I got some idea for building a slider and i think bending is to complicated. Ive decided to link the pipes. Can neone help me with this by posting some suggestions or posting links??

Here are my ideas as of now. First i thought i could use a 15 degree joint and shave down the lip as not to ruin my board. Now im thinking i could cut the ends of the pipe at and angle, fit them together and melt them together with a torch and be able to smooth out the angle a lil. What do ya think???

do it this way ... say u are gonna use a 3" pipe for your slideing surface ... then get some pipe that fits snugly inside it and glue foot long sections inside the joints ... 6 inchs in one pipe and 6 in the other ... that way your slideing surface is smooth cause u just have the 2 joints jammed together ... but u might wanna run a file over it ne ways to get rid of ne lip

I dk what size pipes fit in what size pipes but its not that hard to find out ... but seriously do it his way .... its the best way I think really
