Base for "Octo-Type" Helping hands
Description
8/19/15: Updated With Tool-Holder Files: - Butterfly Needle/Syringe Holder - Dino-Camera Holder - Generic Flat Sided Tool Holder - Flat Top Tool Posts - Splash Screen Holder --------------------------------- This Is A Project Using Parts From An Old Lamp. There'S An Image Of The Donor-Lamp In The List Above. The Lamp Had A Few "Goose Necks" And Cost About 10$ On Sale, At A Big Box. The Idea Was To Use These Goose-Necks To Hold Tools On A Work Surface. First, Remove The Light Fixtures And Pull Out The Wires. Take Off The Stand. All That Remains Is The Goose-Necks And The Metal Ring Where They Are All Attached. Second, Make A Small Platform From Scrap Wood Or Drill A Hole In Your Desk. You'Ll Need A 3/8" Bolt With Two Washers And A Nut. Next, 3D Print The "Helpinghands.Stl" File, Then Attach The Goose-Neck Base To The 3D Printed Support (Or Workbench). Finally, Start Developing Your Own Set Of Custom Tool Holders For The Ends Of The Goose-Necks. Maybe A Camera Holder Or Some Wire Spools, Solder, Alligator Clamps, Led Light, Magnifying Glass, A Fan; Whatever Helps. You Can Use The Hollow Center Of The Goose-Necks To Run Usb Power, Air Lines Or Even A Vacuum Line. Anything Really. The Holes In The Wooden Platform Are For Additional Holders Or Maybe A Cut-Out For A Parts Tray... Have Fun!
