2012 Pipe In the Hat Trade
Hey folks, it looks like PITH 2012 is underway!
First, a note: You do NOT have to be an experienced pipe-maker to join this, all skill levels are totally welcome here, this is a chance to have some fun!
Basically it goes as follows, we all make a pipe, and post a picture of our entry. Then, all the entrants names are thrown in a hat, and pulled randomly to form a list. The list is then posted. You send the pipe to the guy below you. Make the arrangements through the private messaging system, or mail, if you still like to write letters. The drawing will take place on February 3rd.
The pipe theme for this year is the Cavalier. You do not have to follow a classic template curve for curve, you can have some fun with this whilst maintaining the essence of the Cavalier family. (the airway extending below the bowl with a removable cap etc)
Any additional information I should add? Let me know.
A list of current contestants is as follows: (and is flexible until we do the drawing on February 3rd)
1. the rev
2. Massis
3. taharris
4. Alden
5. scotties22
6. mightysmurf8201
7. OregonCustom
8. The Smoking Yeti
9. UberHuberMan
10. mredmond
11. Ocelot55
12. MonsieurLabo

Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Come up with a theme and get it rolling!
Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Woooot!
PITH time!
Might I suggest the bent billiard, or if that is not challenging enough, perhaps the cavalier.

Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
I missed the last one due to a new baby and deployments. I've got the next few months with nothing going on so I am definitely in for this one!
Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Can we do anatomical body parts this year ? I'm totally making a face pipe with a vestigial third arm coming out of it if we do.
Please ???

Could we set the completion date for sometime in February, if that's cool with everybody? I have a seven pipe groomsmen set due early - mid January, and that's going to use up most of my available pipe making time until January.
I'm cool with any theme, I'll attempt to move my skills forward whatever it is.

"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"
well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin
"but what would be smoking to excess?"
Why smoking two pipes at once of course

Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Had to opt out last year, and I might have to opt out again this year depending on planning and resources (which are at an all time low at my place )
If I can find the time I'll definitely join though!

Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Cavalier sounds like a fun challenge. Would we want it to be a personal interpretation of a cavalier or would we want to aim as closely as possible to la original, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is this:
Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Ok, I'll do a cavalier....but seriously, vestigial arm for a shank ?? That would rock. I'm just saying.

If we go with an open interpretation, you could always make the extra bit beneath the bowl a vestigial arm.Alden wrote:Ok, I'll do a cavalier....but seriously, vestigial arm for a shank ?? That would rock. I'm just saying.
Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
I would love to see an open interpretation, that way we can get all crazy with it and shizzle

Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
I agree. Make it open to interpretation. If Walle gets in on this one I'd love to see what he comes up with!
Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Really hope Wally does one I love his kind of crazy

I'm in again. Little crazy around here, but I'll find some time to make one.
Not sure I want my hobby to turn into my job largely because I grow to hate my job....

Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
So it looks like we all like the cavalier idea
I'm no great shakes at organizing these things. would anyone else care to start an official thread for it?

Re: Pipe in the hat 2012?
Maybe Kurt or Tyler can make this a sticky.
For now lets just try to get a handle on who would like to participate. Suggested deadline (since I don't remember seeing another mention) end of February?
If anyone is interested why don't we mention it with a big "I'm in"
Me first:
I'M IN
