Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 175
Bike Cart
We built this cart for the kickstarter using Materials Needed
all T’s. We 3D printed pipe adapters to ● T Connectors
mount the mountain biking wheels. We ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
used a urethane rubber for the joint to the ● Urethane Rubber
bike, ● Mountain Biking Wheels
● ¾” EMT Conduit
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 177
Surfboard Rack
Here we have another great use of the Materials Needed
caster kit. This build was designed to hold ● T Connectors
multiple surfboards and has the ability to ● 4 Way Connectors
roll around for extra storage and mobility. ● Caster Kit
The use of pool noodles is great and ● Pool Noodles (optional)
protects the boards from the pipes. Check ● ¾” EMT Conduit
out more of the build photos here.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 178
Quilting Table/Cart
Another great hobbyist build that pairs Materials Needed
well with Maker Pipe and conduit. Again ● T Connectors
we have the added casters to make the ● 90 Degree Connectors
table mobile. It also incorporates a shelf ● Caster Kit
that overhangs a little for the added quilt ● Table Top
length. ● Shelving Material
● ¾” EMT Conduit
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 179
Gravity Cart
This cart was built with steering and Materials Needed
brakes and was designed for a gravity cart ● T Connectors
race. It was done several years ago by a ● ¾” EMT Conduit
father and son team. The axle runs
through the conduit.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 180
Brewing Cart
Another great hobby/passion build is this Materials Needed
at home brewing cart. It has a propane ● T Connectors
connection to heat up the pots, and a ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
pump that runs the homebrew between ● Caster Kit
the pots. ● Brewing Equipment

Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 181
Kayak Mover
If you have kayaks you know the struggle. Materials Needed
They are heavy and awkward which ● 90 Degree Connectors
makes them rather annoying to move ● T Connectors
around. With this simple cart you can ● Pool Noodles
strap the kayak to the top and roll it to the ● Wheels
launch site. One tip is to add pool noodles ● ¾” EMT Conduit
or plumbers insulation to the conduit to
protect the bottom of the yak.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 184
Kayak Mover #2
Here’s another great example of a kayak Materials Needed
cart with a slightly different design than ● 90 Degree Connectors
the other one we’ve seen. This one sits ● Pneumatic Wheels
lower to the ground and the yak supports ● Pool Noodle
run side to side rather than front to back. ● ¾” EMT Conduit
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 188
Bike Trailer
Using only a few T Connectors this builder Materials Needed
made a great functioning bike trailer! ● T Connectors
Perfect for rides where you have alot to ● Bike Wheels

Vehicle Racks
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 198
Jeep Rack
This roof rack was designed and shared by Materials Needed
a community member. He built this rack ● T Connectors
custom for his newer model Jeep ● 90 Degree Connectors
Wrangler. He built the frame with T’s and ● ¾” EMT Conduit
90 Degree Connectors then attached the
frame to the roof with screw straps.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 201
Conduit Carrier
EMT Conduit comes in lengths of 5 feet or 10.
If you get 10 foot sticks you can save a little Materials Needed
money, but if you don’t have a bed or some sort ● T Connectors
of vehicle with a long enough cargo area it can ● ¾” EMT Conduit
be tough to get conduit home. The builder of
this rack used conduit and Maker Pipe to build
a support frame that fits around the center
console so they can get 10 foot sticks home.
You gotta love the creativity!
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 204
Ladder Rack
This design is super simple, but adds a Materials Needed
much needed feature to this trailer. The ● T Connectors
builder attached vertical pipes to the side ● ¾” EMT Conduit
walls of the trailer and then used T’s for a
cross pipe. The result is a rack that lets
you store and transport materials or
ladders.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 206
Van Ladder
Another obstacle of van life is storage.
Travellers often turn to the roof when Materials Needed
looking for storage solutions. The only ● T Connectors
issue in storing things on a high roof is it ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
can be difficult to get up and down easy so ● ¾” EMT Conduit
you can get your stuff down. This builder
solved that problem with this DIY roof
ladder.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 214
Bike Rack
The builder of this bike rack wanted a way Materials Needed
to haul his fat tire bikes. He took an ● T Connectors
existing hitch basket and added a Maker ● Foam Noodles
Pipe frame that could hold up and ● ¾” EMT Conduit
transport two bikes.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 215

Holiday
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 235
Mobile Menorah
The Menorah is a symbol of Jewish faith Materials Needed
used in hanukkah celebrations. This ● T Connectors
particular one was attached to the back of ● 45 Degree Connectors
a truck and decorated. The builder does ● ¾” EMT Conduit
this every year to celebrate the holiday!
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 240
Sukkah
A Sukkah is a temporary structure that is used Materials Needed
for eating and sometimes sleeping during the ● T Connectors
Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The builder of this ● Tarp
particular hut wanted to reuse it every year so ● Roof Materials
he researched and found Maker Pipe as a ● ¾” EMT Conduit
solution. SInce the Connectors can easily be
removed and reused he can easily take it down
and rebuild it next year!
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 241
Pumping Man
The builder of this spooky halloween Materials Needed
decor wanted an extra level of scary for ● T Connectors
trick or treaters. He used conduit and a ● 45 Degree Connectors
handful of Connectors to make this 10 ● Foam Noodles
foot tall pumpkin man. He added a jack o’ ● ¾” EMT Conduit
lantern and lights to make it stand out
even more!
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 242
Decor Frame
This holiday display consists of a wide Materials Needed
conduit frame that uses T Connectors ● T Connectors
wherever the builder wants to add the ● ¾” EMT Conduit
decor. If they want to change a position
they can easily loosen and slide the
connectors along the frame.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 243
Indoor Menorah
This menorah was setup inside the Materials Needed
builders home, and used a different design ● T Connectors
than the mobile Menorah. Instead of ● 90 Degree Connectors
adding 45 Degree Connectors for slanted ● 180 Degree Connector
candle stands they used T and 90 Degree ● ¾” EMT Conduit
Connectors to make vertical candle
stands.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 246
Holiday Archway
Here is another yearly built decoration Materials Needed
that usually involves a PVC frame. This ● T Connectors
year the builder used Maker Pipe and ● ¾” EMT Conduit
conduit for the archway and she was
really happy with the sturdiness this year
compared to archways in years past!

Hobbies
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 248
Bebop bars
Each bar had a circuit connected to it so Materials Needed
that when you touched each bar the signal ● T Connectors
would run to the computer and speakers ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
would play a specific note. ● ¾” EMT Conduit
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 250
Treadmill Railing
The builder of this railing system needed Materials Needed
added safety on their treadmill. They ● T Connectors
came up with this simple frame that goes ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
around the treadmill sides and front. The ● End Caps
pipes were wrapped in foam to keep the ● Foam Noodles
runner safe and give them something to ● ¾” EMT Conduit
grab on to.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 251
Brew Stand
This simple brew stand was built by a Materials Needed
hobbyist who couldn’t find a solution for ● T Connectors
his equipment. Since the equipment is ● ¾” EMT Conduit
often mis matched it can be hard to find
the right stand. He built this one using T
Connectors and it fits his space perfect
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 253
Push Up Bars
This past year as left everybody suddenly Materials Needed
doing everything at home which includes ● T Connectors
exercise. The builder of these push up ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
bars had a couple of T Connectors left so ● ¾” EMT Conduit
he built these really simple push up bars.
He bent the conduit into an arch for the
handles then used the T’s to connect the
horizontal legs.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 255
Crutches
Spraining ankles is technically a hobby, but I still
wanted to share this build because it has a really
cool story. The builder had connectors and Materials Needed
conduit laying around waiting to be used on ● T Connectors
another project when his girlfriend hurt her ● Foam Noodles
ankle. It wasn’t bad enough to need medical ● ¾” EMT Conduit
attention, but she still needed to stay off the
ankle for a couple of days. He grabbed a few of
his connectors and 5 minutes later, DIY crutches!
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 258
Tiki Hut/Volcano
This project is very unique and you most Materials Needed
likely won’t be recreating the build unless ● T Connectors
you’re a Hawaii enthusiast, but this ● 45 Degree Connectors
project is awesome and shows the ● ¾” EMT Conduit
adaptability of Maker Pipe. A marching
band was in need of some inexpensive
props for their halftime show. Check out
the build notes and more photos here.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 260
Speaker Holder
You may recognize the canopy from Materials Needed
earlier and that’s because the same ● T Connectors
builder added this simple build on the ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
canopy frame. He used two T Connectors ● ¾” EMT Conduit
and utilized the open back of the speaker.
Really simple but an effective way to add a
speaker to his deck!

Seesaw
This seesaw was built for a local to us Materials Needed
school a few years ago. We used T ● T Connectors
Connectors to achieve the triangle shape ● Seat Material
that allowed the two riders to rock back ● Shrink Wrap (optional)
and forth! ● ¾” EMT Conduit
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 265
Blanket Fort
This was a really simple fort built by the Materials Needed
owners Dave and Kelly for their daughter ● T Connectors
Bailey. They used conduit and T ● Rubber Feet
Connectors to make a frame around the ● ¾” EMT Conduit
couch that would hold blankets for the
fort. They finished off the fort with rubber
feet along the two front legs to keep the
floor safe from exposed conduit ends.
Maker Pipe Build Anything Book Project # 266
Cannonball Race
This was built for one of the various Materials Needed
Maker Faires we attended a few years ● T Connectors
