Don't even consider doing this without a knife and some kind of adhesive.
You'll need either a glass/proceline or metal bowl for the end of the stem to hold the weed.

Look man as I said earlier use wax to seal the pipe or bong as well as coat the inside well with wax as well.
As to the bowl and stem; line the bowl with aluminum foil and the water line part of the stem coat with wax, no need to do anything between the bowl and water line part of the stem as that the water will filter out the drying bamboo fiber.
As for making the holes instead of drilling it you could just use a carving knife and taking your time. Being sure not to cut yourself or cracking the coconut and/or bamboo.
The waxing inside is important because you don't want to be inhaling bamboo or coconut fiber trust me it is not good for you.
Making your own piece is a great joy when it's finished.

alright as you can see i have plenty of length of bamboo so i will probably make it pretty long,
for the bowl i am going to make it like a corncob pipe sticking out of the bong. see how the nodes of bamboo are like corn cobs?
i started by scraping the green skin from a length of the bamboo. i think it looks alright.
i guess it will look something like this when im done exept it will have a bowl
i guess imma smoke another bowl and dig the flesh out now ill show pics of it when i am done. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. as ive seen pics on the internet of bongs similiar to this but have no clue what im dong =]

I can't remember what it was I was using other than wax.
We learned the hard way when a friend had to go to the doctor that inhaling the dry fibers cause him some lung damage.
The parts that are waxed never get hot so it justseals the inside so there is no worry of fibers you know. Plus if you take your time it makes it easy to clean as well.
I'm sure there are other choices of seals that's just what we used it because it was easy to get. As well as work with and forgiving when sealing oops"s.

I don't have patience to tolerate insolent little kids, who feel they're only in school because their parents don't want to have them running around the home.

You have way too many posts for me to dig through so I'll just ask in the case that it's common knowledge and I missed it. Are you a school teacher irl?

I didn't think you were being nosey.
I just get annoyed when someone insists on making the same lame mistakes over and over and over and ...
Like: "Hey, I'm a stoner - who cares if I type like shit".

I gotcha on that man. I'm guilty of what you speak of as well but I do at least try to clean it up so far as what isn't part of my own personality. I too get very frustrated with those that think they are too cool for proper communication skills. Communication isn't so much about spelling and grammar as it is about conveying your thoughts and feelings. Some need to be very literary about it and yet some can achieve it with pictures. The important thing is that the idea be conveyed. Too many don't even make an honest attempt at that.
Coaster is a good example. His grammar is shit. He is very much capable of better. He doesn't annoy me at all though because I get a sense that his grammar conveys his meanings better than proper English can reproduce nearly as efficiently.
