V12man Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I drove around a bit looking for pipes and or clamps today, seems East London is in the dark ages because I couldnt find either at any of the hardware stores. Seems they might be more pain than they are worth at the moment!I can check tomorrow at my local store where I bought them - let you know when done
jimmycool Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) The clamps are a good price but the shipping price is law dropping stuff!Its actually cheaper to ship directly from Amazon which is pretty unusual with stuff off Aliexpress.This one offers free shipping at a higher price for the clamp.Not too bad. Also, it is the 3/4" and not 1/2" as a lot of them are YOFE 3/4" Heavy Duty Pipe Clamp Woodworking Wood Gluing Pipe Clamp 3/4" Pipe Clamp Fixture Carpenter Woodworking Tools HT1235http://s.aliexpress.com/qumEbamU?fromSns=Copy to Clipboard (from AliExpress Android) Edited January 19, 2018 by jimmycool

If only I could somehow get these Iriwn pipe clamps.http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/332188788472-0-1/s-l1000.jpg jimmycool and Capricorn 2

When I checked they were around $13 each with $18 shipping. Its always the shipping that bumps up the price so much. stefmeister 1

I think I might have some friends coming over from the states in the next month or two though so will check with them. At R170 each(price minus shipping) they are a no brainer. Capricorn 1

I was hoping to find somewhere local where I could pop around and pick one up. But if I don't come right at least I now know where I can get a decent one at a reasonable price. Cheers!

It's a one off project that I need to measure some angles...
