what type of tubes?? chines style or western? you can use the ball-in-tube method where you drill a hole through the fork insert the tube and place a ball in it to keep it from coming out, you can fold the tube over pull it through and put a match stick through the loop, you can use gypsy tabs, para tabs, eye hooks, etc.etc.etc. you should be able to find examples of all fairly easily..here's one of my favorites

I like that method, simple and clean. I've got some Chinese tubes coming so I will keep this in mind for the appropriate fork.

I'm still kind of nervous about replacing my tubes. I just dont want to go blind in one eye and have to wear an eyepatch like a pirate!

Go to your local sportshop or hardware shop, they sell polycarbonate eye protection that will even slip over current set of glasses that will give you protection from everything short of a thermonuclear strike.
