Don't Have a Cork Knocker? No Worries!

Photos, or it didn't happen!

Cynic :rofl:

Calling me a fibber Pagan? Come over here and I will tap my pipe out on your head...but you'd have to remove your hat first sir ::
Regards,

I save the corks from bottles of Basil Hayden's bourbon and from my lady friend's wine bottles and glue them into my ashtrays.
When I'm out and about, I use my heel or palm.

Yup. I gorilla glued a whiskey cork in to a ceramic chip and dip tray shaped like a cowboy hat (Avatar). Best smoking station I've ever had. Have enough room to dry, rub out, carry around a tamper and some cleaners.. good times.
Bless us cheap creative types.

I just throw a wine cork on its side in the ashtray. Works just fine.

 

[ssjones]

Mrs. Jones drinks a lot of wine, I'm never without a steady supply of corks...

Don't have cork knockers?

No worries!

Heel of my shoe.

 

[seagullplayer]

The hand and shoe and fence post all work good outside.
But if your one of the chosen few that get to smoke indoors year around you got to

go another way. I like the egg carton idea, a shot of expanding foam inside might

work nicely with it.

As an outdoor only pipe smoker the need for an ashtray or knocker has never arisen. However, I like the idea of reusing otherwise to be dicarded materials for practical purposes. Aesthetics have their place, just not in an sahtray.
Congrats on your ingenuity newbroom.

No you don't.

Put your hand over the ashtray.

Take your shoe off and hold it over the ashtray.

Put the ashtray on the floor and use your shoe.

Glue a piece of fence post to the ashtray.

Glue a shoe heel to the ashtray.
The only thing that won't work out too well is glueing your hand to the ashtray. Best to glue someone else's.

lord @N8, where did you find that :rofl:

 

[newbroom]

Since this thread was started, 6 months ago?...I've still got the same piece of egg carton in my ash tray.

I filled it with tin foil and wrapped it in tin foil. I haven't glued it down.

I don't use it all the time, but when I do, it is handy.

 

[iamn8]

@ Pagan it's absolutely brilliant huh? Never really thought you could actually build a better mousetrap, but damnit he did!

 

[warren]

I take my palms inside with me so they are good in and out of doors. For the pipes. The tobacco pipes! No need to build anything. I use the tin foil for some of my hats though.
Now that's it's just me and the new puppy, in a rural area, a .45 makes a good mouser. The cross ventilation ain't so great in the winter though. I've got to find a round with a lot less penetration.

 

[mayfair70]

I have always used the palm of my hand. Maybe someday I'll have one of them fancy schmancy cork knockers.

:rofl:
For a mouse? All I can think is a BB gun. Maybe a bow, and arrow with a blunt tip.

[warren]

Since it's not glued down, you could hold in the palm of your hand when you knock the ash out.
