Pretty good lookin'. Just curious: What drew you to the pvc pipe?

Nice! I'm about to start on some that will be similar to those. Did you fill the pipe with sand? I think I'm going to run a smaller piece of pipe inside the bigger one (maybe 1/2" CPVC) so that I can run the wire through it, when I fill the other one with sand.

As for PVC, well, it's non-resonant, light, easy to work with, paintable, etc.

Haven't filled with sand yet. I also was going to do the same with the wire but, the idea came a little late in the design
