I see others mentioning Instagram, possibly from a Social Media Platform perspective, which is certainly understandable for not wanting to be involved.
But, if anyone is a Pipe Lover, and occasionally adds to the PAD, Instagram has certainly helped me, with the easy access to seeing a lot of carvers around the world.
Just go to the Search and type in Briar Pipes, as an example, and other such search words/patterns...
I’ve personally not seen any other platforms/places/sites out there, with the easiest access, to probably the biggest listing anywhere online.
For any pipe enthusiasts, I would seriously have an Instagram account, so you have easy access to the world of carvers out there, otherwise, you’re seriously missing out.
I’m not trying to blow my own horn here, I’m only expressing my background is in computer tech, and I seriously believe there is no other platform out there online with this big of a listing of pipes and cavers online, all in one place.
Just remember, you can have an account, but it doesn’t mean you need to participate. You just create the account with no posts, so you can simply access Instagram is all.
