Estate Pipe Restoration I

[Taerin74]

Much easier to sandpaper with 600 grit, then 1,500 grit and then 3,000 grit sandpaper using the deoxidizer from Walker Briar Works at the end of each sanding to remove the oxidization that the sandpaper exposed and then polishing up the stem with some wax. Most oxidization I have seen will not get removed soley by that oxidization remover and the owner of Walker Briar Works himself has stated in email his product should be used with sandpaper if the oxidization is bad.

Lol we should be use to this motion

@rmanasa maybe i dont notice the dust being brown because i use such a fine grit?

[Stormwulf133]

@rmanasa yeah but it depends on how much time you spend with BKF. It will take it out all the way imho, given enough time and scrubbing, and maybe soaking.

[Jeffsmith211]

A good soak in oxi clean works extremely well for removing oxidation. if that doesn't work try scrubbing with oxi clean and a mr. clean magic eraser. Work smarter not harder!

3:44 make me want to pee.

[Stormwulf133]

@Jeffsmith211 Thanks man. Will try that next time.

[pipethought]

I'm totally unfamiliar with all those things you said I should be familiar with.

Could you elaborate?

lololol

Great video man. 

I do need to try that Bar Keepers Friend.

Looking forward to the next post.

[Stormwulf133]

@pipethought SURE you are! And yes BKF works awesome. Its only a couple of bucks, just a lot of elbow grease.

[Jthmeffy]

Very informative! Thanks for the video, man.

[Stormwulf133]

@Jthmeffy Hope it helps

[greenfairypipe]

Great vid man. Where did you get the barkeepers friend

[Stormwulf133]

@greenfairypipe Wal-Mart

[greenfairypipe]

[PAPIPEGUY]

Waxing the stem? Is that what they call it now? LOL

[Stormwulf133]

@PAPIPEGUY yup

[GothamCitySmoker]

Great vid. Thanks for showing the Barkeeper's Friend. I have been wanting to get it since Acaciavet mentioned it. Also, I'm really impressed with those Walker products. I may have to order those too. Cheers. 

[Stormwulf133]

@GothamCitySmoker Really you only need the wax if you dont have a buffer. The stem stuff you can do without with the Barkeepers friend

[dighsx]

Good vid. But I kept waiting for mr miyagi to walk into the shot and say "Wax on, wax off" hehe

[Stormwulf133]

@dighsx He wont, but Ry pretty much said whacks on, whacks off LOL

[pipeheadOR]

Right on. ive been wanting to see the the bartenders keep works. I am doing to restoring vids now, but Im a better "doer" than teacher...Ha! Does the BK rub off...the insignias?? Like bleach eats the symbols off.

[Stormwulf133]

@pipeheadOR It did not mess with any of the logos I used it on, this one was already gone. Nor did it pit the stem like bleach

[reverendmbrewer]

Not going to be a fetish video. Dammit, why am I still holding on and watching? Maybe I'm hoping for a surprise ending. :-)

"...turn off the camera so I can do this with two hands..." THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

Looks pretty good. Nice work man!

[thepypehype]

oh boy..you're jacking that pipe off again

[Stormwulf133]

@thepypehype figured you would find that worthy of a comment. as if i didnt comment on it enough. But hey the stem is now shiny, almost as good as with a buffer.
