The stainless steel pipe is about 2-3/8 inches in OD. Like your idea about the blocks. However these are made by using a hole saw centered on the wide side of a 2 x 4. Then cut the circle in half, etc.

It would be better to use metal, but this keeps it light weight. For light duty use wood works fine as stainless does not conduct heat very well. Plus the glass acts as a good insulator. For heave use would suggest a different holder.

The tray is 5 inches in length but could be longer depending on needs. The nice part is that it is easy to dump the contents back into the frit container.
