***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

Pen sure looks good, SB. Did you assemble it by yourself? I would imagine an extra set of hands would be helpful.

The shade structure and four panels on the left which are secured to posts inset in concrete I’d done a couple weeks ago solo, but I had mama questioning plan and watching helping on the last four panels and tying them in to paddock.
All kidding aside, she was helpful in keeping Gracie and Bob from bolting through openings of convenience to get at the Bermuda

Nice pipe, IMO, pipes always look better with silver

I agree.. usually.
As much as I like silver on pipes, gold can be distracting and not as pleasing (to me).
I tend to avoid other, cheaper, metals in silvers place (aluminum, copper, stainless, etc).
Titanium (or even more precious materials like platinum or palladium) are acceptable, but much less frequently used.

I’d like to see someone make some bands or an army mount from zirconium.
Zirconium is my absolute favorite ornamental metal!

Yes, silver or gold, I don't care for other metals.

Would have to say that silver is my overall favorite, as well.
Although, one metal that I did not previously think would look that good, I now really like.
Bruno Nutten uses copper on some of his Bings and other pipes and I like the look of them:

I believe the "no smoking" is in reference to the equipment. Shut it down if it's smoking, a warning for the amateur technician
