Posted on September 15, 2010 by max

Ever since I started hanging (I mean actually visiting them at job sites) out with my plumber friends at Sewer Specialists, they’ve been teaching me awful a lot including how easy it is to get some PVC piping together.   Well, here’s a cool skate dolly you can use for those action reels you are working on and save a bunch of money over retail.

Are you a photography-nut?  Well, here’s a cool DIY photography C-Stand you can make using PVC pipes from Home Depot.

Here is my version of a simple and durable PVC backdrop or Lighting Stand. All the pieces are cheap and readily available and assembly is easy. I bought all the pieces at my local Lowe’s for about $11.00, so you can do 2 for about 20 bucks not counting the uprights. You might save even more if you buy a multi-pack of the PVC fittings.

Posted on October 24, 2008 by max

For Halloween, you might want to consider this really cool DIY that shows you how to make skull graveyard fence out of PVC pipes.  Even better, replace the top with something else and you can keep using it as a fence.

Our nice, quiet graveyard was already full, so we wanted to keep visiting trick-or-treaters out. In years past, we cobbled up a makeshift fence out of long wooden stakes and purple lights strung between them. This was effective, but tacky. In 2000, we decided to build the ever-popular fake fence out of PVC pipe.

DIY – How to Make Water Bottle Rocket Launcher!

Posted on October 18, 2008 by max

Here’s a great way to make a water bottle rocket launcher with use of regular sodas and PVC pipes from Home Depot. I really like this water bottle rocket launcher as it can be a great way for students to learn about science while keeping things safe.

With a home haunt, we have found that the best non-commercial cylinder to be found on the market today is the screen door closers.
