i have some things that i can make into a sick metal pipe bowl but the only problem is that when i bring the metal to a flame some black smoke comes out and the metal turns black but it rubs off, is this safe? I didnt think so but i heard in the pen homemade pipe thread that it is.
i have a homemade metal pipe made from a spare part from my drum set and it did that when i first started using it but went away quickly. It shouldnt be to bad for you though.
its the part on the high hat that you loosen so you can move the upper high hat closer or further away from the bottom one, i can send you a pic if you want. Edit: The symbal stand is an awesome idea. well if you still want to use it you should just McGiver it and tape a socket over the hole and then your safe.
hmm black smoke comes off it when you put a flame on it... I wonder if that is bad for you........ YA NO SHIT dude its probably some type of copper or something Burn a penny and the same thing will happen. Just remember that black smoke will be going into your lungs if you dont mind that then go for it i guess.
An easy way to make metal safer to smoke from is go find a friend, or go to the hardware store and buy a small propane torch. Hold your peice with a pair of pliers, and heat it with the torch. The torch burns hotter than a BIC lighter, or matches will, and burns out impurities and coatings. I had to do it to the brass bowl on one of my homemades, and now, no more fumes.. just sweet ganj.
Are you Fo real? I think metal is made out of uh.........metal (ore to be exact) but im no blacksmith, dont smoke out of that shit, metal from factories come with a silicone/oil based coating for corrosion, but you can if you want to be inhaling sulfur
