I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

I don't really understand the whole concept...well, I guess I do, I just don't understand the allure. Ah, well.

I dig the dry ice idea. Dry ice is fun. I was in a class in high school for which we had to make 'gravity cars.' I was going to put wheels on a 20lb stage weight and call it done until the teacher imposed a severe weight limit. Bastard...

Huh? My point? Oh! Instead of wheels, I put a body on a thin slab of dry ice (dry ice cut on a bandsaw makes a cool noise) and let it down the track. I had to sweep the gym floor in front of the track first, but that sucker flew. Even after it stopped, it wandered around a little...

I played many fun pranks that day with the rest of the dry ice...

I'm trying to think of how you could make your own block of ice, but freeze it around a tunnel that could be pulled, dissolved or otherwise removed later...

...or you could freeze it in halves, torch the mating surfaces, and freeze it together...

...I mean, as I said, I don't understand the whole point, but you could make some wicked long tunnels to pour your alcoholic beverage of choice through...

HA! You could even make sure you leave holes in which to insert a neon or flourescent tube!

Maybe I've been wrong all this time, and drinking really is fun...

Time to put on the curmudgeon hat...

Dry Ice in a sealed container will explode with FORCE... like a pipe bomb. And that's why it's a felony to do it. I found this out on the FBI's Bomb data web site. other than that I have no experience with that type of thing nope nope nope...

Making your own block is a cool idea and quite feasable since you live in NH. Make a mold out of plywood and line with with a large (*new*- as if I need to say it) garbage bag as a liner. Take some clear, flexible plastic tubing and make a windy long path making sure there are no "traps" for the beverage of choice to lay in. The only downside to this is it may melt a little quicker than a commercial ice block since the outdoor temp might only be 20 degrees (will melt quicker indoors compared to a commercial ice block that would likely be below zero in temp).

The main advantage to doing it that way is that you will not only surround the beverage in cold but that it will not dilute the alcohol with melting ice water as it runs the luge. The best part is that you can leave a few inches of hose stick out at the bottom so make it easier to catch the beverage and as the ice melts you still have a drinkable end. With just a groove cut in a block of ice you would have a rather tough drinking issue after the first few runs.

I REALLY like the idea of drilling a long hole (or two) in it for neon light tube(s). you could even mold the holes for them into it in advance (easier and cheaper than digging up 15" drill bits). Your ice luge would be the @$$-kickinest one anyone ever saw any party!

well i finished it this afternoon. i tried to freeze a block of ice overnight (it's been like 10 degrees around here) but it didn't work out, so i drove an hour and paid $50 for a 300lb block.. i cut it in half on the diagonal today and then used some chisels to carve a "luge" into it.. it turned out pretty good.. there's so much more i could do, but it was frikkin' cold outside and i was working next to a 300 pound brick of ice, so i was only able to get so creative.. anyway, with luck the party'll be a rip-roaring success. thanks to all for the input and advice
