2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
If I could afford to live there and have medical benefts Id do it in a minute, The opportunity for me to learn the trade and help you grow the business would be my dream job. Not many people are doing what they are passionate about. You're a lucky man. If you are serious we can chat at the meetup.
I like the idea of a real pipe making school where all topics are covered. Guest speakers. People would pay 500.00/week and maybe have 5 sessions,

It's not an easy thing to pick up and move from Texas to Ohio, although not impossible, especially at this juncture of my life.
Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
Jesse, if nothing else, get some shop time in with Premal and Bill. It won't make your pipes worse, that's for sure.

Re:
I am very serious, and have been speaking with a few people, but nothing is finalized yet. I do not think I could afford you Bob. Pipe making is not a lucrative business and it is hard to support a family by making pipes. I am always open to talking about it. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks. This meetup is going to rock.BobR wrote:If I could afford to live there and have medical benefts Id do it in a minute, The opportunity for me to learn the trade and help you grow the business would be my dream job.

I think there are a few people that do have a pipe school like thing going on - Tim West, and a few others, but they charge $500+ per day which is a bargain.

Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
y'all need to move to VT and create the pipe making epicenter here. Who doesn't love VT?
hopefully I can make it next year to the meetup, even though it's in Ohio

Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
My vote is for the epicenter to be located somewhere warm. I'm over this Indiana winter. We should all crash Walt's house.

Honestly Jesse, Columbus is pretty damn cool. A whole lot bigger than Canyon, but I think you could get used to it. Go check it out some time.Ocelot55 wrote:You're not helping, George!LatakiaLover wrote:

Also, Premal is a hell of a good guy if you don't know him that well.

Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup
I don't know if anyone cares, but I found some decent rates at the Red Roof Fairgrounds. It is about 10 minutes from the shop. I usually look for low end places since I am not interested in the pool, laundry, exercise room, conference room, blah blah blah. 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.

Does that make OSU a juggernaut? Which is different than an astronaut. But he is right. Ohio is too flat.PremalChheda wrote:I have to disagree. Have you seend the jugs on OSU students?BigCasino wrote:The only thing about Ohio is It's too damn flat! Flatlanders!!
