Vanguard Pipe Restoration Shopping List
Hello my friends, as more of you contact me daily (thank you) I am finding the theory of having a shopping list for you ready to go to be more beneficial.
In saying that, I am an Amazon associate so if you buy through my links Amazon gives me a tiny cut of the sale. (Usually SUPER tiny) So I thank you in advance if you choose to buy through my links.

Things I own that MAY help
Here is the reamer I bought. I personally dislike it very much, but it does have two strengths. It holds bowls strongly while I work on them, and it has a nice drill bit for cleaning out the mortis. I’ve used it many times. https://amzn.to/4cvUWyG
Drill Press: https://amzn.to/4gJBHUO (Not my model but it’s perfect if you need to drill out stems or want to use it as a buffer.)
Flash Light: https://amzn.to/4zY7nNP (Any will do)
