    Do you Cover the Bowl when you Smoke?

    Thank you all for your replies.

    Do you Cover the Bowl when you Smoke?

    A few nights ago my son-in-law and I were smoking on the back patio and I noticed he was putting his thumb on top ot the bowl and raising it up and down as he smoked. Kind of regulating the flow of air. He had a massive billow of smoke. I asked him what he was doing and how he came up with the...

    FS Frog Morton and Dunhill

    Oh, man. Sorry about that. I will see if I can delete it. Or If a moderator wants to move it, that would be good too. The Frog Morton is an unopened 100 gram tin.

    FS Frog Morton and Dunhill

    Hi all. I had to stop smoking pipes a couple years ago due to a lung issue. Not related to smoking, but all smoke makes it worse. It's a bummer but it is what it is. I have come to accept the fact that there is no point hanging on to my pipe collection and tobacco collection. I know someone...

    Ebay $&@!?

    I agree with what many others have said. You either have to be patient and be willing to lose a lot to get a great deal, or be willing to be be the highest bidder. As for myself, my approach to ebay is to keep 15-20 pipes in my watch list all the time. This gives me a good idea of the realistic...

    GBD Tobaco Pouch Refurb needed

    Would something like this work in it? https://www.amazon.com/BCP-Waterproof-Transparent-Cosmetic-Organizer/dp/B076S5885Q/ref=sr_1_10_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1528118974&sr=8-10&keywords=waterproof+zipper+pouch

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    Thank you, gentlemen. Glad you like it, Mike. I'm going to hit it with some wax and buffing one more time and then I'll get this baby headed back home. Yes Fnord, I agree. I had the chance to hear Colson speak in person twice (besides being a Breakpoint fan). Really good.

    How is the lining attached to the leather?

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    Thank you for all the kind comments and words of advice guys! It is very encouraging and helpful. Mike, I don't see any other fills on this pipe, so I bet you are right. That fill ain't lighter than the rest anymore. It matches pretty well. I finally got some wax on this baby. Mike, I know you...

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    Isn't it true that it seems no matter how big or how small the project, there is always something that comes up that throws a wrench into the works? Ugh. After I applied the contrast dye I noticed this blem. I'm not sure if it is a crack or a void. I'm fearing the former but hoping for the...

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    Excellent point. Thanks for making that suggestion. It's so hard not to go shiny though! Mike, I'll throw a piece of 1000 grit paper in the box when I ship it back. Feel free to knock the shine down if the visibility of the repair drives you nuts.

    Pipe Restoration for My Dad

    Good luck. Let us know how it's coming along.

    Pipe Restoration for My Dad

    Yep. That stuff'll do it. As for the crack, if it were mine, I'd carve out a little V shape in the crack to create some more surface area first. Maybe use the tip of an X-Acto knife or even a utility knife to gently scrape away some material to open it up a bit. Then sand it with some folded...

    Pipe Restoration for My Dad

    What Mike says is true. Good advice. I use clear nail polish to tighten up ferrules on old fly rods that I restore. As far as the graphite powder goes, I buy it online in fairly large cans for another hobby... restoring old wooden drift boats. I use West System. I bet Home Depot or somewhere...

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    How about some before and after shots of that metal band? Check out the finger prints and specks of dust on the stem! Those are not noticeable with the naked eye. Likewise the high level of detail in the pics makes the band look a little worse than it looks in real life. It is super shiny...

    Nice job so far. The stem looks totally repairable to me. Check out this thread for some ideas... http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/reconstruction-of-a-bit-through-busted-up-stem

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    Turning my attention to the stem for a bit... Someone obviously clenched this pipe with their teeth right up next to ridge. There was chatter and one big bite mark that was about to break through. I did what I could to raise the dents with heat and then sand down the high spots. It worked pretty...

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    Hi Guys. I'm sorry that it has been so long since I posted anything. I'm a school administrator and this time of year is extremely busy for me... finishing up one school year, preparing for next year, doing evaluations, getting new hires lined up... But I have managed to get some work in on this...

    A K&P Restoration for Mike

    Hello All, Our good friend Mike Thompson recently messaged me after being inspired by the St. Pat's pipe I did for Unkleyoda. He asked if I would refinish a K&P for him that is in his rotation. What an honor (and frankly a terrifying responsibility) to be trusted with another forum member's...
