Who knew you could make so many things with common PVC pipe. This book first gives the basics of the material, as well as how to attach the pieces together. Several project sections follow that introduction. You can learn how to make simple things such as a birdhouse or a cold frame cover, but there are also more complex projects such as a small wheeled caddy, a desk, or a patio chair. There are lots of ideas for kids such as a water soaker cannon, flute, slingshot and egg catapult. If your budget is limited and you like to make things out of spare materials, this might be a good book. Instructions are easy to follow and nicely illustrated.
