today on Steve Robb reviews well I'm gonna show you what you could make with these EMT or conduit
benders they have thin wall conduit thick wall conduit and these are two of the benders I have
one is 1/2 inch one is 3/4 and I'm going to show you what you can make with one of these now I'm
not gonna actually show you how to make the the hole design but I'm just going to show you exactly
what I built with them and how handy these come in now these particular items here you'll see
an electrical trade or they run these galvanized steel tubing around walls in between receptacles
and electrical hookups to actually protect the wires inside but I have never used it for that
yet so for me I'm going to be showing you how I use this for decorative pieces and of course
this is going to be for the birds so let's go take a look at it see what I mean well
it's springtime now but it wasn't when I built this it was minus 20 and I'm going to show you
something here this is just fastened in here like this and that's all I did to fasten that in with
and this is the conduit here and you can see the particular shape I come to the first Bend here
and I made another Bend slightly here so I can get the exact height that I needed and this is
about 2 inches higher than I am so it's about 6 foot 2 so there it is right there and that's my
bird feeder that I built and if you'd like to build one of these well I'll put a link down
below they're very simple to build and the birds actually love it but I'm going to show
you something here first I'm going to show you a little bit of a clip so I'm going to show you
this clip of my buddy the squirrel I've got lots of squirrels here and they are about as smart as
you can get so let's watch this squirrel well what I didn't show you in that clip was yes I
tried all kinds of contraptions up here to keep the squirrels out but no no they climb right up
and eventually they figured out how to go over top of that piece of metal flashing and they were
getting on to my bird feed so how did I resolve that well this is exactly what I done right here
is at the time it was about minus 20 so I just got this can of cooking spray and you can use
any one that you want and it doesn't really show here but I'm telling you what from here
on the pipe right before the like great around the bend here right down to here I sprayed that
cooking oil and that cooking oil just adhered to it at minus 20 like you wouldn't believe and now
when the squirrel comes up he'll come to that spot where it's lubricated with the cooking oil
I don't recommend using grease or anything you know on a little furry guys but just a cooking
oil is fine and they would slide down they can't make it up the pole anymore and you know what for
me that's a win-win it's pretty hard to beat a squirrel well if you've never owned one of these
these are very inexpensive for me up in Canada I bought these at princess auto for like like forty
dollars on sale I believe they're very easy to operate and you know what I'm going to show some
more in the future of all the different things that I make out of that conduit now one length
of that conduit ten feet long is fifteen bucks now of course it's half the price for the half
inch conduit but you know what you can make a lot of interesting projects with conduit it's
galvanized and it's so easy to form with I mean you just take a look at this arc here and the
pipe hooks in right here and you couldn't you know it's very easy to operate and I don't see too many
people making things on YouTube out of the conduit and you're going to see make some in the future so
thanks for joining me here today if you've seen this channel before you're welcome to subscribe
and watch me make some things with conduit in the future these guys take care come back again Cheers
