Be very careful some others suggest this is better , but let it be known when drilling on rounded surfaces your drill bit can slip and injure you. If you opt to use a drill will a glass cutting drill bit for making your bong replace the nail steps below.
first step
Gather all the items you will need as listed above for making your own bong and let's get down to business. Take the tape and place a few strips around the area you want your downspout to go. You are doing this to avoid the nail slipping. Make sure you place the tape in the correct area that a downspout should go and you will base this upon the spout size, and bottle size.
step 2
Very very very gently start to tap the nail in the exact area you want the downspout to be, Your goal here is to create the slightest chip out of the glass. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS DANGEROUS .
After a few minutes of tapping 5-10, you are ready to start scratching the area you were just tapping on. Now you want to start the scratching process, Hold the nail just like you would a pencil and scratch away. You may also want to alternate tapping and scratching.
NOTE:
This step will take about 1-2 hours of work, so go easy and don't rush it
step 3
As you approach breaking right through, Slow down and be even more careful, One mistake here can cost you all of your hard work. One final tap just send the nail through "YES" will be your reaction, Now gently take your nail and place right at the edge of the hole you just made and tap tap tap. Continue tapping in a circle so your downspout will fit snug.
NOTE:
Glass chunks will break off during this step, So be very very careful
step 4
Once you have the desired hole size now you will want to use the sand paper to smooth out the hole. Continue until you has a nice round hole free of jagged glass and soft to the touch. Take your rubber seal for downspouts and apply the glue under the lip/top and slide in the seal into the glass hole you made.
step 5
This is the best step and will feel the most worth while. insert your downspout and put your bowl in, fill with water and your favorite herb and light up!!!!!!!!!!
This home made bong will smoke just as good or better then a store bought one and will impress your friends. Try will different color glass bottles and sizes, Because just like store bought bongs this can effect your smoking experience by a huge amount.
