    What I Am Up To.

    I have decided to spend my time with my grandkids and my grandson in particular. We are learning outdoor skills. That is why I am chasing tobacco tins, to make 'kits' for fire building and such. Watch this video if you need to relax. This fellow lives in Denmark. He smokes Orlik Golden Sliced...

    Thank You All

    Especially our host, for this enjoyable resource known as a forum. I learn from it daily, laugh at it more often than not and just generally enjoy the 'blend'. Sometimes the blend seems to have a bit more Perique than necessary, but then at other times it is just right. The threads about...

    "Bronze" Pipe Holder

    I wanted a brass or bronze pipe holder but was too cheap to pay for a 'real' one. So, I made one. While unpacking our craft supplies, I found a tub of air dry clay. This is pretty neat stuff, and can be molded into nearly any shape. So, a pipe holder appeared. I painted it with some gold paint...

    Four Dollar Pipe

    Well, a bit less than 4 bucks. I bought a porcelain bowl tyrolean pipe off ebay and it came with a figural briar pipe and a small Yello Bowl. This is the figural pipe, I thought the guy threw it in to get rid of it. I got all three pipes for 11 bucks shipped! The pipe had been smoked a lot...

    A Meerschaum Tenon Repair.

    Yet another... This one has a threaded tenon, with the threads stripped in the shank. After getting the thing apart, I discovered that the little black ring around the middle of the tenon was removable, sort of a spacer. Without that spacer, the tenon would screw into the shank just far enough...

    Mansion House Stem Repair

    I swear I already had a thread on this pipe, but I can't find it. I got this Mansion House (Comoy second) in a lot off of ebay. The pipe is in good shape except for the end of the stem. I want to restore it, so I started today. The pipe: And the poor unfortunate stem: I intend to repair it...

    OH YUK! (Or, Beware the OLD Meerschaum Stem)

    I had finished the stummel on a nice old meerschaum that scrooge sent me and needed to finish the stem work. The stem was overclocked and I decided it was time to investigate. I unscrewed the stem from the shank and looked at the joint between the threaded tenon and the stem. I wondered if it...

    How To Access Older Topics?

    For example, this area says it has 17,000 plus posts. I only see a week's worth when I click on it. Where are the rest of them and how do we get to them?

    How To Change Avatar?

    I have uploaded a new one, and it won't appear. I am not sure how to make it work.

    Flakes?

    No, not the Walmart customers... I read about flakes and 'why' they are smoked and 'how' they are smoked and how they are 'intended' to be smoked. But, I have a question. Didn't flakes come about because tobacco needed to be pressed into blocks for shipping purposes, in order to save space...

    Found a Barling!

    I have stumbled onto a Barling pipe! It is actually a BB&S Cherrywood 6989, a transition pipe I believe. (It came as an unidentified member of a group of 5 estate pipes I got for 11 bucks shipped off ebay) Nomenclature on the bottom of the pipe: Gladiator London England BB&S 6989 I have...

    Medical Problems...

    To those who I owe a package/shipment, please be patient. My lady and I are in a hotel in Salt Lake City waiting for medical tests for her. Hopefully all will be well, but for now, we are stuck away from home. I will get things sent out when I can.

    Lee Van Cleef Pipe

    After a forum member asked about 'who's pipe would you like to have', I answered "one like Lee Van Clleef smoked" in the spaghetti westerns. Research shows that we probably won't know exactly what pipe it was. I found guesses and speculation only. I am betting on one of two options: 1. A WDC...

    Making Some Tampers, Take Two.

    The other thread had some issues that made it impossible for me to see the posts properly. Let's try this again. I am slowly realizing that my past hobbies can be incorporated into the current one... pipes. Some years ago I took up wood carving. Another of my forays into new territory. I am no...

    The Power Of Positive

    Positive is what hobbies are. Pipes are a hobby to many of us. Smoking is a positive experience. Let's discuss and revel in our hobby. From what I read here, the majority of members are here for one reason... to share their joy in the hobby. After reading the 'cup o joes' thread again and...

    OK, Let's Make Some Tampers.

    I mentioned the Chigaco Screw based tampers a while back. I have finally collected all the stuff to make them. I started a couple today. This is the Chicago Screw I start with. I cut off the rounded end about a half inch long and the other end (with the screw) about a half inch long too. I...

    Has Anyone Heard from Tim Pollock?

    He has not been online here for about a month. I would like to talk with him on pipe making. Hope he is OK. If anyone has email address, please PM me or let him know I would like to discuss some technical points about pipe making. Thanks!
