EMT conduit TurtleDog stand
Has anyone tried using 1" EMT conduit with 1" dia. wood dowels to make the legs of a turtleDog stand? 1" EMT has an inner diameter of 1.049" making a 1" wood dowel good for an inner sleeve/plug. I've been thinking of giving it a try. I'm thinking of making two piece legs and a four piece crossbar so that the overall length disassembled of less than 4'. I've looked at using 2x2 wood but I can't find a single straight 8' 2x2 much less six of them. Also sleeving a 2x2 is not exactly easy. I think it would be plenty strong enough although probably heavier than wood. Any experience out there?
