Project Ideas
Business
Rapid Press Service for Black Iron Retrofits
Offer a mobile service to repair, reroute, or add branches to carbon steel piping (e.g., hydronic heat, air lines, select fuel gas systems where code-approved) using the 1-1/2 in press ring and DCE200. Market the speed vs. threading/welding, minimal downtime, and clean installs in finished spaces. Always use the correct press fittings/O-rings per medium and local code.
Industrial Fixture Kits for Retail/Hospitality
Sell made-to-measure kits for shelves, garment racks, and host stands built from 1-1/2 in pressable pipe. Provide pre-cut lengths, labeled fittings, layout drawings, and on-site pressing as an add-on. Position as rugged, upscale ‘industrial’ decor with rapid installation and the ability to reconfigure sections later.
Tenant Improvement Sprinkler/Mechanical Add-Ons
Specialize in small-bore TI work where 1-1/2 in lines are common: sprinkler branch relocations, equipment tie-ins, and mechanical room tweaks. Pressing speeds up weekend/night work in occupied buildings. Build relationships with GCs for fast-turn change orders; document with before/after pressure test reports.
Press Tool + Ring Rental with Assisted Pressing
Rent the DEWALT press tool and 1-1/2 in ring to trades and advanced DIYers, and offer optional on-site assistance for the first hour to ensure proper technique. Upsell consumables like lubricant, corrosion-inhibiting paint, and compatible press fittings. Provide quick-reference guides and a helpline.
Modular Event and Pop-Up Structures
Design and rent modular frames for trade shows, markets, and pop-ups using 1-1/2 in press-built segments. Offer standard booth sizes, signage mounts, and lighting crossbars. Sell branding wraps and setup/teardown services; store and re-use the pressed modules for recurring clients to improve margins.
Creative
Industrial Pipe Bookshelf + Media Console
Build a low-profile media console with uprights and cross-members in 1-1/2 in black iron pipe, pressed together with elbows, tees, and couplings. The stout diameter keeps long spans from sagging, and the press ring with a DCE200 makes assembly fast and square without threading. Finish with reclaimed wood shelves and a clear coat or black enamel to protect the steel.
Modular Greenhouse/Trellis Frame
Assemble a durable garden frame from 1-1/2 in carbon steel pipe using press elbows for the roof pitch and tees for side bays. The press ring ensures tight joints that won’t twist under wind load. Add conduit clamps for poly film or trellis netting. Paint or galvanize spray for corrosion protection outdoors.
Rolling Shop Cart and Clamp Rack
Create a heavy-duty shop cart with a welded or bolted steel plate base and a 1-1/2 in pressed pipe superstructure. Use tees for adjustable shelves and a horizontal bar array for clamp storage. The press system keeps lines clean and snag-free, and you can reconfigure later by swapping pressed couplings and tees.
Minimalist Stair Handrail and Guard
Fabricate a modern handrail from 1-1/2 in pipe with pressed elbows, tees, and wall-mount plates/adapters. The larger diameter is comfortable to grip and visually bold. Pressed joints give a seamless, threadless look; finish with satin black paint. Verify local code for height and spacing before install.
Bike Repair Stand + Storage Rack
Build a freestanding bike service station using a 1-1/2 in pressed pipe mast and outriggers for stability. Add a horizontal boom with a clamp head and pressed hooks/loops for tools and helmets. The press ring provides rigid joints that won’t spin under torque when wrenching bottom brackets.
