The HI

Yes. But don't forget that Alan stopped making them for a while before his move. He's been cranking on that list ever since the move transpired, however.

"Thanks for your interest in the HI. I have you on the waiting list now. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer than 6 months. I have completed my move now, so production is now picking up". This is from Alan,dated May 20,2013

Alright, my wong has arrived. I would hate to say this :uhoh: but this just earned the Hi a fucking 10! That's right, it has earned the throne! Alan, your work is flawless - to think you turned this last minute as a favor is mind boggling!








Any chance of using this thing as a but plug just went out the window, it's too pretty.... :bowdown:

Alan's work is really precise and beautiful, isn't it? :D

I had sent my HI back to Alan a short while ago for a quick repair and he sent me a beautiful osage orange WonG. The taper on it is perfect. Here it is, pictured with my HI, and two other roasting tubes Alan made for me; a purpleheart, and a black ebony made from a piano sharp key.

All of you waiting for your HI's...... be patient. This is a product worth waiting for. In fact, I'm back on the list again and have to wait for all of you to get yours before mine comes. ;) So "man up" for Pete's sake.... put your big boy/girl panties on and start reading up on technique so that you can hit the ground running when yours arrives. :tup:

Maybe I just too fuking hi but what about a ceramic or glass Hi - obviously expensive but it would be pretty...

Alan, what about a bamboo wong or I guess Bong?

Speaking of a BonG tube. Here is one I just made. It has a glass nipple installed. The bamboo is 14mm in diameter. I was only able to get one made from the entire piece as the tolerances on the diameter and wall thickness are so tight. I will need to take some calibers with me the next time I go buy some bamboo. A glass or ceramic HI would look really neat, but I'm thinking it might store too much heat and be uncomfortable to hold.

mvapes - Glad the WonG tube arrived safely and you are pleased. Here is a photo of it. Should last you a while.

Thanks for posting the photos of your collection mom. They are looking good.

slowandsteady - Thanks. Have been using some really nice wood lately.

I would assume so...... I got that info from Alan so he's the one who will have to answer that one. :)

I probably missed this somewhere....This is beautiful, what wood is that HI made from?

Sure is Mom.

there are several really old Yew trees I used to visit in old churchyards in the south of the UK when I lived there .They were planted where old pagan churches were established long ago.I think they, the leaders planted Yew trees to strenghten the energy & experience of ceremony.When Religious practice at these sites changed from pagan to christian,the yew trees remained somehow.I always looked for Yew trees at sacred sites and they were common place.
I sometimes saw evidence of white magic ceremony at these sites on trips out and about,driving for hours in beautiful countryside with no real destination planned.:D

Thats a beauty & no doubt a pretty special saber you got there Mom:)
