just use torque screws if you have a powerful enough drill they will go through. I used my dads 18volt cordless and that worked very good.

its faster then metal. if you set it up on a down you might slip out a lot.

Drill a hole in the top of the pipe and put a screw through the hole, through the opposite wall of the pipe.

You people overthink things way to much. Just come up through the bottom. Check out my pictures for some examples.
