<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 1427762, member: 24754&quot;]Hah! Thanks for the compliments guys. I wasn&#039;t sure whether anyone would find these things interesting or not, but figured there may be a couple of people that would find them useful.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have to use 3/4 inch schedule 40 pipe, as the ID of schedule 80 is too small to hold a penny. The thin wall makes it tricky because you have to countersink the fastening screws so that the pennies can slide past. I found that using a brad point drill bit for the pilot hole worked well. Since you don&#039;t have much thickness to play with it is easy to go too deep and have your screw heads pop all the way through (as evidenced by the multiple holes in some of the PVC pieces <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). There is a block of wood attached along the underside of the PVC lengths. You want the bottom of the PVC pieces to stick out about a 1/4 inch past this block, makes it easier to grab and push the stack out of the slot. It is important to get nice square cuts on the bottom side of the PVC pieces (I used a mitre saw for this). If the contact between the bottom plate and the bottom of the PVC is out of square then it could leave a gap on one side or the other that is large enough for a penny to slide through, which causes problems with coins falling out.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone decides to build some then be sure to post some pics. I&#039;d love to see them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
