Household METAL devices that can be used as a stem and slide?

Hey again guys. I decided to make my own bong, using a glass bottle. That part went well, but now I'm not sure what to do. I tried using plastic (pens), but found the only pieces that would fit tasted funny (just drawing in clean air), and weren't taking the heat from lighters too well. So I call upon the potheads to help me find common household items that are metal and will work as a stem and slide (I guess wood would work too, but idk). Thanks

happen to have an old tv antenna around?

no one knows your house or what's in it, so it'd be hard to tell you anything to use.. just go to home depot and look for something that would work... if nothing else, i would suggest just making a non-removable bowl.

socket wrench socket= slide
just watch out... those bastards hold HEAT

just try to find a pipe :o
well there not much I can help you with but to buy a pipe.

Guys help this poor guy out, he wants actual suggestions, not just a hijacked thread. JohnGalt, I personally used to be an avid musician, and i have been using a trumpet mouthpiece, it works amazingly as a downstem and bowl. Good luck

Hmm, I have a popper bottle that I want to put a slider on so any good ideas would help me out too. Right now i'm using the old socket wrench socket with some tinfoil for a screen but the tinfoil keeps breaking through and im losing alot of weed.

i used a wind chime as a down-stem & a socket from a socket wrench as a bowl. If you have any deep sockets(like a socket designed for taking off a lug nut) lying around, those can actually function on their own as a pipe.

Hmmm, that's actually a pretty good idea. I also saw some copper tube lying around... is there any way to cut it eaisly without the use of a blow torch?

Copper should cut pretty easily. Use a hack saw or like some bolt cutters. Only problem is w/ bolt cutters you'll squish the end flat. You can bend it back to round using pliers though, copper is soft. Good luck.
