    I’m a bit embarrassed to even ask, but there’s this sliver of doubt going either way that’s driving me nuts. lol. There’s no stamping on the band and it appears to be aluminum or nickel but I would have assumed they’d use silver bands. I’ve only had a couple so I’m not well versed with the...

    Bench Grinder With Beall Buff System - Hot, Burning Oil Smell Help

    Hey all. So when I got into restoring, I didn’t know a lot about anything machine or repair related. I went for cheap since it was a new hobby and got an 8” bench grinder from Wen for $150 (variable speed down to 2k) and the Beall wood buff system. I used it for 2 years for buffing and waxing...

    Regarding Screw-In Tenons Like Kaywoodie, Grabow… What Do You Do If Stem Won’t Stay Tight?

    Hey guys. I work almost entirely with screw-in joints like the Ajustomatic. I had a customer ask me how to fix their (new to them) very nice Grabow that kept coming loose. Now, I’ve always found that after a few smokes, the situation solves itself. For an immediate fix, I will look for...

    Parker Pipe With Interesting Shape - Any Parker People?

    I got a few and this one didn’t quite show on the pics just how big it was. Lol. Anyone seen this shape before? It’s like a billiard where the bowl has been bloated up twice it’s size. It is bigger than you’d think. XL for sure or group 4 etc.

    Help With Vincent Pipe - Which Vincent?

    Hey guys, I nabbed this beauty a while back and did a minor restore. The grain is nice of course. I’ve been trying to be more than a bit sure on which “Vincent” made it. There are a few, even within St. Claude. Roger Vincent comes up the most but he mainly does sculptured pipes, though he...

    Question About Heat / Flame To Raise Dents On Vulcanite Stems...

    Hey guys, I’ve seen this done many times and again, reading a rebornpipes article, he explains it and they always seem to get a good result from this. At least enough to lessen any sanding needed. I am pretty experienced in most restoration and I just have never seen a difference when I try...

    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...
