Buffing Wheel Mishap - Barling

[jpmcwjr]

Somewhere there is a video of Mogen Johansen of Johs pipes carving stummels on a wheel. He's famous for turning out product. Making it look that (relatively) easy is a hazard to the public. Don't try this at home.

Reminds me of watching Nimmo or others cut ebauchons on a 20"+ sawwheel with not one safety item used. I'd be called "Stumpy".

It's now repaired.. He's about to load it up and smoke it.

Looks like he buffed the stummel? The sandblast is flat now. I buff the stem off the pipe but you have to be very careful not to round any edges.

well honestly no one is sure about that. Considering he didn't mention why he's got an eyepatch.

It was probably the BB gun.

I mostly use no wax or other cleaners or polishes on my pipes thinking about the residue they could leave. Mostly, I think I value the natural wear improved by a good hand buffing. It's my version of purism and not for everyone, or maybe most.

I agree, the guy who did the repair can be heavy handed with the buffing wheel.

Well, the fact that it’s a pipe with a cracked in half bowl detracts more than that... ?

The repair was done by another pipe clubber. Not sure what kind of adhesive was used. Pipe held up fine though.

I leave comments like that while thinking the positive part in my head without posting it. I think it’s great he got the pipe back in service and is smoking it!!
