Default tube and rod jig

I had a need to cross drill steel rod and tube so I welded some 14g sheet steel together as a base and then cut a piece of 16g steel angle and welded it onto the base and then cut off the static end of a 2" C-clamp and welded it on the base to clamp the rods or tubes into the angle guide...works well..thought Id share a simple solution...will work for notching tubing too.
