"The first item we built is this sign stand. It holds a sign made of sugar glass. For the Braden’s Hope golf tournament fundraiser, golfers can try to break the sugar glass sign. If successful they get to advance to the green on that hole. We also built the gateway to the event. Your video about securing the structure with paracord was very useful." - Steve (Fastsigns Blue Valley)

Here's a cool one from Luther Print Shop!

"I had a few weeks to make a self-supported wall at a craft fair in order to hang my framed artwork. I came across maker pipe fittings and thought it would be a good solution, paired with conduit, as it's designed for. It was easy to make a plan with the variety of parts, and they came quickly! I was easily able to put everything together, drill some holes in the conduit for some hooks I added for a string "wall", and put some drapes over it. Perfection! The "maker pipe" fittings make it easy to modularize the wall and take it down super fast. I also have the option to expand it to a larger size by swapping out sections for a bigger booth size. This is exactly the product I needed, thank you!" - Noah Johnson Art

"When a piece of equipment arrived at our facility without a proper handle, we learned that the manufacturer no longer provided a handle with the unit. Feeling like this was not a good option for our end users, we set to work coming up with a remedy to quickly make something without the need for extensive and time consuming fabrication and design. After exhausting all "quick and easy" ideas we had we were left with no quick fix. Then, I remembered Maker Pipe! ...This provided a perfect solution and we plan to use this method for all future machines as well as for other unique applications. Awesome people, awesome product and a MILLION USES! Get your creative juices flowing and go check out their website! There is something you need to make with Maker Pipe, you just don't know it yet! Thanks again David! - Jake

Here's a great build from Veronica and Richard!

"All done with my build! I made a chair display rack for our showroom" - Chad

"This is my project. In the winter when the sides to our pavilion are in place, vendors need to haul everything through doors instead of backing up to their booths and unloading from their vans/pickups. I built the platform to sit on top of a Gorilla trailer. It’s big enough to carry 6-foot folding tables and loads of vendor crates – without them falling off the sides. People are impressed by my conduit skill and devices. I had to buy a 22/32 bit to drill the holes so the 1/2” conduit would be a perfect fit." - Bob

Here's a cool build that @recreatedesigns built for the Handmade Montana!

“My wife got a clothes hanging rack made out of 1 inch pipe for free. She makes hummingbird feeders and birdfeeders out of vintage glass and this look like something we could use to hang her product from at craft shows. I came up with an idea of how to use this rack to make additional rose of her product and I have been looking for these for quite some time. After checking the larger stores and other online retailers, I finally came across Maker Pipe. The T connectors worked flawlessly. After I put two extra rows onto this hanging rack, this rack now can hold anywhere from 18 to 21 of her items. They were easy to use and install, and after things were put together, my wife painted the whole thing black and it looks great and professional. It is nice to see an idea come to fruition. Thank you Maker Pipe.” - Dennis

“Finished product thanks to makerpipe! It’s used to bring cardboard to the dumpster.” - Richard

"We used these clamps to re-engineer our model train club's banner stand for tool-free assembly. We had to drill the T connectors to screw them to 3/4" EMT, but once that was done we had a pipe that could slip down another pipe until the banner was taut and then be eaily clamped in position. Together with judicious use of gravity and the fact that 1/2" IMC fits snugly in 3/4" EMT, we now have a banner/stand assembly that by opening a few clamps can be disassembed into pipes with minimal "stuff" sticking sideways, so they can fit securely into a 50" mic stand bag." - Thomas

Thanks for the review Kory!

"Maker Pipe's T connector is an absolutely critical component to my custom display panels. Great product and always seamless order process."

It's common to here an experience farmer who takes there produce to a Farmers Market say "you want to pile it high and watch it fly". So with that advice and a college degree in agriculture marketing I came up with this as my my first attempt at taking that advice literally with maker pipe.

Using the conduit as a frame to elevate and shape the display boxes vertical and horizontally. I was also pleased at the weight it was able to to hold. Each basket had a frozen gallon of water wrapped in burlap to keep produce cool in addition to produce weight itself. I'm aware from the picture that it's mostly light produce but I feel I could have put a couple sacks of potatoes on the top shelf and it would hold.

Additionally my hope with the verticality was to mimic the shipping experience from a typical grocery store/permanent storefront. Please let me know in the comments if that's something your getting and if that's a good or bad thing I'm interested to know.

The shelf itself is light weight enough to be maneuvered with relative easy by one person. It does fit into my below average Honda Ridgeline truck bed. However, I have yet to identified the most efficient way to transport it, along with all my other market necessities. I transporting it in it's finished state. I feel with time this will be improved.

Also with it being conduit I could use high strength magnets gorilla glued to black shower tile for pricing and signage. Im using chalk/paint makers for easy signage changes if needed.

I've definitely have some further plans to improve over time but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out for my very first farmers market and wanted to share. Shout out to the Ivanhoe Farmers Market! If in the Kansas City Metro I suggest making it an effort to try and attend a market.

“I was looking for a way to cut down the size of my travel bag for carrying my targets around. This allowed me to cut a 5 foot cross beam down to 2.5 feet which fits nicely in a bag. The Coupler then makes it 5 feet again. Even with weight of the 10" 3/8 AR500 steel gongs it keeps the bar straight.” - John

White Industries left this review about their simple but awesome tool chest shelf!

"We have been trying out different modular systems for custom shelving and storage to see what works best for us. We have several large machines to make the various components we sell and jobs change over quickly so having a way to easily access different components like vice jaws or fixture bolts is necessary for the flow of the shop. This was our first experience with Maker Pipe and it was a great one! Going from idea to finished product took about as long as it took for the product to arrive after hitting "BUY". Everything is very straight forward and all the parts went together perfectly. We needed a shelf for some of the more common jaws we use on popular items and the final result was the perfect fit. Rest assured we will be returning for our next project and into the future!"

I built this monitor stand for a conference last fall. It was used to hold a 50-inch TV vertically. It features a couple of interesting innovations and has several requirements. It must be portable for transport, solo assembly, assembly on-site, it had to roll, and it had to fit through standard doors after assembly.

I wanted the mount to be stronger than an off-the-shelf wall-mount bracket, 2x6 lumber metric bolts held the TV to this frame perfectly.

The casters I used had threaded stems and were attached to T-connectors. Several nuts threaded onto the stems fit inside the T-connectors to prevent movement, and a large washer and nut on top made the caster and T-connector one strong unit. Those T-connectors had screws driven into the EMT to keep the casters vertical.

The frame base geometry was a good compromise of width for stability and size to fit into tight places. The frame was incredibly strong. During design, I could stand on it so I was confident that a 50lb TV was no problem.

The geometry of the connections around the back casters and top of the assembly was a bit tricky as I was adding compound angles that the hinge connectors handled well. This made assembly a little tight, yet once everything was torqued down, it held together very well. I used a ratchet wrench with a hex socket for more torque and extra holding power. The connectors handled this with no issues.

Alvin shared a few photos of the tradeshow display frame that he made. It has a built in power strip and dual monitor mount for showing a slideshow etc. at tradeshows. Super cool!

Brock shared some photos of the awesome desk that his company built for their office!

Here is a cool adjustable box stand put together for a manufacturing plant! If you look closely, you'll notice the telescoping clamps on the legs which allows for easy height adjustments.

Here is a great example of a banner frame for a truck bed from Roney!

"Glad that I came across MakerPipe, I had always thought of the economic value of using electrical conduit for making things and the high quality components from MakerPipe made the end result easy pezy. Great fair pricing and the fastest shipping I think I’ve ever encountered. I most definitely will use these superior fasteners again and again."

Awesome build from Matthew R! Thanks for the review.

"These connectors were just the ticket needed to build my daughter a structure to display her custom designed clothing at the Salem MA Night Markets. Hangs all of the garments and has a changing room in the corner!"

Check out Tom's boot rack!

"First project built with maker pipe. Needed storage for staff boots. Used a metal chop saw, so cutting was easy."

Steve used 1" EMT Conduit and Maker Pipe Connectors to build these cart corrals for their Habitat for Humanity store!

Darin from 310Rodworks shared some photos of their recent show booth stand. Really cool!

“ I just wanted to send a message to you about my MakerPipe project. I have a small but growing company in Southern California. I was looking for an inexpensive way to put together a backdrop for a consumer show that we were participating in. We had contracted for a 10x30 booth space and we didn't have the money to purchase what some would call a "Professional" booth setup. Instead, and with a fair bit of planning, we used 3/4" EMT conduit and your MakerPipe connectors to design the framework to hang full color banners as our backdrop. One of the sections of the booth stood 11' high and with some creative layout work, we had it fully stable and without any issues of sagging or tilting. One of the key elements to making this work was the new in-line coupler that you came out with. It held the upright pipes stable and the horizontal pipes inline so that all the panel sections would like up properly. Although we didn't get to incorporate lighting as we wanted to, we still had a great display. We had many compliments and we shocked those who inquired when we told them the entire frame was built from 3/4" EMT conduit and your connectors.

Thank you for helping my company, 310Rodworks, make positive first impressions with our local buying community. We couldn't have done it without you.”

Duayne's sign printing company recently made some frames to mount banners on the outside of a building. Pretty cool!

Check out these tables from Yul!

"Hey Maker Pipe, I am replacing sewing machine tables in the plant I work at. Here are a few pictures of the finished product. I had to add extensions for the product to rest on while sewing, yet still be able to access the overhead handling system we maintain. Everyone is happy with the finished design thus far. We will definitely be making more soon. Thank you for a great product that is so versatile. Have a great day all."

Gene shared a couple of photos of some foot guards they made using flanges and T Connectors. Pretty cool!

The Tech Valley Center of Gravity makerspace built a really cool booth for the woodworker's showcase in Saratoga Springs. They incorporated a lot of cool hacks!

Another TEDxGreenville project built at the Synergy Mill Makerspace with MakerPipe! This year we had some new letters, but it was overall the same setup. I did some optimizing on the rack design and we only used 10 connectors! That's 4 fewer than last year. Thanks for making a solid, dependable product that works! And, thank you for supporting Synergy Mill and TEDxGreenville!

We needed a better pack workstation in the shop. We built one out of conduit. What else would we have made it out of?!?! What do you think?

https://youtu.be/t-Vb2zmVKWk

Synergy Mill Makerspace is the home for many TEDxGreenville projects, including the MakerPipe frame that holds the stage letters. We needed a quick to assemble and disassemble method of mounting the 2 foot tall styrofoam letters. The frame was 4 ft tall, 10 ft long, and used only 14 T connectors. We've built this frame design for the last 3 years and we reuse the connectors for other projects after the TEDx conferences. The biggest challenge is efficiently designing the structures to use the fewest number of connectors!

We use Maker Pipe for our trade show display tables. Since we have to travel with the display it works great with how it breaks down. We use lightweight doors as the table tops and simply put holes in the bottom so the pipe can fit right in.
