ill assume you have the weed,
you'll need:
-1m drainpipe
-2x endcaps for the pipe
-drillbit 6mm
-coffee filters
-butane type lighter refills (2 bottles per oz weed)
Method
*** DO THIS OUTSIDE***
Put one hole in an endcap, tight fitting with the biggest nozzle on the lighter fluid. Put maybe 5-6 holes in the other one. On this one, put in two coffee filters (or even kitchen roll) put your weed in the pipe and cap. put a pyrex bowl at end and pour through the lighter fluid. After the second bottle, the oil will pour out, leave it overnight, stir it regular and it wont explode, happy smoking

i tried making one out of household items before reading all the replys...but i had about a 36" burnt florence bulb....took the ends off with a plyers...carefully until i got the pressure out on one side...broke it so that it was only about a foot long....cleaned the inside to get rid of the white powder inside.....so one side was nice and round...the other kinda sharp in spots...bought a reuseable coffee filter for 3 bucks at walmart.....ducked taped the filter to the sharp end....and bough a sink stopper and stabed a hole in the middle to make a cross(+).....all set? bought some expensive butane "near zero impurities" online....thought i had everything....nahhh...the bulb's glass is too thin.....the cap doesn't have enough pressure against the butane can to make it come out.....and by holding the glass hard it will break and or shadder....i just bought a 43 dollar honey extractor off ebay just about 3 hours ago...basically like trying to make my own but when it doesn't work the first time i'm kinda disappointed and just say fuck it.

there is a better way of making hash oil.

Get a large glass jar and fill it with your trim/buds and then with isopropyl alcohol so the matter is submerged. Shake it for 20-30 seconds but no longer otherwise you'll start to bring out the clorophyl. Pour the jar over a fine strainer into a glass bowl so only the liquid is in the bowl. Set that bowl in a larger tray/bowl of hot water to evaporate the alcohol. After a day or so it should all be gone and you'll be left with a fine layer of oil on the bowl.

This is the same method I have personally used for years, has worked for me so far, around harvest time i always pick up a flat of canning jars for curing anyway and you can double boil with them very easily, the glass is high tempered and wont shatter the only warning is if using a gas stove to double boil keep the flame low as isopropyl alcohol is extremely flamable:fire:

Not to negate the last two responses, that is a way of making a hash tincture, and the original way of creating hash oil. Old school. But it's not nearly as good as supercritical fluid extraction. (Butane oil)

It's simple to make a pvc tube, just like the honey bee extractor, as mentioned above. But with any plastic, the addition of butane will have a reaction and there will be some impurities leached from the plastic.

He had a decent idea of using glass. I have a blown glass extractor, about the same size as the honey bee. Had a friend blow it. It looks like a glass dildo, but works great.

Does your alcohol tincture create handable hash? Or drippy oil?

I made a butane extractor with a metal pipe with one end capped and a hole in the cap just the right size for the butane. The other side had a screen held on with a hose clamp. I filled the tube with weed. Put the cap and screens on. Pointed it towards a big glass plate. Emptied the butane through the tube onto the plate. I paid less than $10 for the parts and I already owned the drill. It is easy. But I recommend making plane old hash with a screen. It gets you just as high and there are no chemicals. I also did the alcohol thing a bunch of times, also I do not recommend it.

This thread is old as fuck, but you can easily make a BHO or ISOHASH with the same container. Get a mason jar and drill a few smaller holes in the lid, make sure one hole is big enough for the butane tip to fit into, but small enough that pressure is created on the cap so the butane is released into the glass jar. If you're using alcohol, simple pour it into the jar. Throw a filter into the lid and nce done, tip it over onto a plate to let the fluids drain =)
