What's up everyone? I've been a lurker on this forum for a while now but I figured now that my design for a homemade Peyote Pillar is done, I'd do a write-up about it! DIY Peyote Pillar | SMITT FACED It's not perfect but I think for a homemade it's pretty damn good. Completely dis-assembleable[?] and no glue used at all! Enjoy!
damn dude.... thats almost identical to my home made peyote.... graet job i use voss bottles and a little more SS, but damn its cool to see someone who i can see has some mechanical skills.... aint it a bitch to get all the pillars seated in the gaskets? check out my homemade threads, all sorts of rubber grommet homemades... im sure you could learn a thing or two about other designs, looks like you got the peyote on lock though. heres my internals.... showerhead or perc.... and the tube itself, havent posted a pic in awhile, but i cut the bottom grey wall in half to show more of the straw chamber. http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=855378&d=1333955960 http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=855379&d=1333955960 http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=855380&d=1333955960
Man it's such a bitch to fit the ss pipes in the last 3 or 4 grommets haha! And TBH I was browsing the DIY/Homemade section a few months ago while still in school and read through your entire thread! I'm subscribed to one of them too! Some of your creations got me thinking that this is something up my alley mechanically, and financially if you know what I mean You've got mad skills and I just wish more people would take the time and effort to put out some more "factory" homemades', it's a little disappointing to see more and more hot-glue tin-foil Gatorade messes ya know?
right, if video killed the radio star, hot glue killed the homemades.... but ive almost hit a wall, i can make almost any diffusion setup now so its hard to progress, only think im bouncing around in my head is a glass stem into the homemades. On my peyote, i cant get it to breathe well enough to be happy. or it might be cause i got the glass piece i originally tried to copy but keep it up man, to me designing a piece is easy, finding/making the pieces to make it air tight and work is the hard part. Alot of the pieces i make wouldnt be possible without the perfect combination of bottles.... if you can get your hands on voss, its the better bottle, so much stiffer and the caps create a seal and better yet a flat surface...
Definitely noted on the VOSS bottles. So do you have a link to the glass piece you got? Because if it's the one I modeled after...thats a serious cheddar $andwich haha
not a peyote pillar, thats for sure.... this is what i got as far as glass syn tall showerhead and a toro circ trashcathcer
I was gonna say man if you had $1500 to spend on a pillar you must be livin' the good life! I this what you've got there is great I'm a fan of clean-looking setups
Here's the link to the How-To I've written up for this homemade Peyote Pillar. http://smittfaced.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/how-to-peyote-pillar/ I'll create a new thread on here containing the post if it gets enough interest/traffic from you guys!
[quote name='"Legal Eyes"']why do they call it peyote pillar?.. i see no resemblace... looks cool though for sure[/quote] I'm actually not sure, I just know that's what the glass one is called so I figured I'd stick to that
