u can go to any local hardware shop,

best one, kedai paip besi ahliang etc

Ask them beforehand if they can do iron pipe threading, most of them can do it

been to a few, most used to have few years back. now...dont offer adi. out of 10 i went, only 2 has it.

But why?

Hdpe easier and cheaper to work with.

Kedai Paip besi Ah Liang? i google nth came out.

i tried a few local hardware, it is actually a conduit pipe for electrical. i want to build wall lamp since iron pipe is not available nowadays.

for ID works.

This is usually done by a plumber or contractor.

Sometimes, some hardware shops do have that machine as well but getting rare.

Ask around the hardware shops that sell them or you could ask them for a contact for someone in the area that could help you with it.

ok, noted. thx

CSM hardware. The branch in Shah Alam Sec 27 have it and also the neighbour hardware shop. Sec 25 also. Not sure about Jalan 225 their new branch cos havent been there.

The shop in Sec 27 used the metal pipes as their staircase railing and payment counter stand and divider.

My CNY diy 2019. Will be buying two edison bulbs today to complete it.

Normally shop have this machine infront if they have such service.

Drive around and spot such shop around your area.

Why the CNY treee so dry ?

Looks like a tree

Feel like a tree

But is NOT a tree.

Is ..

A trunk stand lamp.

Thank yoh so much !

today I went to the hardware stores that has the machine. However, I cant get it threaded because i bought GI pipe instead of iron pipe.
They said if GI pipe, their die will blunt fast and the pipe will get dented very easily.

But Galvanized Iron (GI) pipe is lighter and cheaper. no wonder i thought it was cheap like 12 ft - RM 17.
Iron pipe is around RM 50+ for 20ft.

this is something i was wanting to build

They have the machine but don't thread GI pipe ? That's strange.

I guess more people using GI pipe than iron pipe. Mostly iron pipe is weld together. Seldom threaded.

Anyway if you around old klang road try this heap wah sdn. bhd. 5 3/4 old klang road. They supply all sort of piping plumbing. Or puchong jaya.

Pipe design not my favor. You need to know how to paint it to get it nice.

Probably I see too much GI pipe in my life.

I built something similar however I used copper tubes and instead of sockets I did some bending and coiling.

Alas the wife didn't like it and I took it down.

If you like diy, you can do lots of things for the house not commonly found in the market place.

I m DIY guy.

I play with GI pipe (plumbing) since teenage.
