I love the idea, and yes, I think it would be a pain to make the bands. Think of the precision that's needed. Plus, as in your very cool watch example, the band lengths taper meaning you can't just make 10 of the same exact length. You in a sense, make two of each size, one for each side. I would pr...

I appreciate it, but I re-measured, and I need at least 24MM. Thanks again.

Brian.

Hey all, I just realized I'm out of my larger diameter German Ebonite. Does anyone have any they'd like to offload? I don't mind ordering direct, but I figured I'd give someone here a chance to get some cash they might need. I'm looking for something at least 24mm and will go as large as I can get. ...

I'm working on it. It won't be a cheap trip for me with flight, hotel and car, but I might be able to swing it!

Oh man, I would love a space like that. At first I couldn't tell if you were showing us your shop or your dentist's office. It's SO clean!

Well, I guess I'd better find a better CPA. I appreciate you all chiming in. It always helps to get multiple perspectives.

So, I figured being a year and a half into this, I'd better look into getting set up to pay taxes on my pipe sales. :oops: My first year's sales pretty much went back into equipment, but this year I'll probably make some money. :thumbsup: I like to be above the board on things, so today I called a s...

Yeah, it definitely looks better in person. In fact all my pipes do!

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it )

Hey all, It's been a while since I've posted here. Since most of my pipes lately have been commission work, I've not had as much to show. I'm skittish about posting commissions I guess. But on another note, I just started working with that bamboo I got from the group buy, and figured I'd show my lat...

Yep, I like the lines on that one too. Nice work.

Here's one I've never seen before.

Congrats. Nice order. I've had three orders from Mimmo so far. He is my hero.

I kept some and gave some away.

Pretty pipe. I like the shape and the color a lot. The bottom is gorgeous the way the stain is done there. I feel like I might be seeing some minor scratches in the 4th pic going laterally, but I could be wrong.

Nice job.

Man,
I am so so sorry. That is a beautiful pipe!

hey brian, i checked your site. wheres "knuckles" in that picture?? poor guys probably all lonely on your pipe rack and stuff. :( Rack??? No, not even that much dignity for Knuckles. I think it's up on a shelf somewhere collecting dust in my closet. Now that I make pipes that don't gurgle...

So far all my pipes I have made are for me so I guess they are all shop pipes

That's the only I actually purposefully made for myself. It an Acrylic "horn" band. I haven't worked with metal yet.

I'm not trying to hijack Wiseman's thread here. I just always like seeing pictures, so I posted one myself. :D These pipes aren't for sale. When I say these are my "shop" pipes, what that means is, these are my only pipes. Minus a few stragglers that I didn't make, this is the sum of my co...

Thanks.

Here are my shop pipes. Only one of them did I actually purpose to make for myself. The others were either really early on pipes, or just pipes that don't fit my standards today. These are the ones I've kept. I've given a good number away too. http://growleypipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Shop-...
