I've always wanted to build one of these. I have (or had) instructions saved from another one that was made using just a large cardboard box for the frame. Unfortunately I never found a box to match--plus there was the issue of where to store it. This seems a lot more portable, at least. Hmm, definitely have to see if I can make this happen. :-)

I've got plenty of PVC at work, so I might actually try this.
Thanks for the link.

The pvc used would run about $10-$15 with the elbows.

Yeah, you can save money by not getting the PVC cement, its really not needed.

I have one of these, Beav posted either this or something very similar way back in late 2005 or early 2006.

You can buy one pre made with lamps at walmart for 50 bucks.

Get green and blue backgrounds, if you are into photoshopping, :)

Oops. Oh well, now everybody's got an alternative link if they don't want to go the PVC route.
