i've been looking for a cut-and-clinch tool for a few years now. i'm sure somebody still makes them, but they're difficult to find.
Thanks for some really good links. That Panavise looks good and I'm sure it's worth every cent, but I decided to go ghetto on this. I was a little disappointed I had to spend $2.50 on a cheap showerhead. Everthing else was laying around.
I trimmed the showerhead down to the ball joint so I could grab the clamp. Took a bench grinder to the spring clamp handle then glued it in the threaded part that I cut from the spray adjuster of the shower head. Screwed the threaded part with clamp attached back into the shower head. Got a short 1/2" pipe nipple and stuck it to a 2x4. Screwed the shower head to the nipple. Screwed the 2x4 to a piece of scrap plywood. The whole thing took about 15 minutes.
The circuit I just built has 8 pots and some jacks and a bunch of dangleing wire. The ball joint is not quite stiff enough to completely suspend it. It sags until a pot or something just touches the plywood. I would have used a smaller, shorter clamp to lose leverage. But I think this will work real well if the pots and heavy stuff go on last. Without a doubt, it would have made this circuit a lot easier to build.
Nice gadget, Joe.
