How to build stuff with PVC (Basic Tutorial) 

Clear, concise, and everything I was looking for.

You helped me A LOT, sir. I'll try to make a raised garden bed and some other stuff in my yard

This was a great intro into building with pvc pipe, it greatly widened my perpsctives. Thank you!

Another good trick for bending PVC pipe is using hot sand. Heat up clean sand in your electric frying pan or whatever appliance you have that will work to around 300 degrees (note yard sand will smell really bad, do it outside), tape one end of the pipe you want to bend shut, fill the pipe with hot sand (use a metal funnel, a plastic one will melt) tape that end closed and bend it to the shape you want. Sometimes on a smaller diameter pipe, you will need to fill it with hot sand twice to get it bendable or use the heat gun to give it additional heat. The advantage of this method is that you can heat a much longer section of pipe and you can bend it in much more ways like making a spiral and tighter bends, the sand inside will prevent the pipe from collapsing on itself.

I enjoyed your video. I flatten 3” pvc to make a scabbard for my chainsaw, for my tractor I made one which attaches to the tractor and allow me to carry my saw on the tractor.

Great content. Wish I had seen this before I tried my last PVC construction. Looking forward to seeing more.

If you do not need a super straight cut in a pvc or other plastic pipe etc run a piece of survey nylon string around it and pull it back and forth the friction heat will cut right through it VERY QUICKLY. I learned this doing underground utilities work with 1ft diameter pvc pipe. Try it yourself you will be amazed how well it works. It helps to score the pipe in one spot to get a precise starting point.

Thank you! This is helpful.

Awesome and very informative

Interesting. Europe is missing this kind of piping. We have dark Grey PVC-U for the pool, we can glue. White or green PPr heat joined or copper. PE is used only for cold water and mainly outside the house and/or irrigation . Steel tubing or Henco, is not used any more

These are some great tips!

Thanks for the great idea❤

Dude ! I'm impressed ! gotta find time to watch more of your videos. GLHF

Great video, thank you for sharing!!!

This video is a masterclass. Why do you have only 1000 views?

I am a DIY woodworker, but I am always looking for ways to expand my resume. This video is terrific! Thank you!

Regarding PVC burning: it produces dioxin - the very same, highly toxic leak that caused the Seveso (Italy) place to be evacuated in 1976. All plastic's fumes are toxic, but PVC's are in the higher places of the ranking: that's why PVC is not usually labeled as "recyclable".

Ive been looking into creating pvc wings, this will be a great help!

If I make a walking staff out of PVC, will filling it with epoxy help to "stiffen" it up? It's not very rigid and tends to flex and wobble more than I'd like. How can I make it more rigid?

Yo funny!
