"Influence" might be too soft a word to describe how close those are. There's a LOT of Walle in those pipes for sure. Congrats to Walle for being copied so extensively. It's an honor and an annoyance. But Ocelot is right, Walle is the best at Walle pipes.

Fabulous looking pipes but I'm not understanding his proclaimed approach as improvisations of "fourneau-tige-tuyau" (translated as stove-pipe-stem). Probably because my French is entirely too literal.

Thanks for posting those, though; they're new to me.

When I look at the gallery I keep getting that Sesame Street song stuck in my head...

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others By the time I finish my song?

Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others, Then you're absolutely...right!

It just doesn't belong with ANY of the other pipes in the gallery.

Still, impressive work. /hattip

"A Walle influence do you think??"

The truth is:
This miserable competitor started pipe-making many years before Walle did.
His influence on Walle has been - and still is - much bigger than vice versa, I'm afraid.
I'm the proud owner of a couple of "pacifiers" he made.
Yes, he's the guy who's really crazy.
For that I admire him a lot.
Thank God he's a dear friend of mine, too.

Cheerio!
Walle

That's correct, Edward; he uses his broom for transportation ...

Or he's sitting on his balcony enjoying a smoke:
