Homemade pieces?

Discussion in 'DIY and Homemade' started by Openended, Dec 25, 2011.

  1. What are some easy homemade pieces to make?
     
  2. Oh yeah, also... I'm having a problem with using tin foil to act as a screen for the bottom of my bowl, I can't keep it in there... any suggestions? I'm using like one of those wrench heads, you know?

  4. I really like using the screw-driver thing as a bowl though D: anything else I could do? Tinfoil just sucks. Thanks :D
     
  5. Copied from another post of mine:

    Well, if you're looking for something temporary and homemade, I have used these a lot when I am in an absolute pinch. But I make one like once every two years, I never need it lol.

    Directions:

    1. Grab yourself a big yellow highlighter. You know the one I'm talking about. About as thick as your thumb, commonly found in the "sharpie" brand. Picture included below:

    2. Take off the cap, and save it. Also take off the white endcap at the other end of the marker. You're going to need pliers to pull it out. Otherwise, you can melt or drill a hole in the center of the white cape and use something (such as a screwdriver) to lever it out. Regardless, get that white cap out of there. Toss it, you won't need it later.

    3. Pull out the yellow nib (the part that actually touches the paper when you're writing) and the yellow spongy filler material. The nib can easily be pulled out with pliers, otherwise dig it out with a knife or something. The filler normally just drops out the white cap end after you remove the nib.

    4. Wash out the marker. There will be traces of yellow highlighter ink in there, and nobody likes the taste of that, so wash it out.

    5. Find a socket that wedges perfectly in the white cap end. If you have a socket set, you can easily find one that fits in there. You should not need any glue or adhesive, if you find the right socket size it will just wedge in there perfectly.

    6. Put a screen or small pebble inside the socket to keep the herb from sucking though. Tinfoil can be used, but should be avoided if possible. A carb/shotgun can be added (if desired) by simply drilling or melting a hole in the body of the highlighter close to the socket-bowl.

    The cap (which you saved) can be used on the writing end of the sharpie just as you normally would to prevent pocket lint, dirt, etc. from getting in the main chamber of the chillum. Cleaning is the same as always, ISO and salt.

    Hope this helps, it normally takes me about 5 minutes or less to do and is an ideal, non-toxic home-made smoking piece that does the job well.
     
  6. Sweet, thanks for the advice, I'm going to try to make this tonight or tomorrow :) Any more advice for stuff to use other than tinfoil for my bowl? I'm thinking of taking some scissors and cutting the bug screen from my window and like gluing it onto the inside of the socket
     

  7. Don't use house screens. 90% of the time (especially in newer houses) the screen is made out of something other than metal (ie. some sort of composite). Thus, it is no good to smoke. If you really, desperately need a screen, and you think no-one will notice, you can find one in most sink faucets. If you unscrew the cap that is right where the water flows out of the faucet, there's normally a screen in there that is metal and will work. Regardless of where you get the screen, don't glue it in. Glue is not good for a smoking. Anyways, with a socket, you should be able to wedge it in there good enough that it can hold.

    You can also bend a paperclip into a spiral and wedge that in there.
     
  8. Will the faucet operate any differently without the screen?
     
  9. Yes, instead of being shot through a screen it comes straight out like a hose
     
  10. Think my family would notice?
     

  11. Hmm... this is probably going to depend on the actual faucet, and how much attention to detail the members of your family pay.

    I honestly would suggest just rounding up a dollar or two and running to the nearest convenience store and buying screens most places around where I am have them, especially those pharmacy stores or whatever that sell old-man-smoking-tobacco pipes.

    Otherwise, if you're really worried about the screen noticed being missing, you can always take one out from the least used sink in the house. Then you can either wait until someone notices (they might never notice) and play stupid or you could actually mention that the sink is acting different yourself, who would suspect that you tampered with the sink? It's not like fucking around with sinks is a normal hobby in most societies.
