    When we redid the gas line on the back of the house, there was about 30' of 3/4" old pipe left that I was planning to scrap out.
    Fast forward to father's day and my son gave me a nice Amazon gift card. After much thought and deliberation about what to buy, I settled on some 3/4" clamp heads so I could resurrect the old pipe.
    Found 2 cans of Rustoleum (brand new) at an estate sale last week for $1/apiece, and spent some time today cleaning up a few pieces of pipe and painting.
    Pics in a few minutes...........I'm having some lunch first.

    So, you would use them for their original purpose or for something else?

    Pipe clamps are great- make them any width you want. just the ticket for edge gluing or holding frames together. Been using them for years. of course there are many other applications

    Sounds like a perfect reason to use the Kreg jig.:whistle:

    And the clamps have feet, even gooder.

    Yep, I already have a few (had 'em for decades) with Sears "fixtures".
    Not sure what you're asking, but the clamp fixtures attach to the pipe. I can take a pic of one if that would help.

    Sorry, I was talking about the pipes. Now they are nice and shiny looking, what would you use them for?
