When I first started smoking (and collecting rough 'n ready vintage American pipes) I needed a pipe rack, and thought that, engineering-wise, it should hang the pipes bowls down. That way, if there was any schmutz or goo in the airway, it would settle in the bowl, rather than near the button. That's a good point, but inconsequential because of good pipe hygiene = adequate pipe cleaners. A rack can be much simpler if the bowls hang up, and in our earthquake-prone Pacific Northwest, a little rumbling won't knock them to the floor, either. Had to use the GoPro, thus the fisheye thing.
