I'm not sure where you are in your pipe hobby journey, but next time you are near St. Charles, stop by John Dengler Tobacconist = 700 S. Main St., in Old St. Charles. He has a quaint little B&M there and is very knowledgeable. Also, there is a St. Louis Pipe Club. I have met a few of the guys at the annual St. Louis pipe show held every February. You can receive loads of hands-on learning from them. Because their meeting location is quite a distance from Granite City, I have never made their meetings, but you might want to check them out as well. Hope this helps...

Re: Pipe refinishing
Spent a lot of time on the lathe today turning stems for the stummels. Didn't bother to take pics. Some still need to be cleaned, some sanded, and some will need stain. Of course all will need waxing… (View Post) -
Re: Pipe refinishing
Turns out, I lucked out and was able to bring it back to life after a lot of elbow grease. I still have to go 600 to 800 grit, but you get the idea... (View Post) -
