Neat Idea, Small Part Holder

Yea, just farting around, an thought, how can I make a cheap parts stand, just for small parts, what have I got around the house? SO! bingo it hit me, I have an old cribbage board, and some plastic sprue, and loads of wood'n match sticks, check it out:

OK, I use a cribbage board for building Kustom BB headers, that's another tip all together, well as you can see I only need part of it, so I cut off what would work:





Took some wood matches, an well just plugged them into the holes, after I cut the tops offa them:





VOLLA!, ok so you get the idea, here is how you would mount the piece to your, tooth pick, take a piece of tape, stick one corner of the tape to the holder, give it a twist, so that the sticky side is back to facing you, then wrap, yea around the holder, not to tight but not to lose, you can work out that part, heck ya could even use a wire coat hanger, with a roach, errrrr I mean a gator clip on the end...

OK update for this lil booger, get some of these from Wal-Mart, kid's craft section, take them and Elmers glue them to your match sticks, oh an yea you can even use them to pin the whole thing till the glue set's, heheheheheh, as you can see use old sprue's with a lil L clip'em in, and bingo....

Note sure you can use this as a body stand too, OH, an it wont tip over...

Excellent idea.

I made my own version of this years ago.. Never thought of using and old or cheap cribbage board!! :roll:
