Nicely done!

 

[Ducttapegonewild]

Those are impressive. Did you just restore them in one night?

 

[ChefBoyRG54]

Look nice Dave

 

[CATom]

Those look great.

You really do some quality work Dave. It's always cool to see someone restoring things to their former glory and enjoying them.

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Really digging your work brother... If I didn't already have so many hobbies with cigars, pipes, brewing, and roasting coffee I would love to do this myself too

 

[javajunkie]

looking great, dave! you leave the stinger in the WCD, was it a pull out, or did you do a "surgery"?

 

[crperkins]

Saw these on IG, they look great man.

Yes. I actually did 3. I just didn't take pics of my falcon I did. I forgot to take the before pics. I had to let the Curtis Draper cool after the pipe retort. So while it was cooling I did the falcon.

Exactly. I enjoy it and it relaxes me.

I know what u mean. But my other hobbies are more time consuming and more expensive. Building ARs, rebuilding two stroke lawn boys. Harleys yada yada. The pipe restoration is inexpensive and I get a finished product in a few hours. Idk a sense of accomplishment. I don't have much down time these days with working 12hrs a day 6 or 7 days a week.

While I was using my fingernail to scrape the gunk off it moved so I pulled it out. It was very snug but it came out. I soaked it in alcohol. Did not buff it.

Thanx. Wow someone with ur skills compliments me that's FREAKIN HUGE. Means alot my friend.

I'm still learning. Had a big "what the hell? Oh WOW!" moment last night.

 

[Grrrrr609]

I'm trying to do the write ups on both of these pipes but wordpress screwed up their app and won't let me attach photos anymore so now I have to wait till I can get on a computer. I have some detailed info on both and what I did and a huge lesson learned on the WCD one.

 

[Grrrrr609]

Here is the Falcon

 

[Wrench77]

Very nicely done. Seeing all these pipe threads makes me want to try a pipe.

 

[Ducttapegonewild]

I may need to bend your ear one day, this may be a hobby I could sink my teeth into. Something that won't cost a pretty penny.
