Looks nice.

Honestly ~~a trenching spade, pick/maddock, and wheelbarrow~~ hiring a couple college kids for some beer money isn't a bad way to dig a trench that size.

FTFY

I tried that, actually. The pipe clamp and pipe threader combined take up enough pipe that the minimum length of pipe I can work with is maybe 5-6".

Thread one end of a long pipe. Cut off a section exactly as long as you need for the nipple. Thread the long pipe again. Thread the nipple into a coupler, and thread that onto the long pipe. Thread the other end of the nipple. Now you're only limited by the clearance of the threading tool alone, and the wrench needed to take the nipple back out. Buy close nipples as needed, they aren't worth the hassle.

Also use a pipe cutter for less end prep, but at this point none of this is worth much for this project.
