pipe in the hat trade?

[Joe Hinkle Pipes]

I was thinking the same thing. I pmEd my recepiant and haven't recieved a response. Maybe we should give them a week to respond, and if they don't respond eliminate them from the list.

Got your PM, I am sorry I didn't respond. My post in this thread wasn't really a 'yes' and I think it was misinterpreted. I just said "what if I get attached to it?" I never said that I was definitely in. I have been extremely busy since then, and this is pretty much the first time i've visited the forum since them. I am so sorry, and I hope I didn't mess anything up. I bet I missed out on something great, so I am pretty sad about that, but I am sorry for the confusion.

[Joe Hinkle Pipes]

That's ok, thanks for the quick response. It's not a problem if you let us known you are out Its the "wafflers", as trevor called the in another post, that will hold things up. I assume i will be shipping to the person after you on the list?

In the interest of solidarity, when we receive a pipe and smoke it, would we rather reviews be given publicly or just to the creator via pm?

I'd say if a person would prefer non-public review they could make their individual requests for such. Me personally, I prefer public. I know i'm a noob, i know i have a LOT of room for improvement. The thing i like most about this forum is that we all get to learn from each others mistakes and triumphs. I say bring on the truth so that others can learn from me as well.

Since the list still seems to be in a state of flux, maybe we should let it "simmer" for a week while we make sure nobody gets screwed out of a pipe.

Thoughts?

a week from the completion deadline? or a week from the Saturday after the completion date? It's been a week since the original deadline and I have not heard back from the person below me, should I wait longer or go down the list to the next person?

I strongly recommend that next year we all submit pictures by the deadline and then we know who is in or who is out.

[KurtHuhn]

A week from my post on Saturday. That way we've got a good amount of time to get the list shaken down.

That's a hard stop, BTW. If you're not heard from by this coming Saturday 2012.03.31, you'll get skipped over.

[Vermont Freehand]

well, 'pereu' never contacted me or his recipient, so I am going to skip him and send to eric.

[Archer]

JoS, and Mr. Redmond have been in contact with me, and for the previously mentioned reasons theres no way in hell I can participate...I appreciate Redmond for giving me the opportunity to get one done though...JoS hopefully by now has sent his on down the line.

Sorry men.

Last I heard, archaggelosmichail was out.

Todd

[taharris]

Man up! Or as my oldest daughter says, "Nut up!!!".

I will make my contribution with nothing but a dremel and a drill pres to level the playing field. Everyone feel better?

Get it! Do it ! Make it!

Kurt, thats one hell of a pipe especially since you only used a dremel tool and a drill press.

I'm impressed.

Sorry, I'm out...

My main job is falling apart and I have to work much more...

I confess. I also used the sandblaster, sandpaper, and a buffer. Not that I would really want to do that on a regular basis, but this shows that it can be done.

[taharris]

My hat's off to you Kurt. I thought you had forgotten and used your lathe.

Nicely done.

Todd

[KurtHuhn]

You just gotta BELIEVE in yourself! Most tools only make the work happen faster, and don't really make any work or another possible.
