This sounds great and I’ll have to look into it. I have nice glassware pieces for home, I rarely like to take glass out in my pocket. I remember this gaming convention I went out to, there was a field in the back. We went back there to smoke and there was already circle.
In this circle, they were passing around chocolate Godiva vodka and this really REALLY cool piece. It was a large bowl, fat and completely see through. Inside was this massive plastic replica of a HUGE joint, rolling around free. On the side of it, it said “The Labrador”. It was an old first production Tommy Chong piece. Felt honored to smoke from it.
My step-dad is a straight laced guy; ex-manager higher up in the mill business. He bought a lathe. For Christmas he gave my gf a really nice pipe from a kit he bought, which surprised us all, lol. The kit comes with a cone pieces, metal tubing, a mouthpiece, and even a screw on cap with a small hole in it, too keep your herb inside when it’s tumbling around in your pocket. He buys acrylic blocks and lathes them to make different colors.
He’s been making a decent side business selling them to local headshops for $25 apiece and buys the kits for $15. I’ve told him he could charge more, but its just a hobby and he doesn’t want to get greedy with it. He can make tiny short ones, or double pipe long ones. The cones even have a shelf to set screens on. I’ve always just flattened a piece of sticky bud to make a screen and keep the ground material out of the works, but the little screen shelf is great for that. I bought one and that’s what I use to carry around. Its an all metal-acrylic construction.
Here’s a pic of one (not the best quality camera, lol):
He gets all kinds of cool acrylics and the metal can be silver, gold, or black. My gf loves halloween, so she has a black one with a bright orange mica design acrylic. It completely screws down to the base components, so it’s super easy to clean.
