How to make Gymnastics/Fitness Rings from PVC Conduit

Step 5 Remove pipe from oven and place in your cylinder

There are two things to be careful of here: the hot pipe and the hot wire. Make sure you use gloves or towels (I used two towels). Remove the wire (with your gloves on) and quickly put the pipe into your cylindrical object. You probably want to make sure the bottom of your cylinder is smooth so it doesn't texture your pipe (though you could sand it later). Push the pipe down with the ends touching so that the pipe retains its circular shape. If your pipe is too small, you may need to put something on top of it, in the center, or just hold it in place with your gloved hands. Wait for about 5-10 minutes for the pipe to cool. (NOTE: this is a shiny metal trashcan so it reflects the ring -- I did one ring at a time)
