home made ice luge

idiot

lacking any sense of humor in brain

Most towns have a place that makes ice luges. I bought one for a party awhile back. They are heavy as fuck...like 500lbs and cost ~$50 or so I think. They last for a long time also.

Once you get it, the best way I've found for making the actual liquor paths is with a drill. Use a 5/8 inch bit and carve the pat you want down like 1/2 inch or so and then run cold water down it to widen it out and make it smooth. Pretty easy process.

there is wooden lip about 4 inches high that holds the block from sliding toward you. the weight of the block keeps it on the stand as long as it's level. the only bitch is getting the block onto the stand. doesn't help that it's made of ice!

Its simple if you have an ice chest. Just fill a square tupperware of decent size (like 8-12 inches deep, 3 foot long, 2 wide) with water and let it freeze for a few days(gotta set your chest really cold). As for the actually luge part I just chizzled it out with a screwdriver and smoothed it with water. Takes a little effort but not difficult at all.

Oh..forgot to add the tupperware thing we used was actually made for storing items of little need but value under a bed..had a lid that was center hinged, we just ripped that fuckin thing off, placed the container in the chest and filled it with a hose. Its heavy as fuck to get out. And we used extra wood from a bar we built in my friends basement to make the platform. You can figure that out yourself i hope.

Wouldn't that melt really quick tho? Those luge things would probably last until morning because they're huge. Haha....luge........huge.

I would assume he's putting it in a basement of some sort(if not, I'd rethink the whole luge thing) as long as its dark and cool it will last a few days.

We put ours in the back of a truck with the tailgate down and some slats of wood in between the tailgate and bed, tilted so the back end is higher than the front. When we don't break them up and throw ice at each other they end up lasting for like three days.

ok this post is filled with idiots or im drunk....wait both. k listen here is how u do it ur self. first get a container that is slightly smaller than ur freezer, deep freeze or ice chest(who says ice chest). second fill it with water leaving 2 inches for expansion......college kids water expands when it freezes. ok so know it will take a few days to a week depending on container. it will slightly bulge in the center (no lude comments). this bulge will be the result of an air pocket drill or tap into it once its frozen and add a little room temp water. remember water expands so dont fill the void up with water or it will over flow onto the luge. once frozen get a router or a $20 dremell from walmart and a half inch bit or so. use a nail to scratch a curvy pattern...i suggest 2 that intersect for jager bombs...bull on one side jager on the other. then use the dremell to carve it out. its bs that u need to be an artist to do this im a non college havin former jarhead and current flatfoot who does a nice one for halloween every year. just do it sober and have fun with it. its easier than u think.
