Creative homemade pipes?

Might i recommend using something other than aluminum as the bowl liner? I'm imagining the taste and smell of hot vinyl ... aiee. Ordinary clay (potter's mineral clay, not plasticine) works a treat ime.
I once made a hash pipe from some iron-rich bauxite clay I found in a cave. The stem was a bit of brass tubing. This was back in the 70s, when a gram of delicious Lebanese blonde hash crossed paths with an adolescent me. cn

I was thinking of 'borrowing' some clay and use of the kiln from my old school- I've also heard you can buy pipe clay specifically with properties best suited to making pipes. I just used polymer clay because it was out on my shelf and it was 3 am XP

I've heard all sorts of stories about unsuitable metal being used for bowls- I only use it a few times a week but it's caked in resin at the moment, maybe that means I'm not smoking metal...

But in the future I'll probably go with clay if I make this a regular thing.

I'll look out for brass tubing as well, fluffy-wuffy bear <3

if you use clay use a moisture friendly, darker clay. itll mold better and be less "air-bubbly". my dad is a potter in a hippy town and he made me a bong/stein/bowl/mug combo

WOOHOO!! the 70's

Back in the early '70s we use to stop our motorcycles on the side of the road & you could usually find a beer or soda can to smoke from. Been my favorite find & smoke anywhere device for a long time . . .
Just a pinch on the bottom, same side below mouth opening, couple of holes in place of screen, & then put a carbuerator on the bottom ! All done ...
