I will add that @georged offered constructive criticism, something that any artist willing to learn should welcome.
Bingo. In the arts learning the rules before breaking them is actually a thing, and has been for centuries. Even that old fraud Picasso could have told the OP that.
Sorry I can’t see any guidance of an experienced craftsman. He’s shouting out dogmas. It’s the way he does his lectures on the op that aren’t constructive at all.
Actually I thought of Robert Franks film Pull my Daisy Ginsbergs poetry included.
Nice reference, and made in the year of my birth too; unfortunately all too obscure today.
My only issue with his post, which was my response, was he took a step further by offering a not perfect example as a perfect example.
The critique was fine. The following example made the whole thing fall apart, for me. It’s like an internet English major correcting someone’s faults while presenting a neer perfect example as perfect example.
I suspect the correct single oval required to match each of the curves of that horn pipe would’ve made the image impractically large for a compact diagram; I can forgive his use of multiple ovals in this instance—his point still comes across as intended, if not exactly literal.
The shape you made are generally called "Free hand" pipes.
I believe you are missing the point.
If you give me $120,000 for my Ferrari, but when you come to get it, its a Ford Focus, would it be ok?
It should, ive always called this car my Ferrari.......because its red.
For a moment I thought you were referring to @Sig's proposal to pass off a Ford Focus for a Ferrari.
Oh, my.
Go to bed, eat breakfast (I'm a night owl), switch on the ol' IMac, and the damn thing practically explodes.
I'm thrilled to be called a boar, however. I always thought I was medium-ugly. Now I know that at least somebody thinks I'm good lookin'. (even if it's a he, and he's on the other side of the Atlantic)
As for Mr. Fireground being bummed that the horn pipe example wasn't perfect because multiple blended curves were necessary to "map" it, that's not how it works.
As long as there are no kinks, flat spots, or blurred edges, and the design flows pleasantly to the eye, the number of curves "used" doesn't matter.

You misunderstood, of course he is an excellent expert, he proved it in many of his how to videos, but in this thread he is not of real guidance. As I said the tone makes the music. As skilful he might be, I wouldn’t choose that man as a teacher.
No. I’m not buying it. Or potentially I’m missing a nuance.
What I’m getting now is, if George would’ve phrased things better, his example would’ve been more valuable.
We’re talking about a pipe that is not a billiard, there’s only so many ways to discuss that. Or so I thought.
That is probably the first time you’ve got a like from me because at least I detected a sort of humour. Greetings from „he“ on the other side of the Atlantic.Oh, my.

Again, we all have our tolerances and excuses. Something is perfect or it is not perfect.Oh, my.

Pleasing to the eye is not technical perfection, which is the discussion here.
At the highest levels, "pleasing flow" indeed requires technical perfection.
It's why the top Danish and Japanese carvers spend weeks fine-tuning their work.
I somehow feel the need to opine.
If that’s a billiard, I’m a a speckled grouse.
It’s a pipe. Just call it a freehand, take the offered advice and name it something else.
Other than that, I don’t think you know, whimsy or not, the traditional meaning of billiard.
