DIY Copper Pipe Coffee Table and Furniture!

Here’s some creative DIY furniture that caught my eye at the Maker Faire this year.  These are DIY copper pipe coffee table and other furniture. You know they use a copper bracelet in golf to relieve arthritis pains?  Well, having copper furniture so you get some copper on you everyday might not be such a bad idea. My friend is a plumber who specializes in copper-repiping over at Daly City, perhaps I might go ask him for some free copper pipes so I can make one too. Copper pipe makes interesting & beautiful furniture, especially if you throw in some math! This year I started making Fractal Furniture using copper pipes. My first project was a Hilbert Curve coffee table. A Hilbert Curve is one of a class of space-filling curves, essentially a line folded in on itself at multiple levels in a way that fills the entire plane if you go an infinite number of levels down. Of course, you can’t buy infinitesimally-sized copper pipes for a finite amount of money, so the table only goes to level 4. See their Maker page and website. See more pics:
