Your Pipe of The Day.

Great now we will be fighting over pipes in estate sales and antique stores with shave guys as well... Lol

I like the Comoy, 1st cousin to the Chacoms! Simple graceful lines.

 

I thought that was a light Virginia and burley blend that was just spilling over the top!

 

Anyone know much about Kaywoodie Fine Line pipes? Saw one in an antique shop near me that looked (to me anyway) to be in decent shape for 10 bucks. Thinking about picking it up and trying my hand at cleaning it up.

 

I like the idea of using those lucite stems on cobs, and also for a pipe with a broken stem. I might prefer them to be slightly shorter, but they look good. Have you tried bending one yet?

 

I haven't tried it yet, tomorrow may be a good opportunity.

A beautiful morning, although rain is still in the forecast this afternoon.

 

I bent a couple of the stems today. Using a MM I didn't care for with a pipe cleaner extending out the stem to keep it off the bottom, I simmered for five minutes.


I then bent the stems around a round hammer handle I had.


Of course, I had to try one in a Mark Twain with a little OGS as a test.



It worked well, although I think the bend is a little more than I care for. I'll give them a couple of weeks to see if they straighten out a bit. If not, I may reheat and reduce the bend.

Looks like the boiling water trick works great! Just speculation on my part, but I'm guessing once the acrylic gets set it won't straighten out any more.

 

Saturday garage pipes - Saturday morning, Newminister Superior Round in a Briary billiard; Saturday afternoon, still working in garage, CH in MM Legend. Gunner walked up and stuck his head through the spindles just as I snapped picture. Gunner was a trooper, stuck with me all day Saturday working in the garage.




Sunday afternoon pipe, AJ's VaPer in Chacom tall billiard.
Sorry for pictures being a little dark, it was either in the shade under deck roof, or washed out in direct sunlight.

 

How's the lighter working for you

Do it.


I've never had a bad Kaywoodie experience.

 

I'm not sure. I've been seeing them online in better shape for ~$25. I'll look and think about it.

Like that one.

 

I'd pay 35 for the one pictured. 1960s versions are super great pipes.

 

I think it's the same shape too. And I don't see tooth marks, and the metal band looks a lot cleaner.

 

My dad bought this pipe the day I was born in 1963. The stem sits tight , but crooked at about 1 O'Clock



I don't smoke but would love for it to be repaired. I remember he used to have it sit in a stand that looked like a chair.

Great looking piece of family history, so don't take this dump question the wrong way.

Have you tried to just twist the stem back to the 12 o'clock position?

And if you could take a pic or two of how the stem is attached to the pipe it could help some of these guys point you in the right direction.
