OK, why can't I see the pics - did you guys lock me out during my brief hiatus?

Holy crap on a popsickle stick! It's Peck! :clap: Welcome back!

Brief?? It's been years since you posted. Welcome back.
Photofucket pulled a fast one and wants everyone to pay a King's ransom to see their pix. Apparently they let photos show for some part of a day, then lock them out. Bastards!
Why I am now a fan of using the album on this site, or Imgur or postimage.

Thanks for those lucky to see them.
I'll switch to Imgur when I get home tonight. F@€£ Photobucket!!!

Brief? Who are you and how did you get on this forum?
Introduce yourself. Do you have any good pipes. Do you cellar tobacco for future enjoyment? You know, just general info about yourself.
And welcome to the forum!

WOW. Amazing set of pipes and stand.

Now that I have a minute.... I'll explain how this set came to be. I discussed this project with Ryan at the WCPS and then around January 1 of this year made the decision to get a seven day set. As the process evolved I then asked if he could make a stand and then it evolved into an eight day set. It's unique and probably a little weird, but hey, so am I.
The parameters I gave Ryan were that they would all be straight pipes, my smoking preference. They would all be between 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 inches long. They would be the classic shapes. Billiard, Pot, Bulldog, Apple, Lovat, etc. They all shipped today so I'll update this thread with IMGUR pictures instead of the now hated PhotoBucket.
I'm a true idiot savant as in I had no idea how much time and effort would go into this set. I'm good at what I do, and not much else.
Ryan is very easy to work with, a true professional and has mad skills to boot.
Thank you very much Ryan for making this come true!!

Nice stuff!!Now that you don't need your meers anymore... :evil:

The pleasure was all mine Tim ! If it makes you feel better, I also had no idea how much work was involved ! This is the first real pipe rack I have made. I see now, I need a whole second shop just for this kind of work. I had to beg, borrow and engineer a few tools to get the job done. Lucky me, I have a neighbor with a well tooled carpentry shop !

Those are fantastic and I love the different bowl sizes. Very nice and congratulations.

 

[fnord]

Congratulations to you both.

Absolutely beautiful. That's an heirloom set if I ever saw one. Looks like you got rid of the Oom Paul bug!

 

[disinformatique]

Cant see the pics Tim, can you please host them on Imgur?

 

[JimInks]

Wonderful pipes. A life time of enjoyment awaits you.
