Sandcastle Pipes. It has a nice ring to it. Forget blasting. Sell pipes with sand pits as unique/special pipes. You can say the pits in your pipes were created using sand from Scotland combined with a proprietary process that took years to develop.

There we go. Although the pits in my pipes were created by sand in Algeria, not Scottland.

I hope the case will be a little larger than normal. It is going to be difficult to fit 7 Cavaliers in one.

The case subject has already come up with the contest decision makers, so I don't expect any problems. They're on it.

There WILL be a maximum pipe length limit to facilitate a case being made in advance, but it will be generous. Probably 8" or so. (Basically, no churchwardens.)

Oh yeah. I mentioned it earlier but want to repeat it: The drain / plumbing must be functional. i.e. the cap removable, and the airway go all the way through.

Other than that and a size limit, though, anything goes.

I haven’t posted in a few months so I hope it’s ok if I hop in with a question.
I made this pipe about a dozen pipes ago, so I’d expect to improve upon it now, but also as a second iteration I tend to do better. The well\drain is functional.

Would this count as a Cavalier for the contest rules?





Thank you,
Bill

For the purposes of the contest---meaning to avoid arbitrary constraints---I suppose so. I wouldn't have called such a design a cavalier if I came across it before today, understand... (maybe a "reverse" cavalier, or something), but for the sake of contest administration, why not?

Hell I thought the word got out that I wear Sponge Bob Square Pants under drawers.

I had a very close friend and fellow biker that stood 6'4" and was a Sponge Bob fan. Unfortunately he has passed away. Every time I see something related to S.B. I say hi to him. Sponge Bob is for kids of all ages. Your 3 year old is in great company. Now start saving up for a motorcycle for him LOL.

He got to sit on his first bike this weekend. My Uncle started it up and my little guy went nuts. He LOVES the loud sounds. I should have taken a picture, but was dealing with dinner and missed out.

That's totally awesome Scottie. I have loved motorcycles since I was a little fella myself. Of course it was the Harley that garnered my affection. After my two trips to Vietnam and transfer to Japan I bought my first bike and since then and six bikes later etc etc. I can no longer ride but my last Harley Davidson project bike still sits in my garage. I reckon it's a reminder of better days. Your little one sounds like a biker in the works lol.
