So had three days of training with Grant, was very helpful. Learned a lot and made a life long friend.
just realized I didn't take or have many pictures of myself, so asked Grant to send me some. Here are a few that I have of the week.

Steve Morisette, me, Joe Case, Grant, Adam Remington

This thread is like an unending drum roll without a cymbal crash.
After the fundraising thing, the travel, shop time logged, and "I did it!" announcements, it's time to post some pics of what you made, Rev. Drinking beer is fine and all, but everyone knows what beer glasses look like.

Good looking pipes, btw. I can't wait to see more photos!
Visiting Grant really is a game changing event, isn't it?

Yeah Grant is really good, I hope I can implement everything I learned without him being there.
Brother is taking more pictures now. The bone white egg does not have a finished stem but I haven't had time to do that yet.
