Tubing aligner for welding

nice setup, that looks quite handy!

I just use a heavy piece of angle iron.

I think the notches allow more torch clearance so more wrap per bead, and less start/stop.

It's lightweight, easy to cut and adapt, and wood doesn't scratch things up easily. 

I try to get 3 good tacks about 120 degrees apart...

Of course don't catch it on fire!

Another way is to use a worm gear hose clamp with 3 windows cut out of the worm drive slots. Spot weld in each window, remove clamp and finish welding.

i would end up land-locking the clamp to my tubes.  i suck at this game.

I use aluminum angle  when I'm welding steel and steel angle when I'm welding aluminum. 
That justifies keep scraps sound. 

I made it in GRM with this!!

Here's another wooden fixture...

With angle or channel....cut a notch for welding clearance.

Bevel corner so welding clamp doesn't slide.
