I have a Comoy that has a very loose tenon. Is there something I can do to fix it or do I have to send it away? Thanking you in advance.  Bob

I've always favored the heat the tenon and press gently against something solid method.

Azmtnboy

Thank you. I will sure try.

Be careful ...

Thank you motie 2. I tried your method and it worked  great after I got done with the fear of overheating.

@Azmtnboy -- You are most welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you.

I have this nice old molina pipe, it smokes great but it is missing the red ring. It should have a red, white, and green ring to symbolize the Italian flag. Any chance of finding a replacement or am I out of luck? Thanks in advance

Call some of the pipe repair shops and one of them should be able to duplicate the ring. You may have to call a couple of different ones.

Thanks PappyJoe

Look up Briarville. I use Ric when I want something done.

Yep, if Ric can't do it, it can't be done...

If you don’t have any luck, let me know.  I don’t have any red acrylic and I’m not sure if I can find any, but I will look.

@motie2, @Scampi
The repair side of Walker Briar Works has been taken over by Mike Meyers as Walker Pipe Repair.  I highly recommend him, especially when you need a stem replacement and want to keep the original pipe shank nomenclature/stamping.  Reasonable and fast.
