I found this awhile ago and thought you guys would like this ... I not any part of the sale of the of product if you choose to purchase one from him..

This is a quick DIY post on how to make a 4-arm helping hands solder tool. This tool is extremely helpful for holding wires, connectors, boards, or anything else that you typically solder together. The arms are easy to move, and they stay put during intricate soldering tasks. I use mine every time that I solder and it makes this job MUCH easier and more fun!

That is pretty neat!  I also like the coloring.

Hmmm.. Yet something else to spend my money building

Interesting use for coolant pipes and nozzles 

They're typically used on milling machines, cold saws, and other cutting tools to spray a stream of coolant on the material you are cutting.

Much cheaper and easier to get from China/Hong Kong off ebay if you aren't in the USA.

That's an interesting project. I've seen some on instructables also but never tried them. I looked for those pipes in Brazil but couldn't find any.
