    Vinyl Record Jackets Featuring Pipes

    My wife and I met our son for sushi lunch today. We had a few minutes to kill so we stopped in at a local Goodwill. I walked out with these bad boys for $1.49 each. Funny thing is I don't have anything to play them on. 🤪 Anyone else have vinyl records featuring pipes?

    3D Printer Pipe Stand

    My son made a pipe stand for me with his 3D printer. Nothing fancy, but it serves the purpose. Now, he's going to make a larger one because this one, as you can see in the pics, is a little tight. I'll use this one for straight stem pipes. I also suggested to extend the center column so the...
