Everyone will be buying PVC pipe after seeing this genius idea!

[@auntiebagel4788]

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.

[@livewireOrourke]

I agree.

[@lurklingX]

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.......

[@ge2719]

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.

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.

[@davekoser3938]

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.

[@Claudia-lq3ns]

Thanks for the tip!

[@davekoser3938]

@@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.

@@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.

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.

[@nroman1977]

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]

Will paint protect it from UV? Any particular kind of paint or just any paint?

[@nroman1977]

@@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.

[@toddgardner6355]

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]

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.

[@toddgardner6355]

@@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.

[@Boycott-Ai-NOW]

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...

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.

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.

Like the rack in first project, already have one to dry area rugs. 2cd project, didn’t need the extra storage. Cut out the drywall and one frame stud. Put cross studs to reinforce the frame stud with a cut out section. Cut an MDF board to fit inside the framing studs. Attached hinge to the bottom and the bottom cross board. Two small chains were attached to support the MDF board once laid out. When closed, the board was flush with the drywall and added a decorative frame and a little knob to pull out.

That’s what I did. Did not need storage, so I built an ironing board into the wall with a flush decorative cabinet door.

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.
