haha yeah that would be kinda cool if you could make em into instruments... be funny to smoke out of a mini tuba or some shit!
Do you have alot of metal to make em out of? and how long does it take you to make one?

like the originality of the pipes, really like the bat...but the edges look a little sharp, have you ran your fingers around it? will it cut you?... if not we may need to talk, i need christmas presents this year for my friends and 15 of those are what i need if the $ is right...but anyway i dont know what kind of metal working your doing but could you twist that bong, it would be sweet as hell with twists in it, You should make a bubbler if you can... i like the idea of indestructable pipes, but you should build them to where you could add a glass slider if you wanted...nice work though van goughI had some scrap pieces of steel and titanium lying around so I have been making some stuff. Check it out tell my what you think. The first picture is my titanium oner its a little bigger than 1/4" diameter and the bowl is about an inch deep. I have Blued it as we say to give it its color. It has the ridges to theoretically cool down the smoke. It is also extremely light, lighter than a cheapo pen or pencil. The second is my Bong I am in the process of I will update as it is finished. It hits really nicely and will never break. the third is a pipe i made out of steel, i just thought it would be a cool design. The last is my gold plated pipe. Yes it really is gold plated so it begs the question is gold safe to smoke out of. These are all made out of the highest quality materials, because like i said i used scrap metal and we can only use very high quality materials because of what we make. Also if anyone likes these id be willing to make one for you or maybe a custom piece that you design or at least inspire. Happy smokin!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yea I love the idea of making the tuba or sax or something but that would take me sooooooooo long to do. Bob it sounds like you have some interesting ideas. I can definitely do a bubbler pipe or bong with a glass slider, or I can attach a glass bowl directly. Anyway pm me if you seriously want me to make anything I can probably do anything you want. Oh yea about the edges nope they are not sharp whatsoever I slightly round every edge on the entire piece, so you couldn't scratch yourself if you tried. Im also trying to come up with some sort of way to coat the bowl with glass or ceramic so I can put all these fumes fears to rest. So yea anyone who has any ideas for a pipe that they would like lemme know Ill make it. Also I made another Ti oner that I will post later when my camera charges, personally I like this one better.

here is my new oner its about the same size as the other however it is polished. sorry i wish i had a better camera. it is polished and blued so the color is like a dye remember so it is very metallic but it is a bight blue color technically it is manna blue if you want to look it up.

Hell yea custom requests are definitely welcome just try to describe what you want or draw a sketch or something and I'll make pretty much whatever you guys want.

Well everyone great news you no longer have to worry about inhaling fumes. I found a way to coat metal with a thin layer of glass. So that means I can coat the bowl with glass or the whole thing with glass this also opens up more doors for color on the pipes.

Here we go yet another bat this one however lot blued as you can see. It is titanium and the inside walls of the grooves have been gold plated. My initial plan was to blue what is now silver leaving it blue and gold but it wouldn't blue after I golded it. I think I have figured out what happened though and will be able to blue and gold my next one which will be the same design. I am working on a whole portable smoking system
now though. If anyone snowboards or golfs or anything active and smokes while you do it will absolutely love it.

The glass will be bonded to the metal sort of like a glue. I still havent tried this but the research says this will be perfect. Its almost like a glaze for pottery except its for metal, it is also designed for high temp applications(much hotter than a lighter).

Well guys there seemed to be some interest in my pipes. I'm trying to save up for a patent on a pipe system I just finished and could use some extra cash. So again if anyone wants one of the ones I made or a custom piece. Also I can do pretty much any material now. And I can make custom wooden pipes which are great to smoke from IMO. Also I spoke to my metallurgy prof at college he says there is nothing to worry about with smoking out of the metals I use. There is no metallic taste either with my pipes, I have tested this extensively

alright guys im back at it again. however this time I have a real machine and can do light production which means reasonable prices if I actually start selling these. Anyway I came up with a new design and made 11 of them. They came out beautifully. Thinking of taking these over to my local head shop this weekend to see if they would be interested in selling them.
