Plumbing Pipe Bench
Building an industrial bench with pipe legs was the first project i completed and i was so pleased with the results.
Plumbing pipe bench. A half bench design indicates that the pipe s lower half extends through the manhole. Attach legs to the bottom of the bench using pipe straps a drill and 1 inch screws. Make an industrial style bench using only two materials galvanized pipes and a wood board.
A while ago i saw a plumbers pipe table and fell in love with it. I couldn t find any images or information online to look at a bench like this but i assumed it would be the same as making a coffee table with a few adjustments. Thread each end assembly onto the 42 in pipe and then stand the bench on a flat surface.
Originally i was going to make a plumbers pipe coffee table but then decided i wanted a bench instead to go with the new board batten wall i did in my kitchen. In the half bench configuration the horizontal benches extend from the semi circular channel to the interior manhole wall. Adjust the tightness of the fittings to level the bench and eliminate wobbles.
Half bench and full bench are the most common types of benching configurations utilized. I had seen plumbers pipe tables around the net but had a hard time finding benches i finally made one of my own super easy to make and not that expensive it was just the touch i was looking for to go with my board and batten wall and air return. It only took a few hours required minimal effort and didn t cost much.
