Live- schmive you mean metal lathes have changed since 1969 metal shop? Not asking ford to halt production to re-tool or anything, is it possible/practical???
Never took metal shop,, made my own CNC.. have 6 lathes ,, 3 metal lathes 3 pool cue lathes and A Bridgeport mill that needs new spindle bearings. I made rifle barrels too .
who hurt you? who said I am trying to get rich? Who said I am trying to go through retailers? Maybe lay off the pot and do something with yourself maybe you wont be so miserable lol. You made 2 comments on this post 3 hours apart - You seem very angry my friend, maybe your substance abuse is getting the best of you. I am simply trying to make a bong for myself so I can enjoy my hikes and rip a billy without worrying if I drop it. When I make it affordable and release it I will be sure to PM you.
Can't see the smoke ... I never made that statement .. I did say it needs to be glass.. Pretty much every materials that you can smoke out of expels toxic metals when heated besides glass. Most stoners are wanting the cleanest way to smoke . Hope that clears this up.
Seems there is company already making SS bongs. They are not back packing size ... Chill Steel Pipes Original Stainless Steel Bong
If it aint obvious, I know nothing about the tools/processes in todays mfg world & why I asked a simple yes/no question, Is it possible/practical? I know you have skills, that's why I asked you.
This is gonna be like pulling teeth I see. I figured you could do it, would it be practical/affordable to the little guy? I was wondering how much titanium costs & do you get it by the bar or what? Information is appreciated, sharing is caring. lol
Titanium Sheet / Plate (tmstitanium.com) I need to see a design/blue print before I can spec material costs
I think salvaging a titanium bicycle frame and making bong from it would work for making a half dozen bongs as long as you have a Tig welder . As of mass production and making new custom designed bongs . You need allot of projected orders .. personally I don't that many customers switching from glass to titanium. Even if your making bongs or pipes . Tig welders are a specialized piece of equipment and has to be operated in shop/garage. A bicycle frame factory is pretty much set up as tooling goes to make titanium bongs . There is also Hydro Forming would work great to use to make/form a bong or pipe , I can not deep hole drill bore solid Titanium on a lathe nor on my mill . It would have to be two pieces milled with a groove for the main airway inside the stem of the pipe . I think Titanium tubing is the only way to go. IF IT HAS TO BE TITANIUM .
Are Titanium in the same league as glass this is a small one used to be sold here https://www.grasscity.com/danglebong-titanium-water-pipe.html Titanium Is indestructible So it should last forever.
discontinued A slow sales . B not enough profit. C supplier stopped making them . D possible health risk . E all thee above is wrong including D Heath effects of Titanium Leave a Comment / Heavy Metal Toxicity, Toxic Substances / By Health Team Do you have titanium toxicity? Get yourself tested here. Titanium is not considered a toxic metal but it is a heavy metal and it does have serious negative health effects. This common heavy metal is all around us on a daily basis so its no surprise that many people are found to have high levels in their body causing serious health problems. Titanium has the ability to affect lung function causing lung diseases such as pleural disease, it can cause chest pain with tightness, breathing difficulties, coughing, irritation of the skin or eyes. Titanium is carcinogenic and may also cause cancer. Titanium is used in cosmetics including face and other powders, metal dental amalgams, medical industry such as medical equipment and implants or limb and joint replacements, jewelry and hardware equipment. Titanium is also used in manufacture associated with packing, milling and is used in the cleaning industry so titanium ends up in your food and water supply. Many metal products have titanium added to increase strength. Titanium oxide is added to many foods and supplements to make them appear white in color. So the real question is are you toxic with titanium?
I'd want the titanium bong to be 100% titanium, no other metals/plastics. 100% ti. Probably 8" tall and thin. As close to this as possible, but thinner (for easier storage to travel). Diffuser wouldn't be necessary, simple would be cheaper.
I have titanium in my jaw in the form of a dental implant. Going to get the crown on next week. The doctor says it will last my lifetime. Cyborg lives matter.
Hello, I get the struggle with fragile glass and outdoor activities—I once brought a glass piece camping and, well, let's just say it didn't survive. Stainless steel or titanium sounds like a game-changer for durability. As for price, affordability is key—maybe something like what you'd spend at a https://dankgeek.com/ without breaking the bank. I've had good experiences with places like DankGeek—they've got a range of options that could give you some ideas.
