my version of a third hand
« on: November 02, 2019, 02:27:39 PM »
Jim had asked about a build thread about my third hand in the Beyer Peacock thread. I don't have a SBS of the builds but I did make a few and sold them for 175 Canadian I do not intend to make any more but here are a few pictures of some that I have made they are pretty self explanatory.

Those are really impressive Mike.  :ThumbsUp:  Looks like something Clickspring would make.

Thanks for posting.

Those are really nice, Mike!
Look a lot better than the cheap little alligator-clip version that I have!

Beautiful sets, have to see how big a bribe it will take to get the shop elves to make one up for me...

Hi Mike another here whose eye was caught by that delightfully elegant third hand in your locomotive build. 

I particularly like the variety of end fittings so you can use it for different types of work, especially the silver soldering.

Beautiful design work that has certainly given me a few ideas, thank you for posting it.
