Schedule 40 PVC

bobalooie57 - 13-11-2010 at 10:24 PM

There wasn't much wind today, so I put together a video of some things I've made with sched.40 pvc. I built a pulk, or tow handle, which can also be used as a tow bar to tow another buggy, or can be used to tow the buggy with a bicycle. I also used it to make a mounting mast for the camera, using a sched 40 "T" to make a clamp for the axle. It's a little long, and the audio isn't so great, I wasn't using my "stage" voice because my neighbors already think I'm crazy! It may still be processing, it was over 3 hrs uploading!

While at work today I came across some leftover PVC electrical conduit chunks and right away thought of this thread. I'm gonna get about 8 lengths of 1" conduit 7 feet long and string a rope through each one of them with loops on the ends. The ropes and conduits will be hung from my basement ceiling on a horizon where I can drape my kites over them to dry. Will post pics the first time I get it in use.

Cheers
