On the subject of 1/4" copper tubing, I wonder if any here have
recommendations for a good moveable clamp that fits the 1/4" tube
well?  My current clamp has some steel in it and tends to get
a bit too hot to touch after just a little while ;)

Justin,

My clamps utilize a short piece of copper tubing, like 1/2" long, cut 
into two pieces lengthwise.  These two pieces are then opened up so 
they fit over the outside of the primary tubing.  Then find a 
suitable spring loaded clip and file out a space for these two pieces 
to fit in crosswise and solder them in place.
