I would like to make my own pipe clamps. Where would be the best place to purchase 16' of 3/4" (outside diameter) pipe? I am looking for the best value.
Thanks
Steve
Here's an idle question: is it easy to MIG (actually flux-core wire-weld) common black pipe ? I assumed black-pipe was mild steel, but maybe its really more cast-iron-like ?
No, I don't plan on using this for gas-piping..I'm planning to make a large cross-dowel aka barrel nut by tack-welding a...
Dust Collection Pipe. 6" pipe for the router/downdraft table to be built. The 4" pipe will connect to the overarm blade guard given to me by Steve Coles.
Dust Collection Pipe. 6" to three 4". These will be used for tools on wheels, the planer, band saw, etc. Possibly one 4" run to the bench top.
So I am going to need some pipe clamps for my next project. Stopped by the local hardware store and found 3/4" Pony clamps for $12.99. I got the one on the shelf, and had them order me 4 more.
Also had them order me three 10' sections of 3/4" black iron pipe, threaded on both ends ($13 each)...
Was in the Habitat ReUse Store in Raleigh today, and they had a cart with mostly 1/2" type L copper for $5 a piece, and some 3/4" for $9. The sticks were a little less than full ten feet in length (8 1/2 - 9+ feet). Lowes sells 10' sticks for $15.35 plus tax. Only ten pieces went home with me...
I've been struggling with my dry fit "walk-through" for a dresser carcass. How to balance the 5' top and middle monster pipe clamps without 6 foot arms or a pogo stick to jump back and forth, where to keep my culls within reach and keep from falling out of place while I set the pipe clamps and...
While digging a trench for a pvc drain pipe today, I discovered a 4" solid corrugated pipe next to the trench I was digging. The pipe ran along the chimney at about 6" below ground and went deeper on each end of the chimney. The pipe was laying on the ledge of the chimney foundation and it...
I have quite a bit of 4" PVC pipe and fittings. In my current shop, I attempted to use it to set up a dust collection system but had little success.
In my new shop I would like to collect dust efficiently and all that I have read from books and dedicated sights and heard from the forums is...
In researching pro's and cons for using PVC pipe for dust collection, I ran across this essay. Very fascinating reading, from someone that is well versed with the physics behind it.

I hope ya'll will tell me I'm worrying for nothing......
Whilst under the house (no sewage stories this time), large runs of my water pipe is under or sitting in contact with the ground.
There is some green corrosion or, as I like to pretend it is, a patina of joy on some of the pipe...
Anyone use them? Are they as good or at least in the same ball park with k-model clamps? It would seem easy to just have different size pipes to adjust to whatever project. Would love to hear thoughts on them.
Also, are 1/2" size heavy duty enough to use for edge joining 3/4 boards? Or are...
My daughter is making a model of a DNA molecule for a science project and we would like to make a display by hanging it inside of a clear pipe. The model is about 4.5" wide and about 3' long and about 0.5" deep. Our idea is if we can find a clear pipe then I can drill some holes at strategic...
