Broken Pipes - Throw It In the Trash?

[bienden]

I have a lot of broken pipes: cracked shank, broken stem....

Throw them in the trash?

No!!!.

This is my solution

Black Sea, you make some beautiful pipes my friend!...

 

[bienden]

Thanks weezell, for your encouragement and for calling me Black Sea :D :D :D

Now that is possibly the most ingenious salvaging of broken pipes I've ever seen. Well done! :clap:

I can't get behind bamboo, but I love the ingenuity!
I'm guessing that bienden was Auto-corrected to Black Sea

I thought it was in another language and that it translated to Black Sea. I just spent time with google translate, but couldn't come up with what language.
Black Sea, could you inform us please?

Great restorations and reclamations for sure. The pieces and parts of pipes have to be pretty well crushed and dismantled not to be useable, but it takes skill and time to bring the pieces back together. I do admire it.

Bien Den is the my Facebook nickname, in Vietnamese. In English, Bien = Sea; Den = Black.

And Black Sea is the name stamped on the pipe I did. You can call any name, but here I like you to call me Black Sea :P .

That is an interesting way to keep that good, old, seasoned briar alive.

Actually, I got the idea from Dunhill's Cavalier pipe.

But I like to use bamboo, which is the material available in my country. And moreover, I want it to stand by itself. This takes a bit of effort and needs to be calculated to balance. I like doing such things.

I am happy if you also like this solution.

If it looks stupid but works^^ And this doesnt even look stupid it looks rather stylish.

 

[mau1]

Interesting! you are very creative, my good man.

While not fan of bamboo and too conservative in shape preferences, I can still admire the ingenuity and workmanship.
