FYI:

I used electrical conduit pipe, and simple bending tool and about 10 minutes and few cheap brackets at an electric shop:









enjoy and try it yourself.

Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing.

Now.. that gives me a good idea on what to do in future

Thanks for sharing Tom!

PS: By the way, I've moved the thread to its appropriate section.

very nicely finished. would be very nice if the power cable can go through the stand too..
just a thought

[o2bubble]

Great work! I noticed one of the stand seem be bent... is it due to weight of the light set or the bent in on purpose?

As usual tom, never fails to impress us with your DIY designs. Professionally done.

Question: as the pipe is only supported by one side, won't the weight of the light cause the end of pipe to bend over time ? I guess adjustments has to be made every other month to ensure the light is still parallel to the ground.

But it's a good effort, well done.

I guess it is depend on the thickness of the metal pipe you are using.

Wonder where to get those bending tools in Singapore? DIY shop?

[tawauboy]

you'll be able to purchase the pipe bender from bigger hardware shops, expecially those catering to the construction industry.

Think the one near my place sells
Blk 150, Toa Payoh lor 1. Opposite CHIJ Toa Payoh/Phillips Singapore

But i doubt he does the bending, They close at 6 so bros who free can go ask.

Thanks! I might want to go Serangoon though. There's this big hardware shop I used to patronise there.

And oh, I did a search on eBay and came up with this:

3in1 Lever Type Mini Tube Bender

Tempted to buy and have it delivered due to lack of time to go round scrounging for one. I can probably offer a free service for you guys to come bend your tubes too!

I know there is one there but never been inside.
Might there be a chance they sell smaller PVC tubes/Joints/Ball Values?

The one near my place only have 1\2'' (For my faulty Jebao 915) but not for my Atman CF900. Been waiting to make a PVC outlet W/Co2 mix for sometime now.

[|squee|]

I did my PVC internal reactor there so they should have PVC stuff.

[felix_fx2]

Do you have the address for them?
I might drop by there to take a look.
