    Looks like you need to make some soldering clamps.

    I was doing a very similar balancing act today!

    Lol. I can't get on with the clamps, but do use cotter pins of various misshapen forms. I often resort to inventions that Heath Robinson would be proud of. Looks like you do too! .

    That made me laugh!

    I resorted to carving bits out of my honeycomb block this weekend to keep some awkward things in the right place.

    Yes they are brilliant, but in titanium you need strong hands to open them, and cant do it with one hand. If you get organised before you start soldering they work very well.

    Since I started using titanium clamps I have found many uses for the strips, I have milled a few strips thinner and then pierced them lengthwise making narrow strips and bent some clamp shapes for smaller jobs.

    I really should make some clips. I have dine steel but I just never quite get around to it.
