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.
That is awesome!

You sound like a wonderful dad.
I'd like to see you do videos of those.. I need ideas and projects to do with my youngling 🤗🤗🤣
That’s brilliant! I wish I’d have known that, or had the creative mind to think of it
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!
YOu know they have one post clotheslines.
Ya. I wish I could have an old fashioned post clothesline. HOA won’t allow it.
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 agree.
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.......
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.
Almost anything quick is short lived by definition yet it never ceases to allude us of its obvious principal.
What a wonderful world. 😂
@@ge2719it is pulling away from wall, it's a French cleat, basically a wedge that pulls away from wall.
I loved the laundry room table/cabinet idea! You made it look so easy to make!!!
Nice 👍!
Every woman should own a Craig jig. [Kidding].
It’s not hard but not as EZ as she made it look. There was a lot of editing.

Me too
OMG, I Love Both of These Projects ❣️. Thank You for Sharing 🤗.
May God Bless You and Your's, Barbara 🙏🦋
For $15 you can buy a pre made Rack at Walmart
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!
Are you serious about the greenhouse? That is amazing. Love to see that.
@@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. Used sand in the pipes for stability and bought clear shower curtains from Dollar Tree 🤣 We are upgrading after this year to greenhouse plastic, the shower curtains just don't last but a season or so.
That sounds AMAZING! You should post your project on Hometalk.com! (www.hometalk.com)
And the great thing about pvc is it doesn’t leach chemicals into the food or water! Amazing. Isn’t industrial plastics wonderful
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.
I cut 12" lengths, used T's and 90 degrees for the outside edge. I used 12" lengths and X connectors to make a 4' by 8' grid then I lifted it on top of a wooden frame. Zip tied plastic fencing to it. Then attached a tarp to it as a winter/summer cover for my dog pens
When I watch an expert using the Kreg Jig I get super impressed!! That laundry room idea was amazing!
That towel rack was pretty impressive too! ;)
@@Hometalk I'm sitting at work on my lunch break laughing so hard. Yes, it was impressive. Want to know a secret. The guy who built the towel rack also built the cool pool bridge you see in the background!
Yes. Unusually useful and very beautiful.
Thank you! I ❤ this channel for all it's how to's, ideas and inspirations! Keep 'em comming! 🙏👍👋👏
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.
Great ideas.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Stay strong and be safe.
I'm 54 years old and that is the best little cabinet I've ever seen in a washroom. AWESOME!!
love that table too at end!!!wow she is really gonna get alot of use out of that!!i wish i had one
Excellent. Thank you for sharing
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.
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 reality is setting in

Loved both projects but am in love with the table!
That laundry table is just simply genius !!!
Loved both ideas! Thank you for sharing!
Good ideas! Thank you! Take care and stay safe!
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.
That table is awesome , great job !!!!
2 brilliant ideas - thanks very much!
How nice and useful !!
You must be a very skilled person!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
My daughter would love something like this, she's missing just two things: 1) wall space big enough to hang it on, and 2) floor space big enough to open it up.
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.
Thanks appreciated
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.
Thanks for the tip!
@@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.
Ya don't get kick back if you first apply a liberal ammount of milk on the timber then wipe and cut the milk acts like a balm to the cutting edge
100%
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. It got questions when it was closed--what was that beautifully finished wooden thing on the wall? They were fascinated by the thing and surprised to see what it was!
If you don’t mind me asking where did you purchase yours at? 😊
The folding table & storage is just awesome!!
I'm definitely building one for my house.
Making it out of crappy PVC is more expensive than buying a nicer one from Walmart.
I'd be lucky to be able to afford all the PVC pieces , let alone a pool !
The Murphy table/cabinet is brilliant!
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
That is a great idea. You need to share that idea sometime.
@@GoodlyEarth it's online already. I found out that idea from a CZcams video
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.
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.
@@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.
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...
Thanks for sharing !! Both ideas are very useful i may make three of the second one for wife and daughter, who has her own home, and myself (work shop).
Wow! That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
WOW EXCELLENT - THANKS FOR SHARING 👌
I gotta agree... That laundry room idea is great!! *But now you know, I'm gonna have to make one thank you....*
Two great projects
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.
That is an excellent idea!
i made a volley ball/ badminton set for my back yard by putting pvc poles in buckets and pouring concrete in the buckets and adding eyelets on the poles at levels for the volley ball and badminton nets then topping the poles with pipe end pieces. have had these for years now.
Thank you. You just gave me a thought for a front yard sign or anyway the rack to hang it on. So creative and I have the pieces. Great job.
Nice work with the Murphy table. I would have stained that pretty wood instead of painting it, but it came out really nice despite that.
Love the laundry table!
F A N T A S T I C. !!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing. 20/10♥♥♥
Heck yes on the rack!!! I have a lot of delicates, that would be perfect for “dry flat” and so on 😻.
Nice! I live in a tiny home, so space saving ideas are always appreciated. Thanks!
Really useful. Thanks.
Love that cupboard.
I love that idea thank you
I used pvc to pipe draft beer through out the house......stuffs amazing.
Wow I am blown away on that second one what an amazing idea executed to perfection!!!! 😲😲🤯🤯😎😎🤩🤩
AMAZING .I LOVE IT.
This is good!
Great idea! Will try this myself.
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.
Will paint protect it from UV? Any particular kind of paint or just any paint?
@@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.
@@nroman1977 Thanks for the info. I was just gonna spray paint it white whatever...I will be more conscious of what choose now...makes sense, as it will go outside on occassion. 🙂
And now their is an entire section of pvc "boards". 1 by, quarter round, even 4X8 sheets. Oh the wonder! And yes, you can glue it together with pvc cement. The only thing that doesn't work well is routering it. You can do it, but the routered edge is rough.
Do scuff with 400 or 600 grit paper. Then spray bonding primer, then paint. Bonding primer makes paint stick to anything. I did cheap nightstand with chalky finish paint. Without the primer the paint could scrape off with a finger nail. With the primer It would require scraper or something
You can also use the pipe cutter that you basically spin around the pipe and tighten every couple of rotations.
For the Murphy table, I would use poplar. It’s lighter and more durable than mdf.
Those anchors scare me
I never would have figured that out in a million years. Thanks.
I loved the second idea, really useful.
LOVE THIS!!
Great ideas!!
Excellent videos thanks
THE PVC SHELF WAS PHENOMENAL 🎯🎯🎯..I LOVE IT ! THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO, WELL DONE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome!! Thank you.
The laundry table was way better idea than the PVC rack 😃
The second project is cool.
Love both ideas! Now to convince my hubby to make them for me!😅
Very Nice!
Finally a useful video and I’ve watched a lot of them
Brilliant love them all 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I really like the table. For your laundry room
Wow love that laundry table!! Soon as I start my garage remodeling I’m making one!! Thank you greetings from LA👌🏻
I started my basement a few years ago. STOP watching CZcams and do the garage! It's not too late for you. Lol. Ive added some cool stuff to my project like repurposing cedar deck boards for shop walls, curved handrail so handrail is one piece top to bottom. But videos will lead you to greatly underestimate complexity and time involvement of such things.
@@keithmarlowe5569 the garage is full of stuff my mon left and I need to sell before I can start doing anything. It’s a lot!!! So it will take a while I guess. But yes it’s in the works. Thx
So so brilliant .. well done and thank you for the idea from South Africa xx
Great projects🙌
Great ideas 😍
Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
This guy was very clear at what he was doing you didn't you left out the details
Great job! Thank You
Love both ideas 👌👌👌👌❤️
Genius Murphy cabinet thank you for presentation very clear. Wish you success!
Clearly the Murphy table is the big winner in the comments!
Great work!!
I LLOOOVVVEEEE IT !!! That is soooo awesome ! I wish I had the time to make something like that. I could totally do this and use both ideas !
Great sounds mole projects. Not thrilled about just drywall anchors supporting that alone though. Another idea, instead of using the cleat, use the track hardware for a rolling slider door. Just add a couple of standoffs on the bottom back of the cabinet. Then you can move the table a few feet along the wall as needed.
What are "great sounds mole projects"?
Sliding table sounds cool
I love the pvc idea
It's fantastic for hanging delicates that cant go in the dryer.
multifunction-great stuff & blackboard too.
Two great ideas made to look so easy that maybe even I could do them!
BTW, the first presenter has a great voice. 🤭 😁
I agree!! Very soothing lol
Very nice cabinet, good idea, thanks for the inspiration.
Come on ...who doesn't like extra space from a folding table especially in the laundry room! That was awesome!
What did the second part have to do with pvc??
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.
Love the laundry table.
Wonderful ideas
Wonderfully efficient!
Love both of these.
Saw pvc pipe furniture in the ‘70’s. Couldn’t afford it, still cant
I think you should show the completed item at the beginning of the video. How else will I know what you're building and whether I want to make one?
She did an awesome job seaming up that wallpaper.
Lol for the price of the pvc you can probably just by a laundry rack that's even foldable.
