PVC Bagpipes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the next few pages I hope show you how I build a set of PVC Bagpipes using materials available from any good hardware store. The pipes are made out of build ups of PVC and epoxy and using simple hand tools. Plain or fancy build then to fit your style.

Supplys Glue 5 min Epoxy or JB Weld kwik I use the JB weld its thicker But cost more. Sand paper assorted grits up to 400 I use wet and dry it cuts down on the dust if you wet sand.. Bondo Glazing Spot putty to fill in small holes. Electrical tape and masking tape. Buffing compound, Solder. Primer bondo black. Paint any color you like I use a dark brown and a clear sealer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tools X-acto knife and blades, X-acto saw, pipe cuter. small files, Dremel and bits.. I built this without the use of a lot of power tools but if you have them use them. But thay are not needed if you don't. The pipes on this site were designed to be built by all levels of craftsmen. |

Safety If your not wet sanding its best to wear a dust mask and gogles and dont forget to wear gloves when using Epoxy |
