Just A Friendly Reminder. Keep Your Boxes!

[anthonyrosenthal74]

So I found myself cleaning up one of my pipe shelves, which was a terrible hot mess. And since one of my bookshelves was also a terrible hot mess, I cleaned that up as well. There was more junk, and papers, and dust then there were books! Well I ran out of rack space a long time ago and a number of my pipes were just sitting in a half-hazzard pile. Some, I nearly knocked off the shelf the day before. This is totally not how I like to treat my pipes, but I suppose I got a little lazy. I found myself in a pickle with a bunch of pipes without a home. So, I cleaned the bookshelf, grabbed some pipe boxes that were laying around in the hot mess with the pipes, and transfered the boxes and the pipes to the bookshelf. I've used a pipe box as a stand in the past, but never on a scale such as this. I think it turned out looking quite nice! Just a public service announcement, the pipe box makes a decent enough stand in a pinch.

Always in support of clever repurposing.

looking at the book shelf, you need to read more fantasy stuff. Sword and sorrcery style specifically. Too much reality up there. And that ain't good for a person.

Wheel of time is such a great series. I need to revisit that world soon. Nice setup!

Looks good! Great idea. Empty boxes take up too much space, and this is a good way to put them to use.

 

[Waning Embers]

Easier solution.

One can't go wrong with more Brandon Sanderson. One could go broke, tho. I think there are now more Cosmere books than Wheel of Time books.

I have never read any of them despite the recommendation. There aren't too many books too read, there are too few hours in a life to get through all the good ones.

I tend to find long lost and forgotten pipes when looking through old pipe boxes. I just recently found a Stanwell Facet pipe in "like new" condition that I totally forgot about.
Ive never liked the pipe and only smoked it maybe 5 times.
I really need to sell off a bunch of pipes.
Any Stanwell fans out there?

That's why I never keep pipes in thier boxes. I'd forget about them.
