Can anyone give me an idea where to buy cheap pipe for pipe clamps. Also, is there a clever, makeshift, poor man's way to clamp something long if you don't have clamps that long?
Thank you
Thank you
...Personally I prefer galvanized as it grips the pipe better and doesn't leave any black marks.
alan, i thought galvanized did 'bad things' to the wood?
cool, good to know for when I finally can afford another set of pipe clamps!NO Ned it doesn't. I don't ever remember having to deal with black marks since I got galvanized pipe for my clamps. The clamps also grip the pipe better.
Also if I remember correctly I think I bought 3/4" ridgid pipe in the electrical section as I think it was cheaper than the plumbing galvanized pipe.

Here are a couple of pictures to show you what type coupling to get. They are located in the electrical section and are used to connect ridgid pipe.

That would be conduit. Just remember that it is thinner walled material and as such, it can bend easier under clamping pressure. This could be important if you are gluing up a panel and need it to stay flat.
