So I was thinking about making a homemade simply glass bong. I have the glass, and the downstem which is actually the mouthpiece to my brother's trumpet! Honestly works (would work) perfectly! All I ask is how do you cut a circle in the glass for the downstem?? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
this for sure ^ and also practice creating the hole for the downstem on other glass berfore doing it on your future water pipe good luck
had a glass downstem too big from my bubbler , I just torched the shit out of it with a 20$ PROPANE torche from homedepot and just hit it off my sink and half of the other downstem just chipped off so SUCCESS! use a proppane torch gets it mega hot and red.
Easiest and cheapest way would be to use a tile cutting drill bit they are only £1 or 2 fron the hardware store it's just a flat blade on the end of a drill piece no water or cutting oil is needed just drill the hole slowly with a tiny amount of pressure let the drill do the work and you will have a clean hole through in no time
Use a Dremel. I just cut some glass for my Chianit Bong with it. No chips, no breaks, only clean cuts. Don't need to use water. Just makes a mess and a waste of time.
You use water while cutting to gather the glass particles in a muddy soup, rather than having them become suspended in the air and then straight into your lungs
A bit of sellotape where you want ur pipe to slot in , i use a tish hammer ( for smashing windows ) but a dart works to , just keep tapping away till you get through , then its just a case of getting it to the size of ur pipe sent from behind all that smoke
only way to drill a hole is with a diamond bit and under running water. word of warning...water and electricity do not mix so be careful.
I heard you can do it with a nice drill bit, but under running water or under water like everyone else said.
