Build a cake structure using pvc pipes for a 3D character figure

Make a cake structure for a standing figure. Tools needed: Drill, Philips head drill bit, 7/8 inch spade bit, PVC cutter, ruler
Materials needed: inch thick wooden board for the base, 5 & 4 inch round wooden cake boards, 2 floor flange (galvanized), wood screws #12 x 3/4 inch, Con-Tact paper
The PVC pipe and fittings all need to be 1/2 inch: pvc pipe, (2) pvc pipe adapters (slip x threaded), (4) 90 degree elbow slip (socket x spigot), Tee Slip, 4 way adapter slip, (2) 45 degree elbow slip, (2) coupling (slip),
At the very top of my structure, I used an additional 90 degree elbow slip (socket x spigot) because my figure will have a ponytail.

Where did you use the coupling (slip) when building the arm? It looks similar to the normal PVC pipe ones that you had cut so couldn't really notice the difference. Thank you for the detail video on building the cake structure, it was very helpful when I was at Home Depot...lol

Starting at the four way adapter, you place about an inch of the 1/2 inch pvc pipe, then the 45 degree, an inch of the 1/2 inch pvc pipe, followed by the 90 degree

Out of curiosity what’s your approximate cost look like on a support like this?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

About $20 depending on how much the wood in your area is. I’m able to have them cut a few pieces when I pick out my a longer piece of wood at Lowes.
