  1. Made with 6061 T6 aluminum, on a lathe...thought I'd show it off...

  2. It looks nice, but doesn't it get really hot when you smoke out of it?
     
  3. It actually looks pretty good, nice work.

    Not at all, the walls of the bowl are thick unlike foil and aluminum in substantial thickness is not a very good conductor of heat, and it hits great!
     
  5. Looks like a one hitter, I'd be careful using that for more than one hit tbh with the material it is made out of.

    The only condition its bad to smoke out of aluminum is foil...because it vaporizes because its so thin...besides this is aircraft grade aluminum, made specifically to resist heat and deterioration...no different than smoking out of stainless or something of that nature...
     
  7. i like it bro
     
  8. Show us a video of you using it. Looks cool man.
     
  9. Reminds me of the brass pipe I made in auto-tech on the lathe!

    Nice craftsmanship!
     
  10. Will it sit upright on its own or will it tip over?
     

  11. No doubt it's made to resist heat and deterioration, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's safe for a human to smoke from it

    it's a sick pipe nonetheless, nice job man

    Believe orbit not it will, the bar stock I used was veeeeeeeery slightly bent so it sits perfectly lol the bend is so minuscule you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it..
     
  13. looks so smooth
     
  14. from one machinist to another, good job, shit looks sweet! ive always wanted to machine me a pipe, never took the time to do it! maybe youve inspired me haha
