I do this. I connect my 1lb canister to the side of the table I work on using the same clamp setup I used to use for my hothead (metal angle deal, O clamp around the bottle and C Clamp to connect to the table). The pancake regulator, which has a hose extending from it, is screwed directly into the top of the 1lb canister. I then use a small brass coupler to connect the short propane canister/regulator hose to the also short torch hose. The torch is located at the front of the table and is clamped down as well. I do the same for the oxycons, except that they are located under the table. The hoses are taped to the underside of the table so they don't get in the way of my knees.
Can you visualize this?
