Now you're onto something-
You don't even need to buy any specialty items, just buy 2 short pieces of 
steel tube, sized so that one will slide within the other one.
Weld the bigger piece to the side of the table, weld a flat plate to the 
smaller piece so it looks like a big flyswatter, slide one end into the tube 
that is welded to the table, bolt the flat plate on the other end to the base 
of the tire changer.
