The thing that I have a hard time with about a lot of the pipes I see in this forum is…how can anyone in their right mind take a match to such beautiful pieces of art. It would be like using Van Gogh’s Starry Night…or…Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa for cigarette paper! If I had a pipe like that, or many of the others I’ve seen, I’d never smoke it and it would be on a special table surrounded in a glass bubble so I could just look at it each day!WCannoy wrote:pipeguy wrote:Walt, What r u gluing in place???? more pics

Clamping an unusual angle...
Re: Clamping an unusual angle...
Re: Clamping an unusual angle...
There are a few pipes that I made back in the day which, as far as I know, were never smoked, and it kinda makes me a little sad. I kinda feel like the pipe is not truly finished or complete until it is being enjoyed. To me, smoking a pipe for the first time is like hanging that Mona Lisa or Starry Night on the wall to be seen. For the pipe to remain unsmoked is like hiding those paintings in a warehouse...Duane wrote:The thing that I have a hard time with about a lot of the pipes I see in this forum is…how can anyone in their right mind take a match to such beautiful pieces of art.

Agree 10000%.

Re: Clamping an unusual angle...
Yeah...I think you are probably right....I'm just not used to "functional" art!
I'm learning a lot at this site....how to use my computer to download pictures, how to understand functional art, and how to make pipes. hahaha!

"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: Clamping an unusual angle...
Man, that blast is totally strange- in a good way!
Is it a Cav? Or is that not a well on the bottom?

Re: Clamping an unusual angle...
Oh man, Yeti, I only wish the photos could show what the blast really looks like in person. I feel like the essence of the texture is really lost in the pics. This blast has quickly become my favorite of all pipe finishes ever!The Smoking Yeti wrote:Man, that blast is totally strange- in a good way!

This particular pipe is not a cav. Just a bent with normal bent engineering and the shank extended down to make a foot.

That wagon was the coolest thing I've ever seen!

I just discovered that one of my old pipes has gone unfinished (in the context of this conversation)...

I'm so sad for that pipe which has not yet realised its purpose...
