I also don't think PVC would by any wobblier than a lightweight metal stand. The tubing is much bulkier, though and may not scale up from a benchtop well.
Be careful with the clamp. You're looking for clamp, not a vice. You can do damage if it's too strong, esp. if you have alumin[i]um or carbon. In fact, I don't think I'd clamp carbon at all.
but then, an inexpensive repair stand doesn't cost that much, so I'm not sure it's really cost effective to build one.

As to price, the cheapest stand I have seen here in town is on the order of 120CDN and after a really quick scan of pipe prices, I figure I can build one for 30-50CDN easily (not including my time, but that is okay as it should be fun to build).-------------- Chiefhoser[ Parent ]
