I needed a new set of helping hands for a long term project I've been working on. Lots of soldering and fiddly bits and my old helping hands have been falling apart. All that's left is one alligator clip and the cast iron base.
I found two Black and Decker Snake Lights at a junk shop for $2 each. These were from the 90's with good ol' incandescent torch globes. I'd been looking for something similar to make my helping hands and thought these would do perfectly. I'm keeping one for an LED conversion later.
One of these snake lights should be able to make 2 to 3 helping hands.
The only tools you'll need for this are:
- Thermoplastic (http://www.plastimake.com)
- 2 x Large Pliers or Pliers and a Vice
- Scissors or a box citter/exacto knife
- Star shaped security screw driver (optional - you could crack/smash/destroy the case open)
- Alligator Clip/s
- Kettle for boilding water
- Oven (Optional for molding)
