I have been lucky to come across a bunch of porcelain light fixtures from old gas stations and factories, and I was hoping to find some gooseneck pipes for mounting them to my garage. The only places I have found want $150+ for the pipes, I can't imagine a piece of pipe with a few bends can cost that much.
Anyone on here make them or have an idea on how to find some decently prices options?
Thanks!

You could probably pick up a hand bender at flea market for 5-$10 and do it yourelf.
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

Make a template and bend your own as these guys have suggested...something like this and modified to your own needs:

PS I would want someone to shoot me if I paid $100.00 for this.

After bending several thousand feet of conduit in my life, it is not quite as simple as grabbing a piece of pipe and a bender and getting it right all the time. Be prepared to get it wrong several times. If you have a friend who is an electrician ask him to help you get started, it will be easier, and cheaper.

yes bend your own . I bought some cheap foreign made conduit because it is soft galv. I took my 3/4 and half inch bender and made some simple 90 degree bends for wall stub out with a 90 and a flange .
