Good as new!



THANK YOU for your guidance and superb skills Bill!

Once the super glue cures, I will be happy to be able to smoke this pipe again!
In the end, it probably would have been much easier and more efficient to just send it out for repair or just chuck it, but that would not have left me with the satisfaction I received by doing it myself.
Mark,

Thanks for a great post! This should be made into a STICKY thread (at least part of it) as a simple guide to replace a tenon.

Kudos to you and Bill (Imperial Majesty @Emperor Zurg) for the collaboration. Well done.

Pete
