[QUOTE="the rev, post: 250473, member: 2740"] Hundreds? most of these are thousands of dollars. As far as aesthetics... I am going to hold my pipe hundreds of times, I am going to be seen with it in public, and it is going to sit in my house, therefore I want it to in some way reflect me. When I make pipes for myself I tend to make them big, strong, simple but unusual for a pipe. This puts my personality into my pipe. It would sound that even in your clothing you are basically a pragmatist, so it would make sense that your desire is for a pipe to express that ideal. This of course doesn't make it impossible for you to appreciate these affectations, it just means they don't express you. When it comes to money, I too wind up in a weird spot. I am far from wealthy, and the money that we make we try to put back into our neighborhood and community. We live simply. So much so that I will not even pay for my tattoos with money from our budget, but only through money gifted for Christmas or birthdays. End result, if someday someone wanted to trade one of these amazing pipes for one of my paintings, or someday, if I get better, my own pipes I will own one otherwise I personally cant justify the expense. Not judging anyone else, that is my own ethics. rev [/QUOTE]
