

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    Thank you! I did think of that too last night and give it a go. Shone a torch down the stem and the 9mm chamber is drilled flat. I would’ve thought they’d chamfer it so you could do that but apparently not.. :/

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    Thank you for them! I’ll definitely see if I can get a denicotea and give it a whirl. The best Perm fix I can think of without changing filter brands is inserting a drilled piece of black acrylic rod into the stem. I did think of the epoxy but thought it may run a bit. If I can get a black rod...

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    As a slowly quitting cigarette smoker a tight draw is actually something I quite like, but I can see why it might bug others. I did consider something on the filter, but I’m perhaps a bit lazy to wrap a filter every time. Hopefully there’s some way I can modify the stem to hold it.. Currently...

    Thanks - I do love the shape and feel of it; just wish it didn’t rattle!

    Filter ‘Rattle’ Repair? Rattray’s ‘The Bruce’

    Hello all, I was lucky enough to win a Rattray’s The Bruce Pipe online (like the one below) and it arrived today. Very happy with it and love the shape and colour. Minor problem though: I usually smoke with a 9mm charcoal filter and don’t intend to change from that, but on fitting into the stem...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    About to try half a bowl of Gawith and Hogarth 2019 Christmas special to break in a pipe I made a few weeks back (and I’ve been overly fastidious in waxing and letting dry properly). Only picture I have is one from when I’d just finished making it. ... now let’s pray it smokes well ?
