Not sure where you're gonna get it, but the Donkey Express should be able to get you a tin or two from overseas. :heart: Hope everything's status-quo and good down there. 8)

Ol' Mick looks like he'd drop a proud ripper, alright. :lol:

Dadgum'it, Monbla, just when we start having a conversation you stop paying attention: I ain't got no tin, bro. :lol: I did, however, get a plastic bag with a generous pinch of the stuff from Sir Huggett some time ago. No tin. Too bad the stuff is relatively unavailable here. 8)

When the Alaskan wants snow along side the Nevadan that NEEDS it so as not to have to piss in the houseplants and fish tank to keep everything alive this summer, you know it's been a dry winter along the west coast.  :lol:   Bring on the effing snow! 8)

I'm actually not too sure what era and incarnation of Mick's Square I have.   Digging through the samples recently, I found a lot of stuff Huggie sent to me some time ago, and it was all in great shape (I jarred the bags).   That picture I posted is one I litigiously stole and hotlinked as an...

Story of my life in the desert. While I try not to let this happen, it does. A bag I forgot, a jar I didn't quite get the lid on properly, and well... it really does work in a pinch. 8)

There's tin art that I find cool, and some that creeps me out.   The "Shrewd Judge" looks like the cat who ate the canary and Cornell & Diehl has had countless awkward and fun cartoon-like labels.   Ol' Mick McQuaid on the other hand has a sly, somewhat intoxicated and odd grin that has to go...

Time for a cob pride parade. :snerk:

Traded some tins, arrived quickly...very generous trade!!! :D 8)

  Cart riled me up on his own, you didn't do anything, Al, and he does that kind of thing because he thinks he's someone around here, rather that just another BoB Brother (like you or I).  It happens in forums, guys like playing King of the Mountain...and assume I like playing too, because I'm...

Catching implications ain't your strong suit, cowboy. Lock the thread if this conversation is ended, Mr. Moderator. :heart: 8)

If you cut back on the hyperbole and assumptions, we're at the same conclusion, champ.   I'll try walk you through this again with a little more detail-- No one with a knowledge of tools would use (or assume to use) a buffing wheel for an entire whole process of anything.   I find that it's...

I'd sell the last bit of a no-longer-available unobtainium if I had it. It'd sit there taking up space, I'd never smoke it, I'd still be the guy shaking his cane at "that one blend and how it used to be" and not have extra money to buy something I can smoke all day (fuel to bitch about my...

On the flipside, someone could start selling them at $30 - $35 and suddenly Dave's stems would look like a bargain.   :lol:   Reverse "Wal-Marting?"     I like the tape idea if the stem isn't fitting, and especially when the stem is the part invested in (presumably) forever... no sense in...

Here's another tip for the acid-mouthed fellers: scotch tape just behind the button. You might have to replace it now and again, but a single layer of the stuff cuts back on teeth marks and oxidation. If that doesn't work, electrical shrink wrap (black probably would look nicest) can...

Yeah, it would seem so.  87 years they've been in business, and they're who taught me the process.   It's a similar process most professional pipe shops use.   It shocks most people when they discover church bell foundries use cow, donkey and horse dung to make their bells, and they discuss...

Monbla, everyone. :slowclap: Timbo, any recordings posted anywhere? :D 8)

I've restored around 100 pipes and I can go from green to mirror-black on the worst case pipes with a buffng wheel. It's all about a special compound I get from my Tinder Box. It most certainly can be done.

There's classy elitism, the elite rubes, and those that just DGAF. I bounce somewhere between all three depending on the scenario. There's nothing inherently wrong with any of it unless one is particularly concerned about social image. If you happen to like something, you like it, no...

...and...who waits unknown around the corner... :heart: :hubba:
