Once the two halves of the foot (per side) are ready, a T-junction is used to connect them to the upright. The upright is a 7' 6" section of pipe.Be careful at this point to make sure that the upright is indeed upright. A spirit level is a useful tool here, you must get the upright as close to vertical as possible. Hold it there for a couple of minutes while the PVC cement sets, then carefully lift the upright and lay it across a couple of chairs while the cement sets hard.
You may like to do one half first and let it harden before adding the second half. But be very careful to make sure that the two halves align, otherwise the upright will be unsteady.
The end result, a side stand, but without the cross bar holder, can be seen here.
