Looks like Floyd really turned that clunker into something.

OK, put that down; we can talk this out without bloodshed.

I dont normally name my chunks of wood and plastic, but this one will be now known as "Sows Ear".

Riff, Beautiful stem indeed! Floyd does good work and lightening quick for a man his age.
I still don't know how he gets so much done so quick. I reckon when you've been doing it as long as he has it's just second nature.

For the life of me I cannot figure out how some threads make it past me, but this one did. What a stunning spigot Al! The cumberland stem certainly sets it off very nicely.

Congrats on another fine Upshall!:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I took another look at it and just realized he put a silver collar on that Cumberland stem ! It looks soooooo much better than the original now !! :cheers:

I thought the same thing for a bit. Went back and looked at the original pic and it became clear. He moved the silver from the black stem to the Cumberland. Did a beautiful job of it too. Looks every bit as good as the original work.

Yes, the original silver collar had to be saved. The icing on the cake was that the original black stem would still work, given the army fitment.

She . . . just waits until I make a buy, then she grabs it.  Fortunately, I got the mail yesterday....she knows pipe boxes.

I've often wondered why pipe etailers don't put some thought into disguising their shipments. For instance, they could put them in a white plastic envelope, and add something rattly. "What's in the package dear? Another pipe?"  "No sweety. (rattles the package to demonstrate) It's my Viagra." (she immediately changes the subject)

My wife would break out in laughter.

Actually, lately she has just taken to stacking them on my work bench...(code for - "I won"!)

She knows it's an exercise in futility. :twisted: :lol!:
