Hardware "Goodies"

I just got back from the hardware store with a bunch of "goodies" for my project.  I've got 10ft steel conduit, shelves, a brand new power drill, and much more.  The plan for building the frame is as follows:

The frame/rod will have a diameter just under 15ft.  I will bend 3 segments of the steel conduit using a pressure bender (or rollers) in the sculpture studio.  Then, I will cut small segments of wooden dowel to fit into the end of each of these segments.  I will screw this dowel in place from either side of the conduit.  Once I bring the segments to gallery 120, I will screw the dowel in place inside the end of the connecting segment of conduit.  So, two joints; three segments.  I plan to bend two or three segments for the bottom of the sheets as well.  This will allow me to make sure the "screen" hangs perfectly.  I probably won't joint the bottom segments together since they won't be holding any weight.  Instead, a little duct tape could hold them together.

For the screen:

I am buying three king sized sheets and ripping the stitches out on the sides.  This way, I can use the hem at the top like a pocket and slide it over the rod.  The sheets will have to be sewn/adhered together.  I am waiting for permission to use a sewing machine from the fashion department.
