MY DIY | Copper Pipe Cookbook Stand
DIY PROJECT, Home DIY
After researching this week’s dip post I am all in for making appetizers, but before I put on my chef’s hat, I needed a cookbook…and now that I have a cookbook, I clearly needed a DIY stand for it, right? (I think I am just procrastinating because I would way rather use power tools than pots and pans!) After working with copper on my magazine rack, I wanted to use tubing again for the holder. Also, there was ulterior motive…the outlet on wall is an eyesore and I wanted something standing to cover it! I am stoked with how it turned out, it’s equal parts function and style. Step and supplies after the break!
What you need:
1/2″ Copper pipe
Four 1/2″ 90 degree copper elbows
Two 1/2″ Copper pipe caps
Unfinished wood rectangle
Pipe cutter
