It's official, I'm making one of those PVC ones.
The hardest part of the project was getting the measurements correct. For the top section each of the 8 sides are 3" long and for the basket each of the sides is around 4" long.
I used 3 sections of 3/4" pvc pipe, 1 section of 1 1/2" pvc pipe, 24 90* angle pieces, around 36 T pieces (you can buy them in 10 packs), a 1 1/2"- 1 1/2" coupler (so that it can be taken apart for easy transport).
The very top of the basket is a 1 1/2" - 3 or 4" adapter, which I just measured around the circumference and then divided by 8 to give me the distance between each hole. To drill the holes into the pvc I used a spade bit, I forget the exact size that I used but I can look.
For the base I used 3 T sections, there were some that were cheaper than the others.
I will try to write up some more details about it and get some more detailed photos for whom ever else wants to try creating this. I am even working on getting a video of the basket in action (as requested).
