For each shelf we used: 8 - 2" length 3/4" nipple pipe 2 - 4" length 3/4" nipple pipe 2 - 6" length 3/4" nipple pipe 4 - 3/4" floor flanges 6 - 3/4" 90 degree elbows 2 - 3/4" tees 2 - 3/4" caps
Start by taking the dogs' bowls and tracing them on the board and cutting out holes with a Rotozip.
Important: You'll want to cut your holes slightly smaller than the circles you traced so that the edge of the bowl rests on the wood and holds it in place. stained the wood with Minwax's Jacobean stain and then waxed it with 2 coats of Minwax's dark finishing wax. Another tip: To get a silky-smooth surface, finish by buffing the wood with extra fine steel wool. Make sure to sand to smooth everything and putty any imperfection. framework was assembled and then painted using Rustoleum's Flat Black spray paint. Once the paint was dry the pipes were reassembled with the shelf and mounted to the wall. Make sure you either hit a stud with your screws or use anchors as you don't want the shelves falling down. You can also make a stand for the water bowl by using the same wood and plumbing pipe
