The problem with clamps is that it seems that you can find lots of them cheap at yard sales and the like, but you end up paying for a new one every now and then because you don't have one at the time that you need it. For pipe clamps, if you need to make stands for them, try boring a hole into the center of a 2x4, then sawing it in half. Hi Jeff, yeah, they aren’t cheap.

I purchased 6' pipe clamps to help with my last project and did some quick on-line shopping especially since FWW magazine had recommended some particular ones, but they were expensive. So I went with the standard pipe clamp kind of like what you have and they were still about $60 for two. Just found your blog.
