2010-2011 Pipe In The Hat trade

[wdteipen]

Sounds like fun. I have a couple ideas already. Count me in.

Awesome! Looks like we have a good sized group. Is everyone okay with January 31 end date? If so, we'll run the end like this:
- post pictures of your finished pipe by Jan 31
- I'll put the names of everyone in a hat
- one of my kids will draw the names to establish the order of the exchange
- everyone sends their pipe to the next name in the list
- the last person sends their pipe to the first on the list
- PM each other to get addresses and send your pipes on their way

Keep in mind, this is a permanent exchange, so smoke it, love it, enjoy! Contact the maker who's pipe you received and provide good, honest feedback on how the pipe could be improved - if it could be improved upon.

Besides that, have fun with this thing. Post updates, questions, or just plain insanity.

Those dates and that plan work for me. Since this is modeled after Mr. Wallenstein's pipes I dropped the "kit" option and just ordered everthying necessary for a completely handmade stummel, but did order a pre-fab stem to make due. Definitely gonna bea fun venture!

Since it is our esteemed Maestro Wallenstein i would also gladly participate in this well thought homage.
I will carve me a pipe in some of my old olive wood and leave the rest to destiny and Kurt's hat .

Best,
Abi

I'm in. I'm looking forward to trying something completely different.

Count me in......... I have been looking for a reason to get back into the shop...... Now I just need to get it moved to the new place.

[t-bear]

WTH...I'll give it a try.

[Mike Messer]

Copy Wallenstein? It ain't posible.
M.M.

[KurtHuhn]

Not copy - "pay homage to", or "construct in the style of". And if you can get Todd or Rad to call you insane - all the better.

And if you can get Todd or Rad to call you insane - all the better.

My wife asks me if I'm insane all the time, does that count for anything?

[bandkbrooks]

She and my wife must attend the same spouse support group.

I am going to have to bow out, i will not be able to complete a pipe in time for this PITHT, i got a new job and am on call 24/7. My life is just way too hectic right now and im sorry. Maybe next year!
Cheers

[monkeykoder]

I would love to be in on this but no one wants a rush job and until my bandsaw comes in I only have about 2 days to finish a pipe between now and the end of the year.

[buster]

Can I still participate? If so then I'm in.

[MadTinker]

O.K. I am in, beware I am a Newbie...lol

[dano_kan]

I terrifyingly throw one in. Game on.

[mredmond]

I'm in! Sorry for the delayed response. I've been using Tapatalk on my iPhone to check the forum for the past few months and it didn't show me this thread. I've been wondering when the PITH was going to happen. It's probably user error that I missed the thread. This should be lots of fun.

Here are a couple of Potentials. Still need to do some Fine Sanding in some spots. Cannot decide which one to let go....

[SWM]

Looks like this will serve as a general creativity boost!

[Abi Natur]

Yes indeed it will !
