Been reseacrhing this myself and came across this thread too

Very similar solution, neither might last for ever but they are ideal for the home builder with custom pipes to join.



might even get a sticky out of it...

If you look further down the link there was a more robust version using a vice.

Sounds more like it, hands dont take long to get tired...



much better bead with the vice !
