Raising the Bar
“Ancient Tools of the Trade”

Antiques they are, but also, a reminder of quality. They remind us of a period in time when engineers and constructors instantly recognized our work, even before looking for our name.

Far more accurate and powerful are the tools we use today with computers and associated piping software. And yet, even after two decades with the new tools there is still an element missing. When issues arise I often find myself saying, “Oh, it’s just the way the computer does it” But deep down, I know better.

It is not the tools ancient or modern that produce the quality. It is a mindset.

Our hats off to all the pipers who take that extra step towards making a drawing perfect. It is called the “spirit of excellence”.
