Another thought-
If anyone could think of some type of readily available metal
standoffs which could slide up and down a greased chrome pipe,etc.,
that would be simple as crap. I've got drum hardware here which might
be able to hold the main tube down (like bass drum tomtom mounts), but
you could probably do a two piece wooden clamp around the tube and
screw it down to the work surface. The top could also be strengthened
by a wood rig. I've seen guys use a homemade pulley system on a radial
saw, with counter weights hanging from the far end to return the saw
to the back.
