Billiard

Maybe the "companion piece to the blog post" thing is getting old. Truth be told, it's the other way around, I made a Billiard and thought, maybe THE most ubiquitous pipe shape is worth a blog post.
 
Anyway, here's a Billiard that follows the rules. 
 
FWIW: I make the buttons on my pipes relatively prominent because I, and some others, like them that way. For some, my buttons are too tall. The good news is, I can easily convert the former button to the latter, it's the work of a moment and I don't mind at all. The reverse, not so much. So, if you like less prominent buttons, let me know, and the pipe will so arrive.
