I sanded down the edge of the cylinder so that a larger tube could be held also. Then I cut some innertube pieces to cover the block so that the bike tube would not be marred while in the jaws. You will also see that I drilled some holes in the clamp so that I could secure the blocks to the clamp. I'll post pictures tonight.
Yea thats almost exactly how i planned it. I might use that flange, maybe i will make my "pipe base" I designed (it looks cool). I might use a spade bit or i might use the grinding wheel for the jaws, It depends on what im in the mood for. Im going to do that tonight and post pics though. Im interested to see what yours looks like for reference though
