Quick and Easy Soldering Iron Holder

[tstombaugh]

Wanting to rebuild my 18V battery pack for my cordless drill , I found I had misplaced the holder for my soldering iron.

To get started on my battery pack project, I made a holder from a piece of scrap 2 x 4, pipe clamps and screws. I found the holder to be very stable
and very easy to use and I favor this one over the one that came with
the soldering iron.

Material List

(2) 2 X 4 X 1" long approx.
(2) 1/2" metal pipe clamps
(4) Screws

Pictures of the holder can be found in the URLs listed below, (I have not
yet figured out how to upload pictures from my PC to this site. I am using
Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit.)

definitely quick and easy!

To post pics just cut and paste the code that's in the "IMG code" box in the "Share this image" box on the left hand side of the screen on your photobucket page.

Good deal in a pinch.


I was going to walk you through how to post a picture but Tom beat me to it

I took the liberty of posting one of your pic's though( it's too nice not to share)

Note to everyone...This is not my picture...it belongs to Tom.

Sure wish you had posted this last year when I was working on 6 leaded glass windows plus and entry door! Great work.

BTW, Photobucket also allows for a clickable thumbnail which some may find easier to navigate...

Cool holder. You will get a lot of use out of that. Good job.

Very clever idea. Inexpensive and effective. I need to make something for my soldering "gun". The hot end doesn't really present a problem, but I like the idea of a dedicated "holder". Same holds true for my "hot glue gun", which does present a problem with dripping.

I couldn't find mine at one point and used a wire clothes hanger to make a soldering iron holder. Then bent it back to a to it's original use when I was done.
