I'm making the PVC drying rack today. My yard is too small for a clothesline but with this rack I can either set it out in the sun on my deck or use it in the basement during the winter. I just need something to dry things like jeans, towels, throw rugs...you know, heavy stuff that takes too much time burning electricity in the dryer. Here's the shopping list in case ya'll wanna make one yourself.
• 4 10-ft lengths of 1/2" pvc pipes
o Cut at 36” x 11
o Cut at 15.5" x 2
o Cut at 3" x 8
• 8 corners (or socket elbows as they are called at Lowe's)
• 6 T-fittings
Hope this is helpful. Aloha!
YOu know they have one post clotheslines.
Ya. I wish I could have an old fashioned post clothesline. HOA won’t allow it.
Please show the finished product before we have to watch the entire video so we know if we are interested! Certainly would help, thanks!
I did stuff like this for my children when they were young. Cut all kinds of pvc, pipes with connectors and made all kinds of forts, tents and hideaways, we all had a blast.
When we were done, everything broke down and put the pipes in a small holder and the connectors in a bag.
What memories.
That is awesome!
You sound like a wonderful dad.
I'd like to see you do videos of those.. I need ideas and projects to do with my youngling 🤗🤗🤣
That’s brilliant! I wish I’d have known that, or had the creative mind to think of it
Did any of your children become engineers?
Love that cupboard.
I loved the laundry room table/cabinet idea! You made it look so easy to make!!!
Nice 👍!
Every woman should own a Craig jig. [Kidding].
It’s not hard but not as EZ as she made it look. There was a lot of editing.
Me too

I used to use PVC pipe and fittings for many DYI projects. The price has increased nearly 3x since the beginning of 2022 making other options a far better choice.

The heavy cabinet in idea 2 won't last long with plastic anchors in drywall. Plastic anchors are for concrete block and similar materials. There are many other choices for mounting to drywall (toggle bolts, Molly bolts etc.) but nothing you use will make drywall a good structural mounting material for heavy objects like the cabinet. Find studs or install backing material of some sort if you want it to last.
I agree.
you'd think that a strip of wood painted to match the wall, which could span the studs would be a better option. i'm cringing, thinking of this thing crashing down. all the effort.......
A plastic rawlplug absolutely can hold in plasterboard. There are ones are for concrete but also ones made for plasterboard
The only way they are coming out is of enoug force is pulling one directly out of the wall and that force is great enought to sheer the threads of the screws out of the plastic. In this case theres very little weight actually puling on the screw, as with most cases like this that majority mof the weight is hanging off the screw. Even with a cleat system, the only force pulling on the screw is any leverage thats occuring and there doesn't seem to be very much with how shallow the box is.
I'd trust those to hold my body weight.
Cases like this aren't great for something like a floating shelf where there's a lot of leverage pulling the screw directly outwards and it need to be really tight to ensure the shelf doesn't slope down.
Almost anything quick is short lived by definition yet it never ceases to allude us of its obvious principal.
What a wonderful world. 😂
@@ge2719it is pulling away from wall, it's a French cleat, basically a wedge that pulls away from wall.
Nice idea on the PVC. I have done similar stuff. I have only one suggestion. I found that it is so light that it often blows over with the slightest bit of wind. I poured some sand into the pipes before I totally sealed them. This really helped. Great video.
Love me some PVC pipe lol. I even made a greenhouse from PVC that has a drip watering system built in. Great ideas💞 I definitely need a Kreig Jig!
Are you serious about the greenhouse? That is amazing. Love to see that.
@@GoodlyEarth 💯 serious. Found instructions here on YT then added a water hose connection and simply drilled drip holes in the top supports. I can control the water flow from the connection and spent less than $40 on it. Used sand in the pipes for stability and bought clear shower curtains from Dollar Tree 🤣 We are upgrading after this year to greenhouse plastic, the shower curtains just don't last but a season or so.
That sounds AMAZING! You should post your project on Hometalk.com! (www.hometalk.com)
And the great thing about pvc is it doesn’t leach chemicals into the food or water! Amazing. Isn’t industrial plastics wonderful
I've used PVC pipe to make a cage around my blueberry bushes with bird netting over it. That way I got more blueberries than the birds did.
I love that idea thank you
When I watch an expert using the Kreg Jig I get super impressed!! That laundry room idea was amazing!
That towel rack was pretty impressive too! ;)
@@Hometalk I'm sitting at work on my lunch break laughing so hard. Yes, it was impressive. Want to know a secret. The guy who built the towel rack also built the cool pool bridge you see in the background!
Yes. Unusually useful and very beautiful.
Great ideas.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Stay strong and be safe.
Excellent videos thanks
Right, who is going to pay for the hundreds of dollars' worth of tools you use?
About time someone said something about these DIY things, most don’t have all the tools at their disposal and so I don’t get thrown to the wolves, the DIY stuff is amazing and one day I’ll get to try them all!
Very Nice!
Brilliant idea to maximize storage and create a useful workspace. Clearly, you know your way around woodworking projects and you have an eye for design. Well done!
The reality is setting in
Good ideas! Thank you! Take care and stay safe!
I loved the second idea, really useful.
This is good!
The folding table & storage is just awesome!!
I'm definitely building one for my house.
I have been making things with PVC pipe for almost 25yrs. My favorite was a tube chassis racing simulator cockpit with 2" Charlotte brand pvc pipe. JM Eagle is less expensive but more flexible and comes in 8ft length. Charlotte is significantly more rigid but a lot more expensive and generally can only be found in 2ft lengths. If weight is not a concern or you want things heavier and need rigidity I have also filled PVC pipe with Cement + Flow Control. It makes the cement act more "liquidy". Just make sure to plan your pour so that it has a direct path to the bottom and a way for air to escape so you don't have voids. Sometimes this may mean filling something in a few sections progressively. It's also worth noting that PVC us not particularly UV stable so I would definitely paint anything that is going to be outside or in direct sunlight.
Will paint protect it from UV? Any particular kind of paint or just any paint?
@@ed7519 I would suggest spray paint made for plastics like Fusion and stick to a lighter color as light colors reflect more UV light. Skuffing the surface with a fine grit sandpaper just to take off the sheen will also help it stick better or you can use a spray adhesion promotor.
@@nroman1977 Thanks for the info. I was just gonna spray paint it white whatever...I will be more conscious of what choose now...makes sense, as it will go outside on occassion. 🙂
My daughter would love something like this, she's missing just two things: 1) wall space big enough to hang it on, and 2) floor space big enough to open it up.
Nice project, great idea! As a woodworker, I learned the hard way that cutting the MDF as you did is quite dangerous. Because it is not supported in the middle, it pinches the blade which can create a very dangerous situation called kickback. Best to support the panel with 4 pieces of wood instead of 2, so that the entire panel is supported throughout the cut.
Thanks for the tip!
@@Claudia-lq3ns You bet! If I can save just one person from being a victim of “kickback” it will be worth it.
That goes for any piece of wood you're cutting. And probably best to clamp it down.
Ya don't get kick back if you first apply a liberal ammount of milk on the timber then wipe and cut the milk acts like a balm to the cutting edge
100%
Lol for the price of the pvc you can probably just by a laundry rack that's even foldable.
Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
I'm 54 years old and that is the best little cabinet I've ever seen in a washroom. AWESOME!!
Awesome guy's thanks so much😃
Love it "unsually usefull " u said it ..right and thank you
Thank you. Nice video
In that laundry room project, that wall has a stud every 16 inches. Your project table and the cleat are greater than the space between the studs... I highly suggest that you locate the stud that you missed and get one good solid anchor. Also the cleat is likely 1/2 inch.. adding a half inch block at the lower edge of the shelf will help protect the wall and allow for vertical stability.
I was thinking she needs to find the stud also if she expects to keep detergent & etc on the shelves. Otherwise sooner or later it'll fall.
@@brotherjames2204 Or at least choose better drywall anchors. Toggles or something that holds up to the motion of raising and lowering those legs. I wouldn't want to see the heartbreak of putting all of her creative heart into a project and then have the wall deteriorate to the point that she ends up storing that shelf in the garage as a "one day I will get this back up" project.
Why not just spend $30 at Wally's on a cubby rack that reaches the ground and leave the wall alone??? More storage and the pla k can be placed from the washer to the dryer... Space saver and nothing in the middle of the walkway...
I cut 12" lengths, used T's and 90 degrees for the outside edge. I used 12" lengths and X connectors to make a 4' by 8' grid then I lifted it on top of a wooden frame. Zip tied plastic fencing to it. Then attached a tarp to it as a winter/summer cover for my dog pens
WOW EXCELLENT - THANKS FOR SHARING 👌
Awesome!! Thank you.
The first video with the PVC pipe towel rack...you could fill the pipes with sand to make it so it won't blow over. Where I live, it's 15 MPH winds 8 months a year.
That is an excellent idea!
F A N T A S T I C. !!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing. 20/10♥♥♥
I’m going to make this!
Me too. I wrote out the shopping list for us all. Like just a few minutes ago. Have fun!!
Excellent. Thank you for sharing
This channel is legit! Much better than 5-minute crafts. The stuff they make on here is solid, cool and functional. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas/projects and most of all, thanks for taking us through the steps to make the stuff and including instructions and measurements.
It's very nice, but i promise you. The fact that you didn't secure it anywhere within a stud, one day you're going to hear a loud BOOM and your nice cabinet will be on the floor and a large piece of drywall with it..
It's your home, I don't want to tell you how to do your job in your home. But instead of the french cleat, You should've left an extra 1/2" piece of wood of the top & bottom back of your cabinet, left a 3 to 4 inch of free space on the top back or your cabinet, placed a longer piece of melamine or whatever you wish to use in which you can color it the same color as your cabinet and make it look like it's part of the cabinet, screw that plank to the wall, "longer if you need too, to make sure you hit a few studs "at least 2"" and overlap that extra 1/2" piece on the back of your cabinet over that wall plank "like you would do with the french cleat" and just ad a few screws here and there.
You have that nice large light switch on the wall, right next to it. You could've used it as a decoration pattern and placed a nice long piece of white melamine that went for your window siding to your door frame. Just higher. It would've looked nice and decorative PLUS, you would've seen a massive difference in stability and strength to your wall. Cause the wall plank would be carrying the weight of the cabinet, not the screws, drywall & a small piece of aluminum.
It's just a suggestion. But you did a beautiful job with it. Congratulations. It was just an observation not a critic.
In case you skip ahead to see if you want to watch the whole thing like I do, the pvc project is shown completed at 3:08 and the end shows another completed project using wood, in the laundry room.
Thanks appreciated
Awesome ideas. Thank you.
AMAZING .I LOVE IT.
Wonderful ideas
That table is awesome , great job !!!!
OMG, I Love Both of These Projects ❣️. Thank You for Sharing 🤗.
May God Bless You and Your's, Barbara 🙏🦋
I use pvc and pvc glue to make a lot of things. My favorite that I have made is the soft light box for taking photos of my sculptures. I didn't use the pvc glue for that though so that I could disassemble it to store when not in use. Heidi
That is a great idea. You need to share that idea sometime.
@@GoodlyEarth it's online already. I found out that idea from a UA-cam video
I ran out and got everything its....... COMPLETE lol ......thank you very much!!!! i love it.
excellent idea times two😁😊
Great job! Thank You
This is small potatoes I made a 10 x 10 greenhouse out of it with Plastic sheeting around it and on the roof worked out great😊😊😊😊😊😊 I also made a 15 x 15 pool cover or actually a frame and then you throw the tarp over that and it went up about 1 foot to make a peak like a dome. You can do a lot of stuff with this. Don’t be afraid to use it.
I used pvc to pipe draft beer through out the house......stuffs amazing.
Really useful. Thanks.
Wow, that is great, thanks
BRILLANT
For $15 you can buy a pre made Rack at Walmart
Loved both projects but am in love with the table!
multifunction-great stuff & blackboard too.
Just want to know what brand should i get for pvc pipe cutter.. tnx
Husky has an inexpensive brand, great buy!
The parts for the PVC stand would far exceed a similar manufactured product. Each moulded part would cost £4-£5.
The second project is cool.
Thank you! I ❤ this channel for all it's how to's, ideas and inspirations! Keep 'em comming! 🙏👍👋👏
Good suggestions and ideas .
Excellent idea for pvc pipes
Thanks for sharing !! Both ideas are very useful i may make three of the second one for wife and daughter, who has her own home, and myself (work shop).
That is a really great project!!!!! Good job
The Murphy cabinet--I bought one of these. I wanted a small desk and had limited space. Worked beautifully. Kept it open but could close it if we had people over and needed the room. It got questions when it was closed--what was that beautifully finished wooden thing on the wall? They were fascinated by the thing and surprised to see what it was!
If you don’t mind me asking where did you purchase yours at? 😊
Awesome & very creative
Cool! 👍
Two great projects
Cool beans tyfs💯😁❤👏🏾👏🏾
LOVE THIS!!
luv it
Wow! That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Pro Tip: You START the video with the FINISHED PROJECT otherwise you've made clickbait and wasted our time.
Great work!!
This guy was very clear at what he was doing you didn't you left out the details
Great video!
Bravo 🎈
Great ideas!!
So so brilliant .. well done and thank you for the idea from South Africa xx
Making it out of crappy PVC is more expensive than buying a nicer one from Walmart.
Excellent
Love both of these.
Cool
Loved both ideas! Thank you for sharing!
The Murphy table/cabinet is brilliant!
Brilliant love them all 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
great stuff! thanks.
neat idea. I would have gone with toggle anchors for mounting the cleat though. those plastic anchors can wiggle loose.
Very interesting project, I'd like to try this
i made a volley ball/ badminton set for my back yard by putting pvc poles in buckets and pouring concrete in the buckets and adding eyelets on the poles at levels for the volley ball and badminton nets then topping the poles with pipe end pieces. have had these for years now.
THE PVC SHELF WAS PHENOMENAL 🎯🎯🎯..I LOVE IT ! THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO, WELL DONE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love the pvc idea
It's fantastic for hanging delicates that cant go in the dryer.
1.1 million views. Wow!! In Eight days
Is it more economical price wise? Or just buying a a ready made, some assembly? Thanks
I didn't build anything, just bought it, but I think it works well to solve the yard flooding problem I had. I bought some of those deep drip watering stakes that go in the ground to allow water to get in the ground faster. A handyman used some kind of big drill machine to make the holes in ground and put the stakes in, filling the holes with the dirt after. I bought some red paint to paint the tops because they're beige and can blend in with surroundings.
I think you should show the completed item at the beginning of the video. How else will I know what you're building and whether I want to make one?
love that table too at end!!!wow she is really gonna get alot of use out of that!!i wish i had one
Nice ‼️
How nice and useful !!
You must be a very skilled person!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
