Well I made it and it has been a fun journey. In those 1000 posts I've shared many experiences and stories with you and learned many knew things from you. I've came a long way since i joined and though i still have plenty to learn I am much more knowledgeable now then when i first took up pipe, so mission accomplished and thank you.
I wanted to do something special for my 1000th post but couldn't really think of anything so i will just post pics of my collection now. I have many pipes i am selling so I'm just posting my personal collection minus a few on there way still.
Starting with this Case. I bought this last night at Canadian Tire for 35$. It came with a strap, 2 keys, foam, wood dividers (one or the other), and it looks amazing. I bought this for the meet coming up on Sept 21,its a Pot luck BBQ meet we got going on.
GTA - Burner Swap Meet
I wanted to bring my Whole collection to share with my friends and this just seemed like the best(coolest) way to do it.

Thanks guys, Peck your pipes would look good in one or two of these and they come with locks all you need is handcuffs and a bodyguard and you got high tech security. But honestly I could have positioned the pipes better to fit more but ill buy thinner foam so I can put two layers of pipes when I get that many pipes.

Happy, early, birthday!
Congrats on 1000 buddy. Good luck with your antiquing. I'm not sure how far afield you're going but have you considered: http://www.aberfoyle-antiques.com/ The show goes every Sunday, there are also antique stores in Guelph and Rockwood.
Happy hunting. Yes, I am totally going to buy one of those cases. I'll spray paint mine so we don't get collections confused at the Burner Meet.

Congrats on the milestone post! :clap: That case, or one like it would be great for traveling to shows.

Start out with an empty one, though and fill it up at the show. :lol:

I have really enjoyed your virtual presence here these past several months, and look forward to many more.

Petes03 the cutty's is 50/50 right now the bowl is in pretty decent shape but that stem is completely shot and needs replacing. Ill have to find someone able to make a stem that minuscule. Lol

As previously stated, I'm going to get creative with a paint-job on mine. You'll be fine. Besides, I heard someone say something about stickers?

Congrats and happy birthday!
Love the case - those come in handy for so many oddly shaped things... cameras, microphones, now pipes.
