Thing made with 1/4" base plate and 2pcs of 2.5" tubing.

myistar,

I wasn't referring to the amount of filler you used in welding the holder up.

I was joking about how much filler a 2 1/2" pipe can hold. At 18", I'd suspect each holder will take about 12# of filler.

I use a similar setup that clamps to the edge of the table, but I used 1" OD SS tubing for mine. I don't like having that much filler out of the tube at a time. Not too bad for SS but mild and aluminum don't fare as well.

Nice idea, and nice work. I've been thinking I need a handy place for the rods...

myistar -

Looks good, how far did you have your tungsten sticking out on the bead in between the two tubes?

I'm not exactly sure on the measurement, but far enough so I could get in there, with no problem. seemed to work pretty good.

yeah, i didn't read that too good probably, i wanted to make something that day, i told myself, these tubes are fairly big for storing some filler in it. At the time, i didn't think i had any smaller, like 2 inch, but now i'm typing this, i did have some 2" exhaust tubing i could of used as well..
