I plan to build a kitchen island out of black iron pipe. I'd like to have a 6' x 3' butcher block counter top (115lbs) and two other smaller shelves beneath. With it full of stuff we could easily be looking at 300 pounds and I'm just wondering what thickness of pipe y'all would suggest.I am going to do 4 verticle pipes/legs with a few tees in each to build the shelves and a couple towel racks.Would y'all think 1" pipe is plenty or something like 1 1/2" might be safer? I would rather go overkill to ensure it's sturdy but there is quite a price difference between the two in terms of total price. Thanks for all your help! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2QZqgMh
