Protecting cufflink arms when soldering

[Dennis]

T I was also thinking about creating fixed t-bar's but not sure what the best dimensions are for this? I've seen some where one side of the top bar is longer than the other side...but as I've never actually worn cufflinks I don't know what the best fit is?

A quick visit to a shirt shop would clarify things for you Victoria and allow you to browse the cufflinks on offer. If cutting the fixed bar from sheet, it is usually tapered as in my sketch. The second fixing can be a button, a ball, or a cone shape. If using a torpedo, or cross bar, the cufflink would have to be rotated afterwards, so is more fiddly to use.

The inner distance from button to button is about 12.00mm. Dennis.
