Several manufacturers sell the "coiled spring" type of soldering iron holder...I have seen them in RS too...If this type stand is too "tippy", it can be screwed onto a small board...I have an old heavy duty holder made by Hexacon that stands by itself...I would steer clear of using pipes...It will not allow good air circulation and might lead to early heater failure and tip burning due to overheating...Just my thoughts...73
