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.

hell, pipe number five don't look to bad either. im in the 30's now and im barely making things that surpass it.

Exceptionally nice, thanks for sharing with us.

I'll be too scared to show mine!

Shows what you can do when you Nurse talent along. lol... That pipe is magnificent!

I'm missing something. Did you improve?

J/K. Audrey II is freaking sweet!

I'll play and hope I don't embarrass myself.

This was my fourth pipe







This is a piece I finished for Chicago 2015.







This thread is gonna get pic heavy fast.

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

This thread is turning out to be awesome! Let's see 'em everyone.

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!

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.

Thanks for posting these pictures! Incredibly encouraging. Certainly a strong motivation for me to continue.

Sweet Pipes

Nice pipes everyone. Now go make 20 more.

P.S. I hate that phrase.

Then




Now

George, I think you got the pictures reversed.

I'll play.

Here is number 1

Here's one I finished today.

You're just jealous. But I understand. Not everyone can be an Adonis Model Hunk God.

Is there a most improved award at the end of this thread? I'm taking notes.
