Structure 1 : first structure in the universe built using EMT and straps

Brought to you by Lows Inovation Lab.

This is bunny's portable bathing tub. He uses the whole of our bath tub so he doesn't make everywhere wet. We still put this tub in our tub but water use is a lot less. There are plastic EMT caps at the legs to protect the tub.

You can probably stand on the quad-strap cross joints without slipping. Very strong.

You can combine 2-hole straps with 1-hole straps for tee joints, and hardware straps for rotation and sliding. You can use 2 1-hole straps for fixing conduits when it's not load bearing.

1-hole straps are quite neat when snapping onto conduits. Here I use it for holding aluminum wires for the cage.

This is totally built without measuring tools, other than that the EMT's are cut to size. The quad strap joints have a tendency to be perpendicular, but not exactly. I suggest to using #10 nuts and bolts so there is less wobbling of the straps and the joints will tend to be more perpendicular.
