This could be done very easily with the right materials.

However, I think you might have to mod the downstem a bit. As is stands, the water level would be backed up into the shaft from the bowl since the stem dips below the water level before it attaches to the main chamber. Maybe have an internal extension on the downstem that brings it up through the water, then puts the tip back down into the water?

Haha, was my avatar the inspiration?

I've seen one bulit before, but it wasn't functional... 'tis a shame.

Yes, it was. The next thing to figure out is where to get plexiglas or glass hemispheres.

By the way, I have something I have been working on the last few days currently sitting at my parents house. I'll get some pics tomorrow night.

Nah, I took a nap instead of going to get it. Hahaha

I'll have it tomorrow. Don't expect much, its pretty crude. I havent tried it yet, but it should be functional.

Note that this is the first rough design, and its far from complete in the visual department. Parts of it are getting a paint job tonight, and I have some other plans for it.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a glass dome custom made. The thick plastic works great for now, but I would love to get something a little more permanent. Also, I plan on using a metal base for the next model too. Some downstem alterations might be needed too.

It smokes great. Awesome seal on all parts, though I still need to add a purge.

I don't see how this one opens up. I think the best way to do that is make the vase part out of two hemispheres which are clamped together.

It doesn't. You put water in through the hose port.

Wouldn't that make it a bit hard to clean?

no....it would make it REALLY hard to clean...

although, if you subscribe to the denture cleaning tab methods or the "rinse and you're fine" methods, then i don't see a big problem..

Well, this will have to remain a thought project for me at least until the jobs picture changes. I'm hoping to soon get access to a machine shop club after moving. That should make it easier to fashion the metal pieces. The only other thing to source would be fairly thick glass hemispheres.

There are fishing net floats on eBay. The come in various colors, sizes and prices. With the proper tools they could make a nice globe for Jabba's hookah
