Hello bozaktwo1, I figured there had to be some out there who were doing something like this. I guess I'm just a cheapskate, can't see paying the price they want for the commercially available ones. Best regards, Allan
HI welders, "cheapskate" is another word for ingenuirity, every shop I worked, I made rod holder, pipe stands or tool carts, wereber made may job easier.
I just can't see paying through the nose for a piece of plastic that's made in China and will break after a few months' use. I have had some good ones in the Navy, with the screw-on tops and rubber gasket, but that's crazy money there. One year in the early 90s I got the idea for PVC pipe from a guy I worked with, and I've used it ever since. They last forever; they take a real beating, too.
nice post Allan....my shop is doing same thing.....but we still got an oven for our 4130 FINALLY!!!!
Allan, I did pretty much the same thing but put a threaded cap on the one end which works well. I do use the store bought ones as well but every dollar counts.
