you could use pvc, painted any color, in the kitchen for all of your spoons, flippers, spatulas, etc. also a fishing idea i tried was that i used a 3 inch pvc with end caps about 12 inch long and tied about 10 ft of para cord around it to my dads fishing pole bottoms. that way when he loses a rod it will float to the top. we use a similar idea for a minnow trap. just drill holes through a 3 inch with end caps and hang it out of the boat
wish we had youtube when I was a kid. This is the 5th section I have seen today and most of them would have been great growing up. Way to go with everthing and keep making them.
Buying a cutting board for the kitchen is expensive.Use 4" pvc as a cutting board.Cut the length you want, then cut it in half. Use heat gun to strighten it out.
I just found your videos and am going through all of them. On that underwater viewer you can get thin wall white drain pipe that already has a black inside and that eliminates the painting.
That one you made to hold the cups in the water - if you do it with wires and light fixtures instead of water bottles on the ends it could be outdoor lighting. Just a suggestion.
For your rags idea, go to garage sales and find golf towels. High quality towel and usually have a grommett attached and a shower curtain clip on them so you can hook that to your belts as you work and always have it handy. The clip can also be hung to a nail in the wall of your shop or several spots in your shop.
A friend of mine from years ago wanted to string her Speakers from her family room into the Dinning Room and the Living Room. But at the time, wireless was not around and the wires were going to be insane to control. Her house was a slab foundation with pretty much no crawl space in the roof top area. So, we put holes in the walls at the bottom near the floor. We put a piece of PVC in the hole with flange like caps on both ends. So that she now had a small tube going from one room to the next to send her wires through. Looked great and worked really well. No holes for bugs to get into the house, and was clean looking to those that might have seen it.
You are a PVC expert man...i like your videos..I use PVC pipes in my garden for deep rooting system,i drill holes on it and dig it near small tropical trees..also i use it for stump protection ,to avoid damage from mowing and edging..
I had a suggestion for another way of doing a bungee cord holder. What about making something more similar to your wall shoe holder except that there are holes drilled across the top of the PVC to hold the hooks of the bungee cords. Then the bungee cords aren't under tension. And it's easy to spot the length. This wouldn't be portable but it would be an easy way to wall-mount it in a workshop . 😊
You can take a piece of 3" or 4" PVC pipe and cut notches in it along one side a touch bit bigger than a CD case. Attach the toilet flange to the bottom and you have a CD stand. It can be painted to suit you fancy or add a light in the bottom to make it a dual purpose fixture. The bungee cord holder is great for holding some tools or other vehicle related items as long as you seal one end by setting the plug back into it.
re: pvc fitting are expensive...I buy them at yard sales whenever I see them and store them in my shop for projects. When you start thinking about pvc it just appears. Stay positive
The use of slip x thread male adapters with a female threaded cap works better than male threaded plugs as this system prevents grit from binding the threads also a lubricant can be applied to the threads for ease of removal.
Re #9. If you want a hiding place, you can do 2 things. 1) the hollow 4" table legs can be filled with the things you want to store/hide 2) do the same as #1 but in the 3" pipe that would be inserted into the 4" You would have to ensure easy access from the foot of the leg if you are going to use frequently. Or have the legs secured having only access with a screw driver or something to that effect.
Lots of great ideas. @6:15 with Trackers underwater KEY scope may I suggest gluing a couple of flat, round super magnets to the edge of the 'window' then you can capture keys and other stuff. On the other side of the tube a hook made of coat hanger wire. Now when the water is deeper you can save your self getting wet rescuing stuff. Oh! and use a small led touch inside the tube to light the way for dark water.
Number 7 would be great kids item to use exploring under water without goggles. Thanks for your upbeat presentation and ideas, would be great to see all steps of construction on one of your most popular videos, a pvc tutorial.
I'm hooked on your videos. I'm on a tiny income budget and need 4 dining room chairs for my table. I want to make them using pvc pipes. Can you tell me how to do it please? Thank you.
I used PVC to fill and drain my 55 gallon fish tank, 1" pvc pipe, a 90 degree facing up, and a 90 degree facing down, a coupler was needed to reach my tank. I took the up facing put it under my kitchen sink faucet, and placed the other end into the tank. As for draining, I used the PVC attached to a shop vac to suck the water and sand out of the tank.
Can you build something that can roll up with a crank-like handle a solar pool cover or weather pool cover. It would be helpful in opening a pool, and for storing these vital pool protection items that are sometimes difficult to handle without the help of many people. Thanks
wild life self feeder I use a 6 inch y for the bottom with a 4 foot piece of 6 inch coming up with a 6 inch threaded cap on top then all you do is screw some metal screen to the bottom for drainage. fill up pipe with whatever you want to feed the animals around you and they eat out of the leg of the year. I like to paint mine camouflage to blend in. hope you like it
The project that you made for holding rags would also work nicely for holding plastic grocery bags from shopping. If you think throwing the bags away is a good idea, look on RU-vid to see how many different things you can make from plastic bags. I crochet and use the bags as yarn. I have made bathroom mats from them as well as purses and shopping bags.
just one more storage solution...my knitting machine has 40" long fragile 'combs' with tiny wire teeth...naturally..they are hard to keep straight and usable....I bought 2" pipe with 2 caps and glued a new kitchen sponge inside to cushion the ends of the combs. I use basically the same thing in a shorter version to store my knitting needles...except for that one I used 2"wide clear tape to mount a measuring tape on the side so it does double duty. I like your table legs and want to know if they fit tightly enough to sit inside the bracket with no glue/screws... I would love to be able to have 2 or 3 sets of legs (dining height..kids' table height and cutting table (sewing) height.... can we just pop them on and off or do they need to be mounted permanently? Either way....thanks for your idea-sharing... I love the moveable solar yard lights... I've begun to think of these as rechargeable flashlights...I have porch lights..of course..but I still have a solar light right beside the steps so I can pick it up and use it if I have to go out after dark for some item or errand... it goes all the way to the car with me and then back again when I get home...better than buying batteries and it's doing double duty as yard light when not with me....I live in the country....the nearest street light is one of our two traffic lights...
+deemail100 The table legs should work for you. The smaller 3 inch pipe fits more snug into the bracket than the 4 inch. As long as the table does not get moved around, they should stay firmly in place. You should be able to find them at most home improvement stores and test them before buying them.Great ideas on your other uses.
+Specific Love Creations thanks for the info...I live an hour from the nearest Home Depot and Lowe's...so it's difficult to pop over and check...I appreciate your time.
Run out of gasoline. Glue a 45 degree elbow onto an 8-10 inch piece of 1/2 inch PVC. It will fit through the protective cover on most automobiles. Put a funnel in the 45 degree end then you can fill the tank from any size or shape of gasoline can.
You can make your own acid neutralizer for high efficiency gas appliances. 12" x 2" PVC, weld-on cap on one side, male adapter and female cap for the other side. Drill holes through the ends. Thread in barb fittings in each hole (fitting and size to match the tube size of your condensate drainage. Fill canister with crushed lime screenings that you have rinsed out the powder. Connect it all together and you've saved over a hundred dollars retail from any HVAC contractor. You can replace the lime screenings easily by unscrewing the cap. Do aG search of condensate neutralizer, then see what they charge.
I havent seen a of these yet so im not sure if you covered this buuut. If you take acetone or fingernail polish it will clean off the writing on the PVC for those house items.
my tip for cutting 3 days inch and bigger diameter pvc: I wrap a belt around it, to draw a straight line around the circumference. Hopefully this helps someone.
Great ideas to up cycle those PVC pipes! Videos are very well made and preparation to this end is evident. I am inspired to get to work and replicate some of these ideas and/or, come up with other uses for these great pipes!
I just did a search for diff ways to use pvc and found your channel.... 💁🏻♀️ I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! ❤️ P.S. I wouldn’t call this an idea per-say; but a suggestion to add to your drink float hack @8:08..... I haven’t bought those tiny water bottles since my kids were toddlers and I know they can sometimes be pricey and/or hard to find in store..... I was wondering if it would be ok to cut a dollarstore pool noodle into each length of pvc for the same result??? You would know better than me. I just wanted to share that w ya ~ 😉 Keep up the good work! I was SO GLAD to find more pvc videos one after another! You totally made my day!!! 👍
I like reading books in my sky chair which is in my living room, your third idea is really brilliant to keep my books off the floor. Thumbs up for me 👍
Great ideas keep them coming eventually everything will be made from PVC. You could fill the legs of the table with sand to make them harder to tip over.
I built the frame for my front door outta pvc then wrapped it all in plastic wrap and duct tape to keep the wind out. Its awesome! I feel like I am living in a fortress now.
1-1/2" PVC 30" long attaching to your fishing chair with wire ties 2 ties for the front leg & 2 ties for the back leg. Place 1 tie around leg lose place the other tie threw the lose tie tighten the tie on the leg as tight as you can making sure the second is more than 1-1/2 make sure it will fight around the 1-1/2 PVC. The back leg will be adjustable moving up & down making it 45D TO 0D. For your fishing pole.
At a Fantasy Gaming Convention I went to one year. A girl had used PVC to create a Fantasy Magic like staff with a light at the top that looked like a gem. The Batteries were inside the PVC and she just painted the PVC, wrapped a bunch of tape and other stuff on it, and disguised the PVC so that it looked like a staff. When she grabbed it in a specific spot, the top lit up.
Pleasure giving them. Just stuff I remember from way back and such. I will keep giving them. I am sure you have done or heard a lot of them, but still, who knows. :D
When I go camping I often wish I could throw up a quick shelter so I could cook without getting soaked by rain. I thought of PVC pipes which could be fitted together on-site, covered with plastic sheeting. what do you think?
my pvc idea is for the kayak dolly. I use the scupper holes in the kayak. The rig is basically a big u with mower wheels mounted for locomotion. The design depends on the Kayak design
pvc fence posts and pvc gutters for gutters use 6 or 8 inch pipe and cut the side of it out different homes will be different measurements based on the roof type and the porch type but for starters cut 1inch of the pipe off the complete lenth all the way down the side of the pipe a band saw can make this cut alot faster, safer and easier
A small piece of plastic that sinks to the bottom of the pool for kids or adult to go swim down and retrieve I've made a few for my pool and there very fun

Haven't had time to look through all of your vids, maybe you have covered this but I'll throw it out here. I use an appropriate size piece of pvc with end caps (not glued) to store a mad assortment of reciprocating saw blades. Easy to transport, keep together, dry, good hacks!
The place where I do archery uses the same thing that you showed for the door/table hack to hold arrows. They use the smaller one and it works great! :D
For real these vids are awesome! The chum canister from your last vid was genus!!! I have been doing a lot of these pvc hacks for sometime but you real do learn something new everyday. The chum pvc canister idea was GOLDEN!!!!!!!!
