Refurb of Pipe Show Pipes/Others!


Well on the way back home from the pipeshow in St. Louis I stopped by Harbor freight and picked up the buffing wheels and Tripoli, already had the Carnuba. I have now done my first pipe cleaning and buffing. The stem was pretty well worn and discolored on a No Name Freehand made in Denmark, but now shines like glass. I haven't put any Carnuba on it yet but when I finished buffing the pipe and stem it doesn't even look like the same one. Now I have all these others to do....LOL.... Also got a good reamer to clean them up with too so I'm set up. My pipes will look as good as they can soon. emoticon
Ted I'm now ready to tackle the stem on that Ben Wade of yours. emoticon emoticon
