Not only will you get an insight on how to go about building your own panel but measuring PVC the proper way is addressed in the video as well. This constructive video is provided by the fine people of Expert Village. Keep in mind that to create this diffusion panel you should be using a PVC pipe about seven feet long. Just like they say in their motto sit back, watch, and learn something new today. The uses of PVC are truly endless!

Music Fun With PVC

The power of PVC brings music to my ears! Often I found myself interested in the Blue Man Group and all of their creativity. Looking at this video above you can tell that I am not the only person who is influenced by this spectacular group. His instrument is majority PVC pipes of all different sizes. I personally am more impressed by the talent factor. In my downtime I will search for a really good tutorial on how to make one of these neat instruments for yourself. Most PVC pipes used can be found on PVCFittingsDirect.com at great prices. Enjoy the video ladies and gentlemen!

Rock Band Meets PVC?

I know I have been absent for a while but today I bring you another wonder that PVC fittings can create. The video above shows a custom Rock Band drum support mod made from standard PVC pipes. With the new release of Rock Band 2 I think this mod will come very handy to most people who own the game and drum with fun. Best of all by using PVC pipe fittings the mod is inexpensive and does not void the warranty at all! So what are you waiting for? The list of materials includes T fittings, 45 degree fittings, and last but not least PVC piping. Happy modding and gaming!

Whoever said PVC pipes had few uses has never seen creativity like this. In the video Bre Pettis joins with builder Bill Gurstelle to bring us this guided tutorial. Even if you don’t have the urge to create your own catapult the video is still a good watch of the endless uses of PVC fittings. Enjoy!

Hard To Reach PVC Pipe Cutting

In this next video we look at a unique way to cut PVC pipes when remodeling your home. This technique is more used on adjacent areas of the home. Truly it’s more of a protective technique than anything else. Very little to none tools are needed as shown by Bob Schmidt. When wanting to make a cut in any mounted PVC pipe or fitting keep this video in mind. I hope this helps!

PVC as a Wood Substitute

We here at PVCFittingsDirect.com love working with PVC Pipes and PVC Pipe Fittings. So much, in fact, that we decided to see how much you could do with PVC outside of plumbing and irrigation systems. Man, were we shocked to find some of the things that people have made with PVC Pipes and PVC Pipe Fittings. We’ve been posting some of the videos of the things we’ve found and today we are going to give you some instructions on how to make a bird feeder out of PVC Pipe and PVC Pipe Fittings.

What you need are two threaded end caps or clean-out fittings, a 4” PVC Pipe about 3-4 feet long and 1 y-joint. Attach one clean-out joint to the top of the PVC Pipe, and the y-joint to the bottom. Attach the final threaded clean-out joint to the bottom of the y-joint. Since these are threaded, you can fill the feeder when you are finished. To mount the feeder, you can just brace it to a fence or tree with wires, or drill holes on either side of the pipe and run a wire to hang the feeder from a tree branch.

Once you are all done, hang it up and wait for the birds to come for a quick bite. You can also get creative and use additional y-joints to make more feeding spots for more than one bird at a time.
