Lee,

I have tried to be patient with you through this. After:

1. driving out to meet you and being stood up,
2. being repeatedly lied to (there are enough examples in this post and my PM's of "they are finished,....they are not...I can't be bothered cutting and pasting)
3. having my plans screwed up for a long time

It is getting increasingly difficult to stay patient as this drags on. There is now a #4 to add to my list. That is the fact that according to your excuses, your situation makes pipe making as difficult as shaving a tree down to a toothpick using a butterknife. Meanwhile in other threads, you are busy making other pipes and are selling more piping to other people. This is with the time and tools that you aren't supposed to have. To sum up my #4 problem, it seems as though the people who have already paid their money get a much much much lower priority than people who still have money to give. That is bad.

I just hope these things arrive soon and this can all be cleared up.
