Then and Now
I thought it would be fun to show a then and now pipe for the guys just starting out. Persistence can pay off. This first pipe is my fifth pipe made back in 2008:
And here's my latest pipe:
It's not perfect but I'd say it's a little better than pipe number 5.

Re: Then and Now
Okay, I'll play I didn't even remember this pipe until I started looking through pictures from about this time two years ago. This one is either number 4 or 5...not sure.
And here is the last "Scottie" I just finished.
My, what a difference a few years and 90 pipes make

Mine is worse than yours. I've got to get home and find it. I buried it somewhere in a nook in a closet somewhere so I don't have to have the painful reminder.scotties22 wrote:Well no one's and I mean NO ONE'S could possibly be any worse than mine. So, like Wayne said, let's see 'em!
