Pretty sure those guys are still in college.

If I remember (2019) it was a group that looked to be in their mid-20's.
I find it funny that Indianapolis Motor Speedway doesn't care if you bring your beer bong and only that your cooler is within limits. Bong away my friend.
I'm sure Wrigley Field won't let you bring you beer bong inside.
That seems too cheap for copper. I'd want to prove that it was, and not copper painted something else.

Kinda what I was thinking. I searched "copper bowl" on ebay and prices were all over the place, but I don't think I found any as low as 8 bucks. If it's solid copper, it was well-bought.
Have you checked to see if it is magnetic? Might be an easy first check.

Depends on where you are. It's all in the name of taxes anyhow.

You've got to be a special kind of stupid to blow yourself up growing weed. You just need a momentary lapse of care to blow yourself up or poison yourself brewing shine.

So you are of the opinion that the government is concerned with the personal safety of the hobbyist distiller? Interesting.

More likely because if you mess up and make methanol instead of ethanol, you could blind yourself or kill yourself with literally just a sip, if it went wrong enough.
Ok so I know nothing whatsoever about making shine. Let's get that out of the way.
From you know TV and stuff, what comes out of a still is the same thing that's in beer. Just highly concentrated. I don't know where I heard it but ethanol vapor temp is ~173 degrees F. Methanol and acetone and all the other E36 M3ty stuff has a lower vapor point. That means that from what I'm told if you run your theoretical still right you would have them come of first and throw them away. They're called fore shots or something phallic like that. What most people claim is it's easy to poison yourself is from cases of people adulterant the alcohol on purpose with other substances that are cheaper than ethanol.
Open flame and alcohol could be dangerous. I get that. I would assume a level headed person would be very careful working around that. If I were to want to make shine and it were legal of course I would do something like maybe use a hot water heater element to heat it up. That way the danger of an open flame is eliminated.
obsolete said:Perhaps you've thought of it already, but assuming the bowl turns out to actually be copper, I'd flare the pipe and/or dimple die the hole in the bowl to get more surface area for a strong soldered joint.
Yeah I've put a lot of thought into that. I'm was thinking just doing a 1 inch hole and driving a 1 1/8 inch steel rod down it. That would give me a nice little flare to the correct OD of the copper pipe.

Good call. I owe you an internet point or two. Checked and totally nonmagnetic.
When I look at this picture I see this couple outlined in red here. Let's call them Marge and Fred. The conversation in my head goes like this:
Marge: Fred watch this!
Fred: Damn it Marge, don't shotgun that beer and start asking people to throw you beads again!
Because everybody likes to see stuff made.
Couldn't find a 1.125 metal rod but figuring it's soft copper I got a wooden dowel that size. Used my grinder to grind/burn a chaffer.
All copper shavings and the disc looks like solid copper.
Original plan was to just drive the dowel all the way thru but I realized the end was getting mushroomed from the hammer so I just drove it back out the way it came in.
Not my best soldering job and the tube isn't totally straight but it just adds character.
I'll probably soak it in vinegar for a long time to clean it up but I'm happy with how it came out.
Nice!

Vintage? Hell my mom was going to throw them out so I took them. They were still new in the box when I hooked them up last year.

My exact ones are about 20 years old. Still sound great.
