Found my gramps' old pipe. Unfortunately the tenon was broken and he fixed it with tape. I tried to look into the mortise but saw no clues of it. How does one fix this? Is there a way to recreate the tenon using the old stem, because I have some spare stems but they are too big for this pipe.

This means a /pipe/ general

I would probably buy a new stem for the bowl. Like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3pcs-Ebonite-vulcanizates-mouthpieces-Stem-For-Tobacco-Smoking-pipe-Fzui01-/131703816645
Its more sanitary that way anyway.

you could most likely remove the broken stem part from the bowl with a stud extractor then either glue the extracted part back on the stem or better still just buy a new stem, as stated it will be more sanitary, if you have no intention of actually smoking the pipe then gluing the stem back together will suffice I guess, personally I would just buy a new stem either way.

Lmao, I've done basically this before.
A pipe general is probably a little bit too specific.
Anyways I'm going to post my pipes.
This one I made a year ago as a gift for a friend after we started smoking pipe just recently.
The chamber is fuckhuge so it tends to get a little hot if you don't smoke it slowly, but you can really feel like a steamtrain with it.

Anyway. This one here is my newest but for some reason I can't find a pic with the finished product. Not that it has much of a finish since I tend to just oil them and thats it.

And finally my wip. A pipe made from alabaster.
I don't know yet how it will turn out and if it is even usable.
>>1060068
do you also like to smoke the leather pipe, OP?

You mean the cock?

Why can't you just clean everything with alcohol, brush the edges a little and glue it all with epoxy or something?
whats the best way to actually get into this
i dont exactly have the ability to use many power tools so i started trying to whittle one.
puts a huge strain on my already fucked hands, any advice would be rather appreciated
can anyone guess what this pipe could be made of? apparently my mom bought it at a turkish bzaar about 20 or so years ago.
Its never been smoked out of since i dont know what 3rd world materials could of been used.

Unsmoked amber looks like that if I member correctly.

Nice! I have a meerschaum pipe as well and love it. Supposedly that material is used for a better cleaner smoke.
Did some cleaning and fixing
Is there any reason why someone would get into this hobby but doesn't smoke tobacco? Apart from weed what else do you smoke out of them?
I made something like this to smoke bud in, can't grab a picture of mine because i'm not home

Chrurchwarden stems are great. The smoke gets cooler the longer the stem, so you don't get toungebite as easily.
