Hey, I'm looking for ideas to make my own pipe fit-up clamps. Ranging in all different sizes,
Would appreciate any photos, I do own a couple that I have bought but I was looking for some inspiration
To build some of my own.

What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

These are the clamps I have, they are called E-Z fit pipe clamps.

Another way is to use angle stock or a C channel with clamps. It will help with keeping longer runs of pipe dead-nuts straight. I had to fabricate a bunch of soccer goals at one point, and I was having to use scarphs instead of butts. I would take two- 4ft pieces of channel and fasten it to my bench with a space in the middle to allow for the long scarphs, string straight. Then it was just a matter of laying the pipe in there with a couple quick grip clamps and some T stands holding the ends up. Worked like a charm.

I kind of depends on your current application as I agree with the channel or even heavy wall angle will do the job, but looking at the photo theses are really designed around alignment fir but welds, not really made for stopping the pipe from rolling over or moving.
