/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I had a thought about reinventing the wheel on this a bit (and I hate the fucking bashing in this thread). If you're going to make them, OP, why not make them better?

Some of you guys who aren't dipshits help me spitball this.

Rocks or stone, I would imagine, wouldn't be much better or worse of a conductor than metal or something, no? But I imagine they're full of a lot more air than, say, a solid steel cube or something.

Does that air trapped inside help the whiskey stones stay cooler longer? Or would something solid that is a poor conductor (like ceramic or something maybe?) be better?

Let's come up with a better media for the stones. It seems like soap stone is just being used out of convenience.

OP here.

Hi. I didn't ask for your sage wisdom about ball pits. I don't give a shit.

I just want to know the cheapest place to buy bulk balls, preferably in the US where I can pick them up myself.

You're not doing that, hence you're trolling.

I have a question for the guys who have been through welding school.

When going to school for welding, if you literally have NEVER welded and know nothing about it, are you going to catch lots of shit and have a hard time? Because I gather a lot of people that go to school for it have already welded a lot on their own. And I wonder if the people who don't get looked at like people in mechanic school who have never touched a car or something.

I've welded, though, a little. Used have a little stick welder that I did things with. But I'm inexperienced enough I'd worry about being lumped in with those types.
