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.
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.
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!
Guess you have not seen the price of PVC pipe lately,,, it is high was going to build a frame for a shed with a tarp on it heck it cost almost the price of a shed
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
I wish I'd thought of this sooner for myself as well, but if there's construction going on nearby you, like building a house that will need plumbing, maybe you can acquire some leftover piping from them. Couldn't hurt to ask, right? Shoot! They might even cut it for you. 🤔The fittings aren't that expensive, at least not at my Lowe's in VA. I just figure that what I will save on not having to run my dryer for things like jeans, towels, or throw rugs, thereby burning more electricity, the overall savings will be worth a few extra dollars, but that's just my opinion. I wish you luck.
That's quite a bit of weight for those little plastic doodads that you put in can't remember the name of them they make a lot better ones that actually will screw in to the sheetrock and it doesn't bust out the back and they hold a heck of a lot more weight than those little plastic ones personally if it was me I wouldn't have used those plastic ones like I said I would use their hangers that have a tip push them use your screw gun and they screw right on into the drywall like I said they don't blow out the back but that's just me as electrician I guess I overdo stuff cuz I'm used to hanging heavy equipment
That’s an expensive towel rack lol.. I also imagine the UV rays will oxidize and break that down fairly quickly, making it brittle and unusable. Electrical conduit may be more suitable…
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.
@@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!
I can not believe that you people live in Twilight Zone thinking that you can lay something heavy on a wall tabletop held up with little pieces of plastic. Tell me a story in five years.
Well...I may have said it more politely but you aren't wrong...people please do NOT trust those stupid little plastic anchors to hold something like this on the wall!!!!
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!
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.
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.
@@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
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.
Genius idea #1 is not cost efficient. Each of those many small PVC fittings is two or three dollars. One might find a ready made drying rack in housewares much less expensive. In today's war-caused inflation, nothing is cheap. Answer: buy as little and make as little as possible. The large hardware chains are the among the most inflationary parts of the economy.
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.
Walmart sells a drying rack for way less than half the material you used for this project. Theirs is also foldable. Why reinvent the wheel and spend more money doing it?
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
You can also use the pipe cutter that you basically spin around the pipe and tighten every couple of rotations. For the Murphy table, I would use poplar. It’s lighter and more durable than mdf.
Not sure how much this would cost all up in the US, but when you live in a small isolated country with F... all real competition I'm looking ate about US$170.00 of PVC sitting on the bench prices at the main brand local manufacturer. A cloths rack off the shelf would be 1/4 the price, sadly.
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!
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.
@@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. 🙂
Idea number 2, the plastic anchors are not meant to hold a heavy piece of furniture like that cabinet/table. I hope the drywall holds up for ya. Nice build though.
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.
Great ideas.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Stay strong and be safe.
I'm 54 years old and that is the best little cabinet I've ever seen in a washroom. AWESOME!!

Lol for the price of the pvc you can probably just by a laundry rack that's even foldable.
Great idea! Will try this myself.
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!!
Murphy cabinet is cool 👍
The pvc is a pretty cool idea. You could also use threaded pipe for a heavy duty steampunk version.
This is def getting saved with my If You Build It video list.
We made a rolling clothing rack from pvc pipes and adapters, just had to remember how it went back together after moving. 😅
Put an ironing blanket on the surface and you also have an ironing board
Suprise!! Wait until you have to pay for it STICKER SHOCK!!! IF IF you can find the pieces !! Good luck with that!!

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.

100%
The amount of time and money you'd use for the PVC pipe idea is more than it would cost to buy the same thing. 😆 🤣 😂
1/2" PVC to hold car mats or wet towels? Common, that's a wobbly mess that will not be worth the time in making, sorry.
What did the second part have to do with pvc??
Please show the finished product before we have to watch the entire video so we know if we are interested! Certainly would help, thanks!
For the cost of that pvc piping could have just brought a clothes airer, get more on the airer too plus folds away too.
Get some PVC pipes and cling film and make a greenhouse
That's a great idea
Have you priced out PVC lately? This will cost over 60 bucks to make.
Why not just go buy a rack? Probably cheaper and not as time consuming to assemble.
Clearly the Murphy table is the big winner in the comments!
That's not anchored properly it will fall sooner than later , it would pay to put a 2×4 into the wall and repair the wall .....
Just so you know, in Canada those pipes are 30 dollars each.
this looks not olnly easy but fun and u sound like the bob ross of carpentry..lol but thanks i will make soon !!

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.
