where did you get the thread chaser?

Thank you for sharing. The finished product looks great!

Thanks for sharing! I've got an old set I'm about to tackle I like your waxed hemp trick, a lot less intrusive than a combing tool.

Hey there! What kind of wood lathe you recommend for refurbishing pipes? And at what speed it should spin? Thank you!

Sir! Tanks so much for this! Would you please make a video - with your very clear explanations - on the process showed in the video (Fasttime) from the 08:41 mark to 09:04 please? I guess that include the initial sanding, hemped and polish and the final polish. That would be great. I just got a vintage set of pipes from an old friend of mine but they need to be refurbished and I don't have the $500 for having professionally done here in Canada (plus double shipping costs). Thank you kind Sir!

Keep the videos coming love this stuff I’ve been playing the same pipes since I was 8 I’d love the get them cleaned up

I just had mine completely refurbished.. the old Caitlin was cracked and they were looking like crap… never was able to find markings on them either… but they always sounded great… took them to an old fella named Gord Tuck (Ont 🇨🇦) and he confirmed they’re a nicer old handmade instrument with Henderson bores! Likely a Henderson maker who went out on his own but took along his tools from the previous shop. I had been playing the reproduction Duncan MacRae’s for the past two years… got my old pipes back from Gord… tied them into an old L&M leather bag and my GOD they were so much lighter and sweeter sounding… I missed them so

Hey mate, I wanted to say thank you so much for these videos! I'm in the slow process of bringing my 1940s ivory Lauries back to life after taking a 20 year break. Your black hemp trick on the combing is going to be life changing!! Please keep on posting, your knowledge is so valuable! What was the name of the combing tool you used?

That was cool David. Best of luck with that upcoming performance.

this is really fascinating. what are you using for polish? If you said it in the video I missed it

Lovely tone. What’s the tune?

Super impressed. What finish did you put on them? I’ve got an older set of pipes that needs a new finish, been oiling them slowly but was curious what to use as a finish.

That first set looks beautiful now that they are finished David. Best of luck with the new project. In the meantime, stay warm and take care. Art...

Not a criticism, but why did the person opt to shorten the blow pipe vs the shortening the mouthpiece? It’s their instrument so they can do what they like I was just curious. Also I don’t find the videos boring at all!

This is good stuff!
