Watched this video and had to subscribe. You're my kind of people.

Thanks for the sub and welcome!

[@rayndooma5624]

This video has opened another dimension for possibilities in my future Maker Pipe projects. Thank you!

[@MakerPipe]

Awesome to hear Ryan! Thanks for watching

[@chionomys]

Many thanks

[@mkegadgets4380]

I would like to see you use a hinge from the last example you had with a threaded inserts. Great information as always.

[@MakerPipe]

Thanks MKE!

Hey Jake, great video! I love these compilation videos where you compare similar projects.
Incidentally, I've been working on a project that incorporates another hinge design. (Number 9?) The project isn't finished, but since you brought up the topic, I posted a bit about the hinges I've built for it in the community.

[@MakerPipe]

Thanks Raymond!
I’ll go check it out now. Thanks for sharing it!

You might also utilize another item for hinges (and other connection ideas). Namely, you can use 1/2" IMC (must buy from an electrical contractor supply company). It's a little sturdier so harder to bend BUT it fits almost exactly inside of 3/4" EMT. Only .009 of an inch clearance. We built small portable soccer goals with IMC bottom corners and 3/4" EMT for the rest.

[@MakerPipe]

That is awesome Doug! I have been looking for something like that for a while now. We are going to pick some up and try it out. Thanks so much for the comment!

[@DougLooney]

@@MakerPipe Note that the fit is so tight that using a pipe cutter will crush the inner diameter enough to prevent the IMC from entering the EMT until re-finishing the opening. Of course any other deformation will also prevent joins. Cheers!

Great Ideas

[@JamesSchmidt-ro4mb]

Jake- working on aluminum 1" OD frame which sits on 2 pontoons- to form my fly fishing float. Need to incorporate a hinge T, where arms rotate on rear horizontal pipe. The leg of the T receives top end of 16" length of 1" pipe which has small axle and a pair of launching wheels at lower end. Wheels rotate down for pulling craft to launch. Then rotate "up" 270 degrees to rest, then the fun being. Point is, do you make 1" fittings which will work for this?

[@tobylarzen3611]

I'm just now finding these products and videos. Thanks for supplying the ideas for hinges. Which of these ideas do you think would be the strongest for a horizontal plane? I'm considering your idea of a maker pipe slate bed but with the ability to lift it up to access underneath. Thoughts? Comments welcomed!

[@MakerPipe]

Thanks for the comment Toby! I would say the T Connector hinge method would be the best because it allows you to maintain a long continuous span of horizontal pipe. The other solutions require you to break up the span to insert the hinge solution.

[@designbyeloine]

I wanna see you try the last since we know the other ones work :)

[@MakerPipe]

Thanks for watching and putting in your vote!

[@3838bbla]

The first method should be easier for me, as I don't have the threaded pipe or other parts.

[@slickwillie3376]

Great stuff! Say! I need to know how heavy this conduit is. I can't find the information online. I want to build a backpacking project, so weight is important. Any idea? Say how many pounds per foot for a given size, for example?

[@projectionarts]

My vote is for the aluminum snap on hinges.

[@MakerPipe]

Thanks for the vote!

[@raidolill5134]

I'm looking for lockable tube hinges for my reed organ legs so I can easily move with my organ.

[@thelazyphotographer822]

can I ask the community a question. I have two pieces of wood (11x14 1/2'' thick), I would like the pieces to be attached with a hinge so the ends are very close together that will allow the two pieces to close flush on either direction. imagine a piece of paper folded in half and additionally in the opposite direction. any advice or leads

[@3838bbla]

Any method to connect t post to EMT? I am doing trellis using t post as vertical pieces, wondering how to attach horizontal emt. Please thank you!

[@MakerPipe]

What kind of t post are you working with? Feel free to shoot me a photo at [e-mail] if that is easier.

[@LampWaters]

Can you point me to a video that shows me how to make a hinged adjustable canopy? I want an adjustable hinge where I attach to my fence posts or my house, a canopy that can be lowered and raised based on the hight on the sun? I'm consider making a canopy and also a towel rack by the pool but want them to be able to be folded away when not used if possible.

[@MakerPipe]

Hey there, thanks for the comment. Be on the lookout this weekend for a new connector that will allow you to do that pretty easily!
