Right, who is going to pay for the hundreds of dollars' worth of tools you use?

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!

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 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.

When I watch an expert using the Kreg Jig I get super impressed!! That laundry room idea was amazing!

[kathleenstapleton]

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 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 loved the laundry room table/cabinet idea! You made it look so easy to make!!!

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

[toughtimes]

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!

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 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.

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.

[williamgallaher]

Great ideas.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Stay strong and be safe.

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.

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.

The pvc drying rack is a good idea but the price of pvc has gone so high it is cost prohibitive and doesn’t look as if it will be better anytime soon.

[toddgardner]

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.

For $15 you can buy a pre made Rack at Walmart

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
