PIPE SCHOOL!!! with Grant Batson

[the rev]

So had three days of training with Grant, was very helpful. Learned a lot and made a life long friend.

just realized I didn't take or have many pictures of myself, so asked Grant to send me some. Here are a few that I have of the week.

Hey rev. It's tomorrow. Where's our pictures at?

This thread is like an unending drum roll without a cymbal crash.

After the fundraising thing, the travel, shop time logged, and "I did it!" announcements, it's time to post some pics of what you made, Rev. Drinking beer is fine and all, but everyone knows what beer glasses look like.

[the rev]

Well my brother got sick, and he takes my photos. These are as best we have now, I will get better ones soon. Sorry for the build up











We had some problems with the photos, will post more later today. I know these aren't great

Good looking pipes, btw. I can't wait to see more photos!

Visiting Grant really is a game changing event, isn't it?

Yeah man- the word "improvement" comes to mind- these look great!!!

[the rev]

Yeah Grant is really good, I hope I can implement everything I learned without him being there.

Brother is taking more pictures now. The bone white egg does not have a finished stem but I haven't had time to do that yet.
