If nothing else, can you list me what materials you used? like, pipe choice, etc? It'd be one of those things that I'd live to build myself and customize. [/quote] I've been asked this a few times since I've posted this. [color=#5D5D5D][font=tahoma, arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=2]All of my brass/copper and fittings I pulled out of heaps at the recycling center in my town. Other parts from antique stores. The only items I bought "new" was the glass tube (vase from michaels), the hose (moon smoke shop) and the glass bowl (medusa hookah lounge). I have boxes and boxes of antique componants, fittings, handles, knobs, gears, cranks, etc. I try to make most of my steampunk art out of antiques. The best way to keep the real look is to use old parts. Some parts of the hookah have been soldered together. It comes apart in to 5 main pieces for easy cleaning. The glass tube. Upper assembly, lower assembly, bowl assembly, and base. The mouthpiece I machined on a lathe at work. The brass globes are bedknobs I found at a flea market. It's really just comes down to scrounging and trying to find the right components to follow the theme. [/size][/font][/color] [/quote] Matt, the steampunk hookah you built is absolutely gorgeous. I've always loved steampunk, and your hookah is an amazing example of it.

I highly recommend the paleoprimal diet/lifestyle, mainly lifestyle as thats what it is a lifestyle. I started living primal about 5 months ago, I slowly weened myself off of body harming grains(wheat, corn, rice). I'm 6' 3'' and weighed 350 when I started, I'm down to 295 now. Check out marks daily apple its a great site with loads of amazing info, especially the definitive guides; also check out the book: The Primal Blueprint its a great read. Calvin

Thanks for the welcome guys. I've been looking around the past week, man there is alot of good information on here. I especially enjoy the reviews section. Great forum, glad I found it.

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to smoking hookah, I started about two weeks ago and love it. I'm really looking forward to learning the art of hookah. Calvin
