You might be a pipemaker if...
*You are in the shower and can't help admiring the shank/bowl transition on the faucet.
*You have a strong suspicion that Mr. Spock's home planet was manufactured by NYH Hamburg.
*You think "Deadliest Catch" is a video about how to use the skew chisel.
*Your mother-in-law says she's going to buy your child some blocks to play with and you reply "plateaux or ebauchons?"
*You are constantly lobbying to name your daughter Virginia Perique.
*You have a black lab named Latakia.
Anybody else?

Re: You might be a pipemaker if...
As a start..................you derive a good portion, if not all, your income from pipe making.
If you admire the shank/bowl transition on the faucet, you're a plumber.
If you ever think of Mr. Spock, in any regard, you're a dork.
Etc, etc...........................

Re: You might be a pipemaker if...
You have to cut Bruce some slack, Tyler. He's just cranky because he's so ham-fisted with sandblasting. Every pipe just melts away into a shapeless blob no matter what he does, and it's starting to piss him off.
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

Not cranky or a pooper, just trying to add some levity.

You know you're a Pipemaker, when every tool you see, could work for Pipemaking, with a little help from you.

If the first thing you look for in a new home is a garage.
If your four year old can name all the shapes on the shape chart.
If vacation for you is going to a big city for a pipe show.

You might be a pipe maker if:
you only eat 2 meals a day and they both include peanut butter.
Natural Ice exceeds your beer budget.
you use the same razor for 2 months because its still capable of pulling out the hair.
you question why your cats have a 42 dollar per month kibble habit.
you dont remember what it was like to have cable.
your lathe cost more than your car
people question why your finger tips are orange red and yellow all at the same time
your girl asks you daily "where is all this fucking dust coming from?"

When your wife constantly yells "I thought you said you weren't going to buy anymore tools" and your response is "when did I say that?"

You know…………..if you lose sleep over where your going to put, what you just ordered, then fall to sleep finally swearing you'll build a bigger shop, then wake up again,wandering if you'll live long enough to justify it?
Re: You might be a pipemaker if...
You know you're a pipemaker when every free moment you have you sneak out to your shop, even when you're not working, just to think or to sit there with a cup of coffee and find solace in the cool metal of you lathe

Re: You might be a pipemaker if...
I did this twice yesterday. Got up at 530 AM worked on a pipe for an hour or two. Went to work until 8am to 1 am. Came home and worked on a pipe until 4 am. That's really sneaking the time in
