Rather than a vice+funkness, would it be possible to design a testing device using a two-ton hydraulic jack? doing so would offer some semblance of continuity in the testing pressure, especially since it will be done in my garage, rather than D. Waggoner's garage (as it obviously is not).

Rather than try and re-invent the wheel, perhaps a good start might be a press similar to that used to press bearing races...?

Better to pull than to push. Have a look at these photos of the tensile test Break-O-Tron I assembled to do load testing on airplane parts and climbing gear:
