    Hi Vos, I built my own bench, it was an old 8 ft x 3 ft.engineers work bench with 8" x 2" timber planks on top of angle steel legs, I just added a sheet of 18mm. ply to the top and cut my own bench cut out shape with a jigsaw and made my own bench pin fitting with a sheet of brass screwed over the chiselled out bench pin tail shape. This bench has served me well for 40 years now. If you are looking for a ready made bench then the Emir ones are the best, but expensive.

    I acquired and adapted my bench(es) from a 40+ year trade jeweller, who has always made his own benches!!

    They're titanium Paul. Ideal as they're pliable, strong, and don't suck too much heat away from the item being soldered.

    Hi Paul, you can buy the strips ready cut from http://knewconcepts.com/TitaniumClamps.php in the USA, or from Tamizan Savill here in the UK;http://tamizan.co.uk/knew-concept-saws/
