Retro bong designed and built in 11 minutes

Kaden Harris, maker of amazing and beautiful desktop medieval weaponry, sent me the following email, which he said I could share with the readers of Boing Boing.

(Click on thumbnail for enlargement) So I had visitors last night...friends of a friend who wanted to "meet the freaky pirate guy"...Whatever... I'm busy...go sit in the lounge and watch the lightshow.

20 minutes later:

"Kaaaden...do you have a bong?"

Well, no, actually. Just give me a second and I'll make one.

Meet 'Herr Bong'... total elapsed time from concept to completion: 11 minutes

Valu Village cookie jar

2 doorknobs, a low pressure expansion fitting, a high pressure ball valve, a 3/4" pipe union, 3 chunks of brass tubing and some lamp bits. The screen is a piece of expanded brass from the inner core of a chunk of heat exchanger pipe.

It worries me that I had all the componenets not just on-hand, but in plain sight. And not in the shop.
