BKcustoms Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 What I usually do is get a nice straight piece of wood or sometimes even a piece of styrofoam as a base and then draw out the frame on a piece of paper and glue it to the wood or foam. Then as I build the frame I stick small metal pins into the base on each side of the part that needs to be held in place while it is being glued. Hope this helps.

MachinistMark Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 1/2 or 3/8's steel plate or heck, 1/4 would even work i suppose, and a good selection of strong magnets is what i use. mine is 8x20x 3/8's inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vypurr59 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Cork tile and tee pins are another cheap and easily obtained at hardware, big box home improvement stores, craft stores and even at "wally world" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
