How to make a KING SIZE joint!

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

In this blog I will show you how to make a huge joint out of strange ingredients.

The joint is meant to be lit up, but no ones mouth is big enough to smoke it. I made the joints below to decorate and lite my coffeeshop’s bar, real joints are being smoked under the led loaded king size… Many of my clients told me they would like one for their room or house. Here is how to make your own…

The base of the joint is a piece of plywood, pick any size you like, your choice. My joints are 115 cms long.

I wanted it to look like a joint that has been smoked on already, so I took measurements from the one I was smoking at the moment.

I measured where to put the led lamps and the big hinge in the lines of the joint.

After making sure everything would fit in I jigsawed the joint out of the plywood.

We never close the shop for renovations, but we try to keep the place accessable, so my workshop is on the side walk, the dust just blows away…

Next step: wiring the joint up, I placed to fittings in the bottom of the joint to lite the bar, and one fitting at the wide end to light the tip of the joint.

Ready to start rolling up now…

I used chicken wire for the shape of the cone, makes it firm enough and keeps the weight low.

After that, I hung it up, wide side down.

I used old newspapers and wallpaper glue to skin the joint up, it is a bit messy, but very effective, it took about ten minutes to do the job.

I left it to dry overnight, together with the tip, made out of chicken wire and paper too.

The first joint is up, all it needs now is a little white paint.

There you go, painted and plugged in, seems to work.

The two huge joints work fine, the bar is well lit and the tips are glowing. Next time I will make me a bigger one to hang above the cannabis counter…

I know, I could have blogged during the reform, but I was busy from morning to evening…

There had been no changes for quite some time, the place looked boring, so I decided to start nicing it up.

I pulled out the old first class train seats in front of the window, they were worn out completely. After that, I made new seats with the regular train seats we have in the rest of the place.

I made high blocks for two benches, so those sitting in these seats can watch the view on the Spaarne river and the windmill across.

Our vaporizer corner, ready to vape. The empty spot will be filled with a digital photo screen explaining how to use the vaporizers.

We also put two clones in a glass grow unit, stationed behind the bar.

The pool area looks cool now, the dark wall makes the place look classy.

The bar look completely different, two huge joints hanging over our visitors now. The joints lite the bar and have a glowing tip…

This a new form of art: Flart. (floor level art)

The pipe in the cabinet turns around, it gives great light effects after dark, come and see…

A small fountainin the corner drips all day.
