making a collector
i dont have a band saw like most of you, but i do however have a portaband! what i was thinking to make my collector was get a piece of metal that has a slightly larger ID then the collectors OD and cut my angle on the larger piece and put the smaller piece inside of it to duplicate my cuts. anyone every tried this/think it would work/have a better idea?

i think i may try to build a custom jig to hold the pipe at the angle i want it and put it in my radial arm saw with a metal blade. i think if i made like a right triangle jig with a small piece sticking out of the side opposite the right angle to keep it pipe from sliding down would make some pretty nice collectors, yea?
