New Piper Here!

Merry Christmas & welcome from Finland-EU

Thanks guys! Y'all really make someone feel welcome. I really enjoy the gadgets that go with piping. I bought one of those tamper/pick tool things and some regular pipe cleaners. I ordered one of those adjustable reamers. I also ordered an unsentimental estate pipe from eBay to practice my restoration techniques on before I attempt one of my sentimental ones.

Welcome! You came to the right place.

I've bought a few lots of old pipes on eBay to practice restoring on before I tackle my family heirlooms. I'm really looking forward to restoring these old pipes. Do a lot of y'all do restorations and have any advice?

Go slowly, and take pictures, before, durning and after.
