I think a Solid State Relay is the same thing as the optoisolator. You can pick them up pretty cheap on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-in-Box-Solid-State-Relay-SSR-24-480V-AC-25A_W0QQitemZ250558892739QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a56794ac3 |

Sorry if this was covered already. I skimmed, but didn't see it. What about buying short lengths of PVC for the rings? That way, it's guaranteed to be a true circle and not worrying about the cove molding bending or not being perfect. Very cool project! |

Even if you can, can you buy just a 6" (or whatever) length, or do you have to get 6' at a time? Might not be very cost-efficient. Also, the outside one with the U-shape would still be the molding, unless you could cut and bend the PVC well enough. Besides, I think it looks good as it is. PVC is sturdier, though, and might be an option for someone else building one if they have access to it. |

2" wide might be a tad small. You'd likely need the 4" pipe, and yep, that stuff is all over the plumbing section of lowes. I bought a3 foot section to make a steam bender out of, but returned it when I went a different way with my frame idea. But I'd agree that pvc would make those catch tubes really easy. assuming that's the right size. And 3" only costs like, maybe 5$ if that. BTW, this is a great project. If I had space.... And time.... and a tad more money....<sigh> |

I was referring to the larger rings on a skeeball ramp. Can you get something that huge in a typical hardware store? |
