About ABS Cell Core Pipe
Is that a 2×6?
What a waste
Waste? Your assumption that I throw away the rest is incorrect. 😃
But bro you know that we should not waste food * i also eat pepper seeds 😂
Lol!
Do you make plugs for other people? My husband needs 400
If I didn’t have a 3 month old and a 3 yr old I would probably help out. But no time to tackle that project.
Thanks for the info on the hole saw! Many ppl just say "hurr find one that fits."
Tubos pvc ou elétricos? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
El pvc blanco y gris no son buenos. Debe ser la tubería de HDPE negra.
Can't you just use PVC from a big box store.
Negative! That type of PVC will shatter.. please do not do that.
@@maniello3 good to know
Hi, what is more durable between HDPE and PPR tube?
Cutie pie 🥧🥧
This is the cutest thing I've seen all day 🤧 lol
Awww🥰🥰🥰😂😂😂
I just bought some tubes from Pyrodirect and I noticed a few had the plugs in crooked. I started looking at them up to a light and I can see light coming through the edges around the plug meaning these things aren't fully plugged. Is this normal? Seems like it could be a problem if the lift charge can escape out the bottom of the plugs???
Ideally you don’t want any gap for charge to escape. It will effect the lift height. I have tried contact cement or liquid nails to fill gaps but it’s normally not a permanent fix.
@@maniello3 Thanks for your reply. So it sounds like you have been down this road before? Is this normal when buying tubes or did I just get bad ones?
@@bigmacfullerton7870 possibly just bad batch. But it’s partly why I built my own.
@@maniello3 Pyrodirect ended up sending me all new tubes and these are properly plugged. I popped some of the plugs out the bad tubes and the plugs were cut to small. They easily just slipped in and out of the tube. Weird. Anyway they made it right
Would you know the hole saw size for fiber glass tubes ? I not sure of the inner diameter but they're two inch tubes . Lmk mahalo for ur time 🤙🏾 again you are a genius !
What size wood did you use for the plug
I believe it’s was a 2x6. Don’t buy pressure treated though.
American Mike thanks
Is there reason to not use pressure treated wood? or is better to use non treat wood because it's cheaper?
@@MusketNuts1 easier to drill through non-PT wood. And yes a little cheaper.
Thank you so much you are a genius Now I can start with building my motar tubes mahalo from Oahu Hawaii brah !!! U da 🔨 !!!
Awesome!! Glad it helped.. light up the Pacific Ocean!!!
I have a core and main near me. did they cut the pipe for you to help transportation easier or do you need a truck to haul it?
They did not cut it. I brought my battery power sawzaw to cut in their parking lot. Lol.
@@maniello3 that's a pro tip
I have core and main by me in TN...very close...in my town. Called them, the guy had no idea what I was talking about and said they didnt sell it. Only the flexible hdpe.
@@AdventureAwaits1111 Are you in Knoxville? I am near there, and I was planning to call them tomorrow to ask about the tubing/pipe.
I called the Knoxville, TN office today and they referred me to the branch in Charlotte, NC. I called them (704-264-3904), and they have 40' sticks on the yard. The guy said the pick up price would be $1.20 per foot. You would, of course, probably need to cut it down to haul it.
If you buy a hole saw kit, it comes with 2 different size bits/holders for the hole saw. You have to pull out the guide bit so you avoid making that hole. You could probably do it with a vise grip to hold the wood while you drill, but the press makes it super easy.
thanks for the vid Amer Mike, I was wondering how did you mount the hole saw to the bench press? Most people put a hole in the plug.
That works great when you actually have a belt sander to smooth out the ends of the caps to install into the tubes.
This is very true. You could still get a fairly close result with a hand orbital sander with high grit paper. You could pick up a cheap vise to hold the plug.
Angle grinder and soft disc.
Thanks for your video.. what is your estimated cost of making these? I debating weather to make them ir just get them assembled online. Thanks.
What was the brand hole saw you used
Pete Trosclair I believe it was a Milwaukee.
Mike Aniello ok thanks! Just got my shipment of tubes in today lol I’m planning for New Year’s Eve
Pete Trosclair very cool. Hope the show goes up In flames lol!
Go to Core and Main supply house. They are in Orlando. I think off Ferguson Dr.
Thank you for the vid! I'm in Orlando and I can't find HDPE pipe anywhere. I am interested in making at least one or two mortar racks for shells like they sell at Phantom and Sky King. It seems like both the savings of DIY and the challenge of doing it right are keeping me searching. Awesome video. Keep up the good work.
