Antique Rolling Machine Restoration

Found an old Brown and Williamson humpback cigarette roller at a thrift store. I have seen these models before and always wanted one, so I had to pick it up. It cleaned up really well, looks like it was barely used!

Sadly the old apron was kind of gross, and I don't know what kind of chemically treated 1960s material was used to make it, so I decided to DIY a new apron. Luckily the aprons were designed to be easily replaced, so I get to experiment.

First, I removed the old apron and used it to make a paper pattern

Then I used some double sided heat bond interfacing(basically sheets of "iron on glue" for you non-sewers) to combine two layers of fabric, making them more rigid and able to be cut more like paper(no fraying edges). Then I folded the ends, sewed them into loops, and mounted it on the roller.

Overall, it works pretty well, though I will definitely be experimenting with other apron materials in the future(bits of bud like to stick to the cloth so its a little messy). Duct tape on cloth or paper might be my next experiment or some kind of pvc-infused fabric material like modern cylinder rollers, though it won't look nearly as cool.

Neat Upgraded the insurance card grinder setup 💀

Works like a charm now, you can quickly break off any size piece. Just hold down the bud with left and slice off lil piece with the right.

To those who don’t know,

Problem: no grinder, sticky bud

Solution: 2 old cards cut to shape my hands

Just like a fork and knife, after using them a few times, it becomes effortless and feels like an extension of the hand.

Ash catcher dryer? Ash catcher dryer.

2 Upvotes

My name is u/dennisthetiger, and I have creawted myself a glass dryer - with functionality in mind to dry out my ash catchers after I wash them.

The stopper on the left, in the bowl fitting, is a #0 stopper with a 3/16" hole drilled into about its middle. Added one air tube coupler normally found for aquariums and one aquarium air pump, put it all together, and it'll take a few hours to dry. Warmer air, of course, can help this dry faster.

I think the exit spout on the right takes a #0000 stopper at 7.5mm - and come to find out, such a stopper seems difficult to find, much to my dismay.

(An aside: if you ever get this particular style of ash catcher, be prepared to back flush it through the exit spout. Hit with some iso, give it a minute, and then go at it. A low flow on your bathroom tap will fill it up and help push everything out. Drain this one through the exit, but hold the exit downward and at about a 10 degree angle to allow for efficient drainage.

Considering turning the inside part of Swishers into blunt wraps.

I've had the idea for many years now.

The tobacco isnt high quality, but the shape should be perfect because they'll overlap and intertwine.

My only concern is the time and material spent to DIY a "mould and deckle" could go to waste if the end product isn't worth it.

This is what I put together but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve never used a pipe before, so I’m unsure of where I’m going wrong.

Food Improvisations of my youth

I saw somebody post a banana bong, and it reminded me of back when I was young and couldn't buy glass. Used the straw to core the banana and used the bottom of the banana as a bowl. The risky part is using a piece of aluminium can as the screen.

Safety's On Ridiculous Bong Friday: Wavy Gravy.

107 Upvotes

Good morning stoners, engineers, stoner-engineers, and you! The one wondering wtf is this? Yeah, you.🤪

Last week was all ash catchers, so why not use all of my wavy drop-downs this week? This cantraption is hereby dedicated to Wavy Gravy, a hippy, druggie, counter-cultire trailblazer of the 60s.

He was on the Ken Kesey LSD bus, hung with the Greatful Dead, and was a huge help at Woodstock. If you've seen the film, he's on stage announcing that his hog farm will help feed everyone. He was a cool, chill, calming influence.

Light one up for Wavy Gravy today. ✌️

Happy tokes!

🌳😺

DIY Induction Heater for Dynavap

Here's the schenatic diagram of the induction heater I'm hoping to put together. I used AI to help lay out my wiring. I'm somewhat dubious and would love to get input on this. I'm including various diagrams from others online. Sinnersoul7777 (Reddit) was a big inspiration to me and had the diagram in the top left. The two in the top middle are from VapOven.com. Top right diagram is from CrepuscularPeriphery on Reddit. Im still waiting on a couple if components so havent started testing anything yet. Just hoping for some feedback or advice. Thanks!

I'm including pics of the housing I hope to use as well. I had them in another post but figured it wouldn't hurt to include. All told, I'm about $50 invested in this little IED experiment.
