Carry it home in your lunch box, then make a series of rollers out of it, like lawn rollers, aerators, etc.

It's a little big (7") but lay it across the rafters in your shop then hook a chain hoist to it.

Make a cannon for shooting balls, small pumpkins.. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I was thinking the same thing. No need sneek it out. They only one that knew it was here is gone and as soo as someone else finds it it would go in the scrap box

Cut 5' off and use that as a lawn striper.

Cut 4' off and weld some spikes on it, fill it with cement, make some removable brackets to pull it UNDER your box blade (scarifier teeth UP please) and use that as an lawn airator. (the box blade will add the weight you need to sink the teeth)

Using the same 4' piece above, make some more removable brackets for the back of the box blade and pull it behind the box blade as a soil pulverizer.

Sink the remaining pipe partly into the ground, fill it with concrete, set your mailbox on top of it, and see if the local knucklehead teenagers can knock it down when they drive around running over rural mailboxes.

Here's an idea: Put it in a couple feet thick slab of concrete in the middle of your shop floor, standing upright, and make it the pole for a real nice jib hoist setup.

Cut off a 4 foot section, fill it with concrete and make a front end weight/bumper for your tractor.

Put champagne bottle bottoms in each end and use it to look at the stars.

There was a thread here once about wind chimes. a piece of pipe like this would work great, cut to different lengths, presto

Chances are it's six inch pipe ( 6 5/8" o.d.) /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

If it is you can cut it in half. Find some JD disc separators. Weld these on top for caps. They take the plain old pipe from ugly to beautiful lamp posts. The separators have an urn look that makes a perfect lamp post when put on to of the pipe.

A sixteen footer would make a nice hinge post for a five hundred pound gate if it isn't over twenty foot long and you can go down ten or eleven feet deep with concrete.

If it's plasma cut lengthwise into quarters you have perfect corners for say a truck bed. That's how I made Lucy's bed corners. Everyone assumes I have a killer brake. Nope, just a plasma and more than a bushel basket of patience.

STICK it the middle of your front yard, and let the neighbors go crazy figuring out what it is for /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif or better yet give it to WROUGHTEN HARVE he most certainly can figure out what to do with it. the man is a genius with pipe!

Re: found a 7\" x 16\' steel pipe here at work

Weld a 4-inch half circle 1/2-inch thick steel plate longitudinally and perpendicular to the radius near "the muzzle" end and paint the whole thing black. Then have 1/2 of it sticking out from some trees pointing at the road or the driveway. It'll keep salespeople and Jehovah's Witnesses away, maybe even "Trick -or- Treaters".

Chucko, with my 7"pipe I made a roller to press small seeds into the ground. Golf cart tires fit it well. See attachment.
