Edger and others, please don't use abrasives to clean stems unless absolutely necessary. I have suggested, many times (as I don't have buffing wheels), the use of Flitz polish, first.
It is non-abrasive, non-toxic, acid-free, eco friendly and approved by the USDA. Apply lightly with a cotton cloth, work it in with vigor, polish with a clean soft cotton cloth. If a few attempts don't provide a satisfactory cleaning, you may then consider an abrasive. I find Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, although abrasive, used lightly, gets the green out. I then again apply Flitz, and finish with a dab of Obsidian oil. Hope this helps.

Smoking a bowl of Germains Special Latakia Flake with my morning coffee.Using a Savinelli 315 KS.Every time I smoke this I can’t believe how good it is.A second bowl will need to be smoked.It’s the melding of the virginias and orientals that does it for me.

Oh damn! A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I purchased a beat up, thrashed and hammered Kaywoodie for a practice restoration dummy.

I used a Dremel because it was all I had. I turned that hunk of junk into a smaller, even more hunk of junk. It was an eye opener.

Flash forward to today, even though I own a nice buffing rig, I hand polish all of my stems. Oh, that Kaywoodie died a horrible death when the stummel was launched across the room by a horrible buffing accident.

Same here, I’ve actually come to enjoy doing it in some weird way.

Morning everyone, started with Marlin Flake in the Yello Bole and moving on to some 3P’s in Christine.
Interesting system this, I’m going to see if I can access pipe patents for the last 50 years to see if I can identify it.

I was going to ask if you found anything out about that pipe. Looks interesting. What does the bottom of the bowl look like?

Nevermind, i see the side. I assume the stem apparatus slides into the side of the bowl?
