Instructions
Slip a 12-inch-long PVC pipe into two of the openings that are next to each other in a cross fitting. Spread PVC cement onto the ends of the pipe before pushing them into the fitting.
Push a 2-inch piece of PVC into the remaining two openings of the fitting. Glue the ends of these pipes the same way to make an uneven "X" with longer top arms.
Make another uneven "X" shape using the other cross fitting, 12 inch and 2 inch pipes. These are upper arms of the sides of the rack.
Slip one of the 2-inch pipes sticking out of the "X" into one of the vertical openings on a T fitting. The horizontal opening on the T should be perpendicular to the pipes forming the "X" shape. You should glue this end like the others.
Put a T fitting onto the remaining exposed 2-inch pipes after applying the cement. Make sure that horizontal openings are facing the same way as each other and perpendicular to the pipes.
Glue one end of each of the 8-inch pipes, and insert them into the bottom vertical openings of the T fittings. This will make the "X" shapes even on the top and bottom.
Stand up the "X" shapes so the horizontal openings of the T fittings are facing each other. The T fittings should be on the lower arms of the Xs.
Glue the ends of the long pipes and insert them into the T fittings to connect the "X" shapes. The long pipes should run parallel to each other and give the stand support.
Cut the foam insulation to the length of the upper arms on the sides of the stand. Use scissors to make a straight, clean cut.
Push one foam piece onto each of the upper arms. This creates padding for the plane to prevent damage.
Cover each of the feet of the stand with pipe end caps. The caps will keep the pipe from scratching the surface on which it rests.
