My dad made a gate for our garden out of 1/2" bent into a "U" and based in a wooden base.

Have seen plans for a 1/2" EMT hammer dulcimer.

Used some 3/4" EMT as a makeshift clothesrack for a while - it never bent like the expanding chrome ones did... of course I suppose I could have brought the laundry up a little more frequently...NAAH.

Replacement handle for an air compressor.

Once had a "cat tower" that wouldn't lock securely between the ceiling and floor - pulled out the "pipe" and recognized that particular type of galvanization pattern... you guessed it - 1/2" EMT. (Even labeled w/ UL!) Just stuck in a longer piece and everything was fine.

What was your need for a Loran-C antenna?

I see a lot of plans on the net for building antennae from either metal conduit or copper pipe. I've seen copper pipe used as an RF grounding bus bar when smashed flat and mounted on piece of wood.

Here is the peddle bicycle rail that I was talking about in my previous post.



It's all made of 1/2" emt. Bent and welded together. Just had to buy wheels, sprocket, etc.

I went camping once with my work truck. One of the other campers lost his tent stakes. I just so hapend to have a few pieces of 1/2" EMT. I cut it up into 2' lenghts and hammered the end over to hold the rope. I was called McGuyver the rest of the trip.

Was just looking on the net, thinking about building a spud gun when i found out they're considered illegal firearms here in Germany and probably Austria too... there are hefty fines on their possesion, let alone use. Something like $300 min.

If it is just a fine and no criminal record......
Go for it!
