    Help Me Date This Brebbia

    I've seen the MPB and Diamond inlays on Brebbias before, but never the Circle B. Can anyone help tell me when this was made? I can't seem to find any info on the interwebz. A little history: I had a pipe similar to this and it didn't get much use. I was talking to a customer who mentioned he...

    Sutherland Pipes Appreciation Post

    He invested a decent amount of time and money into building a device that he says takes forever to set up, but when it is done, he can put the bit wherever he wants it to go. I doubt it. I think he feeds briar worms tequila daily until they're dependant on alcohol, then when it's time, he...

    Show-Off Your Stanwell Pipes Here!

    I know it's on the chart, but this pipe has no stamps. Just the brass crowned S on the stem. I don't remember the number. It might be a 185 Flame Grain.

    Dating Im Corona Old Boys

    Not really. I'm not really clear on when they went from the plastic cases to the padded ones, or if the grey one denoted something different. I know they came out in the 80's, but there's very little information on that.

    Dating Im Corona Old Boys

    Anyone here good at dating Old Boys. I have 2 pretty old ones. This one is in a box I've never seen before. The other one is the same style box, but it's brown and clear. I have a Pipe Master in that same style and color; brown and clear. Thanks in advance!

    Extreme Bend Pipes?????

    Robert's attention to detail is second to none. The bulk of the work is done by hand. Look at those transitions. Check out how thoughtful he is of the grain orientation (the Overbent Twist literally looks like the briar was bent and twisted) I have another even more mind blowing work of art in...

    Removing Stem/Shank From Corn Cobs

    It took a little longer: 12 sec followed by 8sec. But it worked. Thanks!

    Removing Stem/Shank From Corn Cobs

    So, what do you do if they used so much glue that the shank doesn't budge? I have a dagger poker with a cracked shank and another drilled crooked that's so thin light shines through it and the stem goes in at an angle. I want make a new shank out of oak dowel.
