Hello to all lovers homemade, this time we will focus on improving the soldering conditions or some minor work, in the case when there is no assistant nearby. Given device it is customary to call the people the "third hand", because with it you do not need to ask someone to help hold the part or something else in the process. The manufacturing principle is very simple and does not require any special material costs, any person will easily repeat such homemade work. The author of the homemade product highlights such a feature of the "third hand" as the presence of a magnet, which also adds to the convenience. Well, with the very concept of a "third hand" figured out, and now consider the assembly process in more detail. As in all other homemade products, you need to find out what you need to create a homemade product.
To make a "third hand" do it yourself, we will need:
* Any small board with a small size 10 cm wide, 15 cm long and 1.5 cm thick, in this case plywood is suitable.
* A couple of magnets, small and larger.
* Three stationery clips.
* Steel corner.
* Pieces of steel wire with a cross section of 1.5 mm and a length of 20 cm.
* M4 bolts and nuts and washers.
* Four small screws 2.5 * 12 mm.
And also need a tool:
* Long-nose pliers, round-nose pliers are also suitable.
* Screwdriver and cue ball to it.
* 7 mm head.
That's all the details, as well as the tools that will help you make your homemade "third hand."
After all the necessary is already available, you can proceed gradually to the assembly process.
Step one.
The first step is to make a loop of wire in order to fit our M4 bolt there. This is done easily with the help of long-nose pliers, bending a piece of wire attached to a magnet so that two pieces of wire remain at the edges. In the photo it is more clear what is at stake.
Step Two
We check how the bolt sits in the loop, it should not stagger strongly, if this is observed, then adjust the gap with the help of those long-nose pliers. After the gap has been removed, we take the M4 bolt and the stationery clip and fix it on this loop, placing the washer in order to improve contact with the wire and avoid loosening when tightening the nut.
Step Three
Since one clamp will definitely not be enough, we will make another one similar to the first, fixing the clamp on the other end of the wire. In a similar way, we attach a second piece of wire to a smaller magnet and install a clip on it.
Step Four
So that the design is more stable and does not fall during use, which is extremely undesirable, and also in order to be able to attach the very magnets with clamps, we fix the corner to the plank on small screws using a screwdriver.
Now the "third hand" can be used for its intended purpose. The repetition of homemade is very simple and does not take much time in the manufacture.
The main advantage among other clamps is the arbitrary arrangement of the clamps relative to each other, since there is a metal base on which magnets with clamps can be rotated in any direction.
With the help of this homemade product, you can easily solder two wires or solder them to, for example, an LED. Where and how to use it everyone will find for himself. Also, the presence of two magnets at once with one small clamp and the other with a pair of large clamps gives more convenience, since you can use one clamp, two or three at once.
On this homemade product is ready, thank you all for your attention, as well as good luck in the new homemade products.
