Flake cutter
 |
| Not sure how old this flake cutter is but i think at least 100 years old. |
 |
| I was slicing some flakes to smoke and got carried away. |
 |
| It really does cut perfect flakes. |
 |
| The tobacco is Samuel Gawith RB plug |
 |
| The last was a bit too thick for a flake so cubed it. |
Yale pipe smoking
 |
| This photo shows an old Yale commencement tradition. The Presentation Day custom was to bring pipes outside and smoke, and then set them upright and do a “stag dance” where they ran around and broke their pipes to seal their friendships.. |

Corn cob P-Lip
 |
| Turned an adapter to fit a P-Lip stem. Corn cob pipes vary in size so the tenon is slightly tapered like a military mount. |
