This is my attempt at building a simple 3rd hand for soldering. You can read my blog post at https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2018-10/21-diy_third_hand_soldering_helper

## Needed materials:

* about 1m Aluminium wire (5mm diameter), cut to two 30cm and two 20cm pieces
* 4 51mm alligator clamps
* 1 300x100x2mm perforated metal sheet (only thickness matters) - they are sold to connect wood beams
* 2 10x2mm magnets (for the optional bowl)

## Assembly

The holes in the metal sheet are probably not perfect aligned with the corner pieces. Simply drill them a bit bigger. I used a 8mm drill.

Print four corners, four clamp holders (use brim) and optionally one bowl.

* Fit the corner pieces on the metal sheet
* push in the wire (make a slight L-shape and rotate the wire to get it in easier)
* put the clamp holders on the wire (might need some light sanding on the wire)
* put the clamps into the holders
* push the magnets into the bowl (use glue if too lose - I did not need
