Question:

Attaching a plastic tube to a wood rod?

Does anyone know of a way to attach a hollow plastic tube that is 2 inches long with a diameter about 0.5 in to a rectangular piece of wood that is 0.75 in thick? It has to be able to withstand considerable force without budging. Something like duck tape doesn't work, I've tried.Is there a good way to do this? I was thinking of some sort of clamp, but what type? And is there any sort of glue I could get that is very strong?I'd appreciate any help.

Answer:

use U or omega type clamps which can be screwed to the wood
Drill a hole in the wood and glue the tube into it. Does it have to be wood? It might be better to use a block of plastic and drill a hole instead of trying to attach a tube.
