FWIW, A customer at Pennsic this year wanted a tripod top made to fit  
1/2-inch black pipe. I took a page from Dan Kretchmar's Viking Tripod  
and one from my usual stuff and made him a piece from 1/2-inch round.

I made three bent pieces with flattened ends, punched, and curved. I  
then made a hook with a tenon that I put through the three holes and  
bradded over. Ended up with a foldable tripod and hook that stood  
about 8 inches tall. So the customer could insert the ends into 1/2- 
inch black iron pipe and make whatever height tripod he wanted.

Worked fine, but the guy never showed up to collect it. So I put it  
out on consignment. :)
