The PVC Project Book: 101 Uses for PVC Pipe in the Home, Garden, Farm and Workshop

That book had a lot of great projects, loved it, I just don't know which one to try first!

This book has some fun ideas for helpful everyday projects made from PVC. The introduction gives helpful information on the history of PVC and plastics in general, and gives advice on working with the different kinds of PVC. The book would be improved, however, if there were photos of every project described, and if there were detailed lists of the parts for each project. Nevertheless, I found that the projects described led me to think of other uses for PVC. For the price, it is a useful book.

A lot of experts and hobbyists likely know that you can bend PVC with heat, but I sure didn't. I figured the "big box" employees might not know this, but it turned out the long time guys at my local "mom and pop" hardware store told me flat out he didn't see how you could do it without breaking the PVC. You can! And you can make a lot of things with PVC. I wasn't sure whether to give 4 or 5 stars. If I wanted to make any of the projects in the book, I'd give it 5 stars. On the other hand, I did bend the PVC! Plus it has given me some ideas for projects. If I make a project based on an idea I got from the book, I'll bump it up to 5 stars.

The book was in great condition and the service was very good.

It's got some interesting plans for practical stuff, but assumes you have a more basic understanding of how to work with PVC, going in. Well, I'll find that part elsewhere.

This may in fact be the worst book I've ever purchased. Fully 80% of the 'projects' are "cut a piece of pipe, put a cap on it, and place it over something sharp" The other 20% are "cut a piece of pipe, put a cap on it, screw it to the wall and put things in it" The 'furniture' portion of the book (which is what I was really after) says "pvc furniture is so popular that you should check your local hardware store for specialty joints and designs" There are /no/ scale drawings/plans, just the occasional drawing of a piece of pipe with a cap on it. I was unable to find anything in this book that was useful to me, and nothing that was any more complex than 'holder' or 'cover'.

Had just what i needed to make inside

I suppose I expected more, I am dissapointed that it didn't have more interesting projects but maybe my expectations are out of reality. it is worth buying for a few good ideas.
