This pipe was a challenge to make a pipe a little faster. By working furiously I got it done in just over three hours. One huge time saving feature is the distress at the bend. That allowed me to forgo a lot of hand sanding in that area. My wife, Kate, has told me a number of times, "I like it, except for the distress." This would probably make a good starter pipe.
Personally I like it because of the distress.
ReplyDeleteThough I do not necessarily recommend intentionally distressing your work. That said there does seem to be something about the Japanese notion of wabi-sabi.
