The PVC Flag Pole Project- Part One

Filed under build, Made From PVC
This www.justbuildstuff.com project involves building a flag pole out of inexpensive PVC pipe. Flag poles like these are often seen around RVs at campgrounds across the country. In fact, I first saw one on a family camping trip to South Dakota. They are a neat way to display a flag, whether it be in patriotic sense, to show support for your favorite sports team, or simply for decorative purposes. This flag pole offers a unique manner of displaying the flag with its interesting angle and ability to move when it catches the wind. This project is quite fun to work on while at the same time being extremely simple.
Check back during the next few days to see how the flagpole is built.

When You’ve Got Scraps, Make Blocks!
Building should not require a lot of money. In fact, I try to do my justbuildstuff.com projects without spending any money if possible. I think this is better for both the environment and for my wallet.
A fun example is to save all the little scraps of wood you find when cleaning up your shop floor after a project and use them as building blocks for children. You probably want to sand the pieces to eliminate the possibility of slivers and get rid of the sharp corners. For a little extra pizazz you can also paint and finish the blocks to make them look a little spiffier. They end up being a unique and fun toy that can help to build creativity skills and the all important building skills.
