Is it really [i]that[/i] hard to get alcohol?

No, but this is cooler, and in the long run, cheaper.

But not nearly as tasty.

Yes, not as tasty as cheap vodka.

Wow, that was the coolest homemade bass I've seen.

[QUOTE=Crack-Rock-Steady]Wow, that was the coolest homemade bass I've seen.[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure that's the coolest homemade anything I've ever seen.

Yeah, the only thing I'm wondering is if it still sounds good without the pickup. I mean, I do have a pickup for an upright bass already, but with an awesome instrument like that, I'd probably want to use it acousticly (like playing on street corners with friends).

It is really cool. I'm sure that when I show the video to my dad he'll help me make it.

Here's my homemade hookah. It hits great.

We got a vase at goodwill and stuck a cork in it, punched 3 holes in the cork, stuck this weird funnel used to pour wine into bottles into one of the holes, put two segments of stainless steel piping into the other two holes, and attached plastic tubing to the steel pipes.

That's awesome. Nice job.

Lol, a guy got mad at me on a cannabis forum for smoking weed out of a hookah instead of flavored tobacco. I told him I chewed bubble gum while I toked it and that made him especially mad.

Awesome. Hey, could you write a proper instruction-post on how to make one of those? It sounds awesome.

So I've been using spray paint for all my stencils up to this point but I"m think of swithching over to fabric paint but the only thing I don't know is how well will it show up on black fabric?

Will it be as bright, or will it be blended in like spray paint gets?

i almost always use white on black with fabric paint. just it needs a couple of layers before it wont see through.

What colours should I use to make stencils for a camo jacket?

I want a big Johnny Thunders one, for starters. I'll probably use this image (but without the text, that was just the first version of it I found):

No idea what colours to use to make it stand out on the camo though..

It's pretty much all there in my first post. Should I make a diagram or something?

EDIT: Here:

Materials:
Vase or other large class vessel
Cork
Something for the bowl (we found an oddly-shaped metal funnel at Goodwill)
Two stainless steel pipes
Two segments of vinyl tubing
Marywanna

Avoid using plastics, copper, aluminum, or other cheap metals. My friend and I actually argued for a while about whether that vinyl tubing was okay to use. I would have preferred some stainless steel braided tubing but eventually gave in due to the cost, and the fact that only cooled smoke would be passing through them. Glass is the best possible material for any part.

These should all be easy to find, the only places we went for this were goodwill and the hardware store, so you should be able to build one wherever you live. I believe the total cost came to about ten dollars (except for that nice 1/8th of purple haze ;)).

That's a very large cork. It looks real good by the way. I'd love to have something like that, but it's difficult to conceal.

Yeah, we're keeping it in a chest in the woods.

just steal some stuff from chem lab. believe me it is worth it to have a pyrex beaker, a stopper, and a few straws

Well, I was really thinking about that last year when I had chemistry. You and your lab partner have a designated drawer with all the stuff you use (except chemicals) in it. There was a time when the people next to us weren't there, so potentially I could have taken an erlenmeyer flask. I wish I had.

Florence flasks though, if you've seen them, are so perfect for bongs. They literally are bongs, except without a hole drilled for a bowl.

yeah but they are incredibly expensive to buy. we just grabbed an erlenmyer and we also grabbed a metal peice. luckily there was no camera in the room and w just pushed it in our bags while our pot smoking teacher was not looking. i am sure he would have figured what we were doing if we had gotten caught.

Would he have cared?

That'll look cool. Johnny Thunders is awesome.

Don't people know that a hookah is just a fancy water bong? with tubes.

Actually a proper hookah uses charcoal to keep the tobacco lit, and the advantage to mine is that my friend and I can get high in half the time because we can take simultaneous hits.
