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.1000000701.jpg

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.

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.
