While I appreciate the plug,I am not set up to do bands. Don't have the bands which can be bought from JH Lowe (Tim West) and is something I have little experience doing
The only pipes I have banded, I did with a band swiped from a MM cob!.
One thing I have done is widen the crack INSIDE the mortise and glue it with JB weld !

Whadaya talkin' about! I figured all you'd have to do is hold it in your hand and wish it well.
Actually I was making a joke about us acquiring RJ's pipes. If you look at the post, in tiny letters it says " one pipe at a time ED!"

Ed, once you get that lathe, turning that shank for a ring will be a snap.

Well since the trade is in the mail already Ted I would be glad to give it a shot. If you want to send the pipe to me I'll look at and let you know what I can do.

Ted,if I can't fix it,there are a couple of guys out there that I would recommend to fix it. If I think I can't do it and do it right I won't touch it. Will not risk doing further damage!!
