{DIY} Copper Obsessed IPad Stand

I promise you this is SO easy.  It took me longer to write down all these directions then to actually make the iPad holder!

Materials:

1/2 inch Copper pipe (I purchased 5 feet, which was the smallest length available) 

Tubing Cutter 

All to fit 1/2 inch piping- 

2- 90 degree elbows

2 street elbows

2 tees

4 pipe caps

Glue  (I used Elmer's ProBond Advanced. It worked awesome!)**

*All can be found in the plumbing section at your home improvement store!

**You can solder the pieces together, however, I keep things simple around here, so glue it was!

The copper pipe materials were only about $16. If you need a pipe cutter, they run about $15.

Directions:

1. Make your cuts.  My measurements are based on the 3rd generation iPad but I checked the specs on the iPads and it would work with any iPad (except the mini, because, well, that is mini...)

Have you ever used a pipe cutter?  This was my first time, all you do is twist until the pipe is cut- it is SO easy! (Clearly, I am easily entertained by new diy tools ;)

Measurements:

1- 8 inch

2- 4 inch

2- 6 inch

2- 1 inch

Step One:  Glue the 8 inch and 6 inch pieces to the street elbows:

Step Two: Glue the tees to the bottom of the 6 inch pieces

Step 3: Glue the 4 inch and 1 inch pieces to the tee. 

Step 4: Glue the street elbows to the end of the 4 inch pieces.

Step 5: Glue pipe caps to each exposed pipe. (front and back)
