BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

My jealousy begins
So I'm just a curious guy, how much of the pipe price comes from the material cost? And how much is the labor/ time component.
I certainly don't mean to offend........and I think the cost is quite fair ... But curiosity gets the best of me

Awesome. I'm actually really happy to hear that. It's so clean and sleek as it is without something else making it busy.
From the pics I think I'm getting a hell of a deal
I totally agree and can't wait to see the finished product
So people understand a little, the material cost on pipes depends upon the quality of material used. The higher grade materials the higher the price, just as the finish determines the cost too. Smooth versus blasted. Where the briar was obtained. Vulcanite vs. acrylic. Lots of things add to the cost. But the labor side is going to be higher due to the time to drill, shape, sand, finish, etc.
Having said that, I am sure Cody is not making that much on each of these pipes. The materials look top notch as does the briar. This a labor of love that Cody is doing for his/our community. I know we are all so blessed to have this opportunity to have a treasure such as this.

Is there a projected date that we need to be paid up by?
You just need to pay in full before your pipe ships.
Wow...the pipe looks amazing! The stem design looks so freaking cool! Nice!!!

The only thing I would consider is possibly a lesser degree angle on the base, but I don't know how the balance is currently. Is that even a possibility, or would that make it too tippy?
I agree with Clint. Might be better to lesson the slant
