Thanks George. The insights and instructions are invaluable. And as always the results speak for themselves!!! Dutch

Hi George,
I just finished watching the videos. The result is flawless and structurally stronger than the original. You are a wizard at restoration. Thanks for posting this!!

Your high standards are obvious. So are your artistic talents. "Wizard" is the only correct appellation!

George, I love watching you videos. Such great work and a big thank you for posting this information. Even though I will probably never have the skills to do restoration work, your videos make me appreciate pipes in general much more in depth.

George, what glue was used on the metal tube insert?

George, what glue was used on the metal tube insert?

Since there's no load(s) put on the tube, I doubt it would matter much. I used G-Flex because it sticks well to both metal and wood, though (as in, it couldn't hurt).

Good job, George!

Very happy to see this when I got up this morning.
