Molson Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey guys. More hookah stuff fresh off the lathe. I was making some more pens I had pre sold and figured i'd give these a try while I was at it. This first was a custom adapter for hassouni. He posted about getting a cheap phunnel for his lebanese hookah. We talked for a bit through pm's and he gave me some very precise measuerments. I took those and spun an olivewood adapter. The other little poker actually comes from cigars (I am an avid cigar smoker). The tool is used to either unplug a cigar, or use it as a nubbing tool. I figured I might as well make a nice foil punch. Although the rod is 1/16'' so it might poke holes a little to small. I think a 3/32'' might be better. Not to sure what size a toothpick is. I will take my calipers to it one day and figure it all out. Anyways after turning, drilling, sanding, and finishing. I sharpend the tip to a nice point and voila! What do you guys think?

[/quote] The air hole is 23/64'' (hehe just shy of 3/8'') The reason for that is I make wine bottle stoppers aswell and When I turn them I drill a hole. Then mount them on a screw chuck slightly larger and finish it off. Makes a process a lot easier. So I just used the same drill bit. I meant to say the connector is again with no finish. But the foil punch got the royal treatment. The picture really dosen't do the punch justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
