Do It Yourself Studio Shooting Table

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Keith Slagerman created his own photographic shooting table using Kee Klamp fittings.  With a little ingenuity and a look at the design of a retail shooting table, he was able to construct something to meet his needs for about half the cost of buying one.  

Keith has a complete tutorial of how he built his shooting table on his web site.  link

Solar and Wind Energy Grid Supported by Kee Klamp Fittings

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Here is a solar and wind energy grid that was constructed by Nick Lucchese (Sierra Solar Systems).  The modularity and reusability of the Kee Klamp fittings makes this entire system portable (as you can see in the pictures).  Great job Nick for getting creative with the fittings.

Zero Point Shelf by Adam Byers

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Adam designed a shelf unit that is setup not to penetrate the ceiling, walls or floor.  It uses tension, pipe and fittings to create a floating shelving structure.  This would be a great setup for people who have to move frequently and/or have leases that do not allow for holes to be put in the walls, ceilings or floors.  On top of being extremely functional with fully adjustable shelving, it just looks cool!

The only fitting he used in this project was 61-6 flange that he bored out to allow the pipe to pass through.  If you are interested in doing this project but do not want to bore out your own fittings, we do provide boring as a service (additional cost for each fitting).

More pictures of Kee Klamp fittings used in “The Pink Project”

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Earlier we reported about the use of Kee Klamp fittings in Brad Pitt’s “The Pink Project” which is seeking to raise awareness of the need for housing in the lower 9th ward of New Orleans (read here).

Below are some more pictures of the Kee Klamp fittings being used in the project.

Kee Klamp fittings play role in Brad Pitts “Pink Project”

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

1528c.jpg

The Pink Project” is the specific initiative led by Actor Brad Pitt and Make It Right, to bring the nation and the world’s attention to the devastation from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana. But the focus is not on the destruction, but on the rebuilding and renovation effort that the “Pink Project” is bringing to the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans.

The “pink” buildings are Pitt’s way of calling out to Americans and citizens worldwide, to help rebuild the neighborhood and way of life in the 9th Ward. This holiday season, families can help rebuild New Orleans by sponsoring a whole house — or just pieces of a house — and revitalize the area once again.

Buildings

pp_framework2_250.jpg

Each pink building is constructed of a large framework of Kee Klamp fittings, and aluminum pipe. Each building is sectioned into roughly four modular pieces, so it can be easily moved, assembled and disassembled when needed. The pink coverings are created from 100% recycled material, manufactured by Lighthouse For The Blind in New Orleans.

There are a total of 150 disjointed pink buildings in the Lower 9th Ward. This is to represent the destruction and chaos that occurred as the floodwaters from Katrina rocked the neighborhood. And over the next 6 weeks, the buildings will be assembled together in their proper places as the donations for each house is received.

Scary PVC Wall Setup

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

One of our customers, Dustin, came up with a creative use for our PVC fittings and Snap Clamps. He used them to create and setup a wall for his haunted house. Here is what Dustin had to say:

The first thing the patrons came to was the first PVC Hallway which was put together using the 3-way and 4-way furniture grade fittings and covered by black heavy weight vinyl sheeting held on with the snap clamps.
Skulls were stenciled onto the inside and outside of the sheeting. The hallway was very sturdy when put together and featured 2 strobe lights in the hallway itself. The effect was very creepy as the skulls would appear and fade with the strobe lighting flashes. Second was an ‘L” shaped room,that we had a live actor hide in. Again used the same basic parts to construct this room. In the dark,the room was almost invisible,and the actor would be behind you without the patron even knowing he was there. We had great success using your items.

Our haunt was such a success that we are expanding the haunt by triple the size it was this year! I look forward to doing much business with you.

Your service is incredible!

Thanks again-Dustin
