What to do with steel pipe?

Nikolas Britton · Jul 23, 2008

I have maybe 100ft of 1" steel pipe... Not sure what to make with it... Any ideas? So far I've come up with go kart or loader forks for horse manure.

if you have livestock or know someone who does make hay feeders to use or sell.

If its galvanized then don't weld or cut it with a torch it will make you quite sick.

100 feet of 1 inch I could use that for many things. Deer stands, gates, fence posts etc etc etc

I made 2 sets of saw horses and a work bench frame out of some I had. Still had some left over and started build a metal rack with it.

Perfect top horizontal rail for chain link fence.

Where did the pipe come from? It is possible that it is not just "pipe", but rather some grade of tool steel, intended to be heat treated and hardened. If this is actually what it is, it is pretty much worthless for anything other than its intended use. If you cut it with a torch, it will get brittle and break. If you weld it, it will get brittle and break right next to the welded joint.

Send it to China, and they can make a truly crummy tractor out of it.

If it was here the local surveyer could use it for marking stakes.

If I had it, I would make some wood racks to put my firewood in. Sure wish you'd bring it to my house!!!LOL

I built a nice welding bench with some inch and a quarter pipe years ago.Sold it when I moved.Pipe is too soft for loader forks.
