Polishing a Sandblasted Pipe
I’m not actually asking a question here, just sharing a lesson I recently learned. for a long time I couldn’t figure out how to polish a textured pipe without leaving a hazy cloud in the valleys when using carnauba wax as a finish. I’m normally not big on social media, but I happened across a...- Wifesbain

I’m Not Sure if this is Broken.
Evening gents, In my latest batch of estate pipes I received some additional odds and ends. One item is a pipe bowl without a stem. I believe once it is cleaned up it may be interesting. I wanted to post some pics here to see if anyone can tell me a brand name so I can hopefully try to...- Wifesbain

Menhall Langelinie Freehand Pipe
Does anyone happen to know anything about this pipe or family of pipes? My neighbor is a jeweler who has his own small shop. Last weekend he saw my collection of refurbished pipes, and as a tradesman himself, appreciated it. He came over tonight and gave me this pipe. He had been talking to...- Wifesbain

Refurbishing the Metal Band
I have a couple estates with metal bands. The one I’m working on now is flaked with a lot of scratches on the band. I have been using Never-dull to clean it up, and then polishing it with Tripoli at the same time as the bowl. The metal oxides have been fouling the wheel, so I believe I should...- Wifesbain

Pipe Filters on a Savinelli Roma
Stopped in to a new tobacco shop today just to browse. Came home with a new Savinelli Roma. Nice looking and smoked well. The problem I had is that I apparently smoke like a dog that just smelled a steak. About half way through the first bowl I started getting a high pitched wet reed sound...- Wifesbain

Displaying Your Pipes
BROBS got me thinking. When you have a large collection, what do you use to display that many pipes? I’m in the 50’s, but only have pipe racks for 12. No point in having things you appreciate if you can’t at least look at them, or show them off...- Wifesbain

Tobacco’s Per Pipe?
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Ok, I will admit to being the tiniest bit OCD. the wife says it’s weird to have the drawers of your tool box shadowed for each tool... Much like when I started tasting whiskeys, I’m betting it will take a while to overcome the smoke (like the...- Wifesbain

Chunk of the Bowl Missing
Evening all I have read several posts here, but this is my first post. I am one of those people who tries to do everything myself, even if it gets me in trouble. With that in mind, and the fact I have more time than money, I have been collecting estate lots for a while and cleaning them up...- Wifesbain
