"We thought you might like to see what we built with all those connectors we bought from you back in November last year!  We finally finished the project.  it's a two-compartment walk-in chicken coop/chicken recreation yard, (total: 6' tall, 7.5' wide, and 18' long) of our own design, with the frame built using your makerpipe connectors and tools; dozens of 10' lengths of 3/4" EMT pipe, four 3ft wide x 50ft long rolls of 1"x1/2" 16-gauge wire-fencing mesh, hundreds of extra heavy-duty black-nylon cable/zip ties to hold the wire mesh to the frame (on all sides, and top and bottom), three walk-in aviary doors (from WIngz / KW cages), some hardware-store angle irons and 2-hole 3/4" emt-pipe connectors to better mount the angle irons doors to the emt pipe, and finally, far more labor than my wife and I anticipated.  But we finally finished it!  This is and was our first MakerPipe project. We didn't exactly start small!  

In the pictures, you can also see two "Eglu Go-up" coops (purchased from Omlet.com), some hanging chicken waterers, some bucket-type chicken feeders, and a couple of inexpensive plastic doghouses (from Walmart) to provide the chickens with additional shade.  

 Anyway, thanks for providing your fine product to the DIY community.  We (and our chickens) are happy with how the project turned out.  Keep up the good work." - R & D
