Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
You guys are going about it all wrong.
I just submitted a couple paragraph's explanation of Premal's event to the International Pipe Repairman's Guild to establish a professional connection, and they phoned back within 24 hours to say, "Looks legit. We gotcha. A limo will pick you up at your house, take you to the KC downtown airport to a Gulfstream for the jump, and another limo in Columbus will take you to the Hyatt Regency. You've been booked into the top-floor crown suite for as long as you like. The rooms have a specialty kitchen staff, masseuse, etc. Travel to and from Mr. Chheda's shop will also be by limo, of course. In addition, a grant of one million dollars US has been awarded for your personal use and to cover any incidental expenses. Have a nice trip"
I'm tellin' ya guys... the IPRG kicks ass. I can't believe there isn't a carver's equivalent.
Tyler, get on that shit. You're tapped into Big Oil these days, right?

Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
That's rich George. My truck is black and it has back doors with windows that are tinted. Does that make it a limo? The only problem is I have to ride in the front seat. If you need a ride while we are there, I will let you ride in the back. That way you'll get the feeling of a limo.LatakiaLover wrote:You guys are going about it all wrong.

I wonder if they have a bar to hang out in?taharris wrote:The Red Roof Inn looks good to me.

And I have stayed in too many expensive places that deliver one star service for five star prices. The Days Inn looked a little too rough around the edges though, so I upgraded to 1 1/2 stars.

Oh sweet. So you're covering all the carver's expenses then? Should be a drop in the bucket of your per diem.

The only problem is that smoking of any kind is forbidden in all Columbus bars.

I made posts on the two forums I hang out in, and a bunch of face book groups.PremalChheda wrote:I cannot really blast forums with the event because of being a merchant, but that does not apply to people attending.

I have a lot of maybe's and reserves on the J. Alan Design tools. If you want to reserve any, please go to this link and checkout using the (pay by check option). It will help me tremendously to make sure I have enough stock for everyone before the show.

Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
Yes, but you might as well use a spade bit or silver deming if you are drilling first. They are a lot less expensive.BobR wrote:Premal, can the spoon bits be chucked in a drill press?
