Gents,
It's finally here. What is finally here you ask? Time to get off our duffs and carve a pipe! It's been bandied about for a few months and we've all come to a decision (read: I decided to make this thread
)
There aren't any rules per se...but some general guidelines
1. Go out in person or look online for a pipe kit that you like and buy it. No restrictions...only bounded by what you like and what your wallet can afford. This includes material...briar, meerschaum, olive, strawberry..even morta (of course, you'd probably need to own a bog first), whatever you like is good to use!
***If you want to get a kit at an insanely good deal, check out this thread. The really great deal is over 1/31/14, but there is still a slight discount available after that***
2. Carve it. Power tools are acceptable...hand tools would be preferred for it to be more challenging and rewarding. Also, there is no limit, you may carve more than 1 pipe if you choose.
3. Post progress reports/pictures/advice/requests for help here as often as you want.
4. The deadline for completion will be August 15th. This gives everyone over a month to procure a kit and then 6 solid months to carve.
5. After August 15th, we will all come to a consensus about which pipe(s) is/are the best and the winner(s) can have bragging rights! If we decide to offer gifts/prizes/rewards, we can agree to that at a later date.
GO!!!
