Darn the Luck!

[coming to_falling too]

wkay, so this afternoon I decided to bite the bullet and do some cleaning on my pipes. I got to my basket pipe that I have dedicated to Ennerdale Flake, and I go to take the stem off and BAM! The stem broke off at the tenon, with the tenon still stuck in the mortise. Oh well, cheap pipe so I guess I can't expect much, and I admit that I may have been a little over zealous while pulling the stem. Pics below. Don't know anything to do besides just throw it out. What say you?

New tenon can be made easily, if it’s worth it to you.

Mike Myers at Walker Briar Repair can fix that.

The only time I had a pipe commit suicide was after I smoked Royal Yacht in it. My Ennerdale pipe is quite happy.

Any idea about how much it'd run? I'm not opposed to fixing it, the pipe smokes like a champ, but I'm only 30 dollars down for it.

Looks like $20-$30.

Right on. I dunno I might just buy another inexpensive pipe and keep this one as a reminder.

Looks smokable to me. I’ve certainly smoked through less-capable devices...

Apples and soda cans come to mind

Whoa! When I wrote that I was literally thinking about apples and cans.

None of the sink faucets in my dorm my freshman year had screens left in them...

Probably cost you more than the pipe did. I think the appraiser might call it totaled, haha. If ennerdale is your preference, I’d just use the $20 it would take to repair and buy 4 new cobs, hahaha.

If the pipe is sentimental though, the above suggestions are great options for repair.

When my brother was a teenager he told out mother that the round holes in her screen door were from rats. She believed him. Never smoked it myself, but even I knew what was going on.

You know what they say, great minds smoke pot like a homeless person alike.

I’d try to remove the tenon from the mortise with a small screw and vice grips. See where you’re at from that point. You may be able to glue the tenon back on... insert it... then never remove it again? Not sure it would hold.

 

[shanez]

You could try a bolt extractor. If successful, you might be able to glue the stem back together after removal. You might make things worse if you're too heavy handed though.


If you don't have an extraction kit in your tool box already:

Frankenpipe here we come! Post photos of the progress...

 

[jpmcwjr]

Huh! It looks like you got the tenon about half way out and then.... Ouch. Sideways pressure?

Once you get the piece out of the mortise, you can tape the stem on with lovely black tape- it should do as you ponder what to spend!

 

[coming to_falling too]

I'll probably do what @BROBS suggested. I was looking at a Rossi Vittoria 8804 Canadian I might scoop up. From what I've read on here, Rossi's are great pipes for the price.

UPDATE: I managed to get the tenon from the mortise with a pair of needle nose pliers. Now I suppose I need to look for some glue or some other adhesive to re-attach the tenon to the stem. What do you guys think, would super glue be a bad choice?
