I want to build a 45ft tower similar to the tower made for the air x , and
was wondering where to get or what to use as a replacment,
the tower clamps that join the two 1 1/2 pipes together and attach the gye
wires to.
What do you use to join your pipe sections together and attach the guy
cables to the pole.

Ya know, they do sell the kits for that. Last time I got one, just for
fun, I priced it out piecemeal, the guy wires, the saddle clamps, the
piping junctions... I don't know that you could make it cheaper.
Failing that, the junctions are compression clamps. Any decent
industrial plumbing supply
would have them. Get ones in black steel, weld some heavy chain links
to it, and you should be good to go.
