I was wondering when if you are going to have another meetup for the Indiana Pipe Club. I would be interested in joining.

Just now noticed this thread.

I encourage anyone who might be undecided about making the drive, taking the time, or anything like that to attend one of these meetings, to definitely go for it.

There is a lot of quality pipe related Stuff happening in that neck of the woods, the region has a great history of clubs and shows, and NateKP is a world class pipe carver of long-established reputation who also happens to be a hella nice guy.

That is an awesome looking pipe.

That is an awesome looking pipe.

Nate made that 10-12 years ago.

It's big---around 8" long---and the assorted metal parts are TITANIUM.

As in, formed/maipulated/machined by hand for the pipe. He didn't find some titanium odds & ends and carve a pipe to fit them, in other words.

Why is that significant? Because fabricating titanium makes stainless steel look like putty in comparison. It's 100% impossible to do except by magicians (and a few defense contractors here and there).

How & why did Nate decide to make such a magnificent thing---that pipe is called the Streamliner, btw---is because he spent years as an Indy race car team member, and those astronaut-grade crazy guys like to do shit like that.
