Thats a good idea for holding pipe. I don’t have an oxy-acetylene or oxy-propane torch for brazing, but epoxy might also work to attach the PC coupling to the locking pliers.
Another great solution to a shop problem. I made wooden v blocks to hold round wooden stock (dowels) but they don’t work very effectively on metal. This idea is an excellent solution to that problem.
Epoxy or JBweld would be worth a try. I would file flat sides on the coupler and grind the jaws of the pliers flat, so the stress would be metal to metal, instead of a cushion of epoxym
@@Rusty_ok The problem of holding threaded pipe comes up so often, I had to find a solution. My first idea was to drill and tap a piece of steel pipe, which could be mig welded. This required boring or reaming the pipe, which is machine work just a little beyond what can do in the Lab. I think the brass coupler is a better plan in the end.
Excellent ideas. Thank you!
