LOL. I'll have to post a Before & After series on that in the OT forum. LOL
BTW Dean, and everyone else, thanks for the tips and suggestions that made it possible.
Particularly about only needing to cut half the rings.
Saw a nice Ryobi(?) 9" bandsaw at HomeD the other day, for $100. But wondering how easy it would be to maneuver a bundle of pipes cleanly through the blade? Using a chop saw, it was a simple matter to support and feed the bundle up against the jury-rigged stop, and >chop<.
You'd asked about 'kerf' earlier, and I don't think I responded directly - the carbide-tipped blade I was using was 1/8" in thickness, causing about 40% waste of my pipe material. Could have wasted less with a thinner plywood-cutting blade, but considering I only spent ~$20 on PVC pipe, and the thinner blade would likely cause melting and burring, why bother?
I think the next time I try something like this, I'm going to give it a try with the black pliable drip-line hose (polyethylene?). Ought to be MUCH easier on my fingers (which are once again calloused and cracked from handling the rough-cut PVC).
And it won't have to be painted
