I am really impressed with all the jig work you do.

I just lean parts against jars of paint or random pieces of plastic. HAHA

Hey , whatever works .
I go that route when possible .


Yesterday I got the stabs exactly where they need to be ,
then I fitted a slice of 1.5mm styrene atop the tenons to seal off that tail volume and anchor the stabs into position .
I had the jig inverted in the vise and with the slice wedged in there I slathered it with spru-goo .
it is now monolithic .

After that fully cures I'll mix up some less viscous epoxy and add that across the joint to strengthen and finalize the assembly

I switched to more powerful magnets .
It was immediately apparent that no tool could be ferromagnetic .
I had to make a 10mm wrench out of 2mm scrap styrene ,

I think I would feel dirty inside , though .
Especially after the money was gone .

If we still had CRT monitors, you could have hours of enjoyment... just stay clear of my hard drives!
