Yes Jeremiah, my mistake. You are absolutely right, I did not mention that art is also a product of the creators own emotion, and is one of, if not the most important element. That is what makes it original. You are also right about interpretation. A cover band is just a cover band, and reproducing ...

My personal opinion is that making the pipe is "craft" designing it is "engineering and design" and the emotion it bestows upon you or another is "art". Art is emotion, not the act or ability to create it. The act or ability to create is called skill. Take music for exa...

Thanks Ryan

What exactly is the originally engineered "function" of the Cavalier design?

Well this will be interesting, and definitely a challenge! The possibilities for design are almost limitless. I can't wait to see what kind of mechanical contraption Nate will come up with

Any word yet?

You have great inner vision. Seriously, these are great!

Awesome artwork Walt!

Any word on shape for 2015? I'm anxious to get started on design.

That is a great set Ian. IMO it is priced too low. I think you'd make more selling them individually, but as a set I'd say $250-275 seems like a fair price. The first thing I see that would be a deterent is the initials on the top of the shank. Keep it on the bottom. Your work is definitely showing ...

Yes it was great finally getting to meet most of you. Honestly you all are exactly how I'd envisioned you to be. I have not come across one ill soul in this brotherhood. Premal as well as many of you have encouraged me and given me helpful advise that you can not put a price on. I am regretful that ...

Do you all normally use precarbonize bowl coating?

I had to call buckeye as well. They aren't very good with online communication.
