I loaded up my last of 8 loads of these funny looking logs today.



They just put a natural gas pipeline through here and I bought up all the scrap pipe it ranges from 1 foot long to 40 foot long pieces.  now I need to figure out what to do with it.  it is 24" dia and weighs 98lb / foot about 3/8"wall

Maybe use them as poles for building a VERY sturdy building?
How about a vacuum kiln for 40 foot long beams?   Or a pressure treating vessel?
Make and sell them as storage vessels? 

I would have to try to make a few wood stoves like chucker said?

Thems some nice looking indestructable deer blinds.   ;)  ;D    Stand a length of it on end and cut some lookout holes and you're in business.  You could even do like we did with sono tube and put a length in the round baler and wrap hay around it just like a bale.  You can crawl into it and the deer are none the wiser.  ;)  Just remember redneck ingenuity will get ya a long ways.  :D

If I used one for a culvert, it wouldn't be reusable.  I wouldn't have anything to move it with.  At 98# per foot, that's heavy.

I'm currently making a lawn roller out of a piece of 30" dia x 1/2 wall pipe.  ;D

Make it 10 foot long, fill with water and it sure would flatten the mole runs or anything else it rolled over.
