For a screen, metal window screen works or you can pop off the screen from inside the aerator on a sink. Like the part where the water comes out of your faucet has an ideal screen in it. Only problem is you'll probably get bitched at for taking it lol.

Yeah, I had thought about a window screen but I heard somewhere that smoking that shit gets you fucked up so I never risked it. Any truth to this?

Well guys, I found some thick ass copper tubing (bout 1/2"-3/4"), and some left over heavy duty plastic tubing (aslo 1/2"-3/4") from a commercial spray paint gun. I was thinking about using the plastic tubing as the stationary stem (using hot glue or epoxy to attach it to the glass), while soldering the copper tubing to my big socket wrench bowl, and using that as the sliding piece. Sound feasible(sp)?

The fact that you mention soldering bothers me. I don't want to have lead near my bud. The possibility that some of the metal in the solder could re-liquefy or release fumes upon heating, which one does with a bong, genuinely would scare me away from the idea.

do NOT use copper, it is very bad to use, it gives off all kinds of harmful chemicals when burnt... i repeat do NOT use copper, or lead or aluminum for that matter...

Whoa, thanks for warning me about the copper and solder. I hadn't known about the high lead levels in most solders, or its very low melting point

Im also in need of some pipe : [[
