My apology ,the experts pipe

[warren]

Accept or not, you asked, specifically, fittings and style. I answered. You are quite welcome, I think.

 

[epsilon2]

Thank you Cosmic !

You are right

 

[epsilon2]

Bad reputesion is also a reputation.

I will not bother you again.

Greetings from Rhodes and Apollo bless

Starcat and Haja finally sent the third wise man to visit our crèche.

Come on guys, he may be the next JT Cooke. I know he is a little surly, but creative people don't always march to the same beat as the rest of us. Maybe, I am just used to talking with artists who spit on the floors during conversation, ha ha. But, he is no Starcat. Heck, at least we understood his question somewhat, and he hasn't emailed anyone about rubbing sand on their genitals, so... he is off to a better start. ::

 

[echie]

at least (...) he hasn't emailed anyone about rubbing sand on their genitals

That's rather a low standard :mrgreen:

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Epsilon, maybe checkout the pipemakers forum. They are a surly bunch also, but at least you would be hitting your target audience for your particular question.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Echie, ha ha... you have to draw the line somewhere.

 

[ophiuchus]

I kinda like the pipe. I find the rest of the dicking around off-putting.
:nana:

 

[epsilon2]

I do check pipemakers forum the last years

Everyone critisise everyone.

Sandal is a great man.

I do not like standards,mechanics are importend but all others on a pipe is

a theme translated different to every maker.

I m a great fun of Wallenstein, of Wolfsteiner,of Uwe Mayer of Abi Natur.

Execuse me for my bad English

 

[warren]

Good advice Cosmic. I also agree, there's the scent of sincerity in the post. English is perhaps a second language. My goofiness antennae are usually pretty good.

 

[northernneil]

Epsilon2, I like the pipe. I would love to see a picture once finished.
I assume you will bend the mouthpiece once drilled and finished?

 

[toobfreak]

Man, this is hard! I didn't know there would be tests.
I think he is implying that pipes are way overpriced and a rip off. But my answer to that is it depends on what the market will bear (and what market you are in), the level of craftsmanship (got a way to go) and you have to turn a profit for all your hours of labor, otherwise, why do it? Poverty? Then there is mark-up selling wholesale, finding an importer to buy your pipes and advertise, etc., Everybody's got to make some money.
Anything is MUCH cheaper if you can do it yourself.
Or maybe I just totally missed the point.

 

[epsilon2]

Of course i will bend the stem

Toobfreek you are right .

I just dont accept to be indipended from

some computer freeks

Im doing my hobie,my passion,i invested time of my life,some guys think they are Prophets and high intiligent.

 

[lohengrin]

When your aim is a statement or an outburst you can use random words and images.

When your aim is communication you need words and images as clear as possible.

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

Yeah, some things get lost in translation. Anyone want to volunteer to do proofreading and make suggestions/corrections?
If you were to use Bamboo for the shank, eliminate the accent rings, and make a short tapered stem in blue acrylic I might like it a lot more. Let's see pictures when it's finished.

 

[mortonbriar]

My main concern would be that the bit has no hole in the end, this seems cruel, like gluing closed a balloon and giving it to a child to blow up... :nana:
I like your texturing!
Isaac

 

[ssjones]

DON'T bend the stem, but DO post a picture when finished. My opinion.

 

[jackswilling]

As I recall you have put up a couple pipes for us to see and comment. I like your asthetic. If you are Greek your English is good. But idioms, especially in English are tricky things for second language folks.
