I have thought about a good idea for the forum. What about a Jig / Tool Gallery to show photos of the gadgets, tools, and Jigs you use to build rockets?

Upgrade NowI just like to see what others use. I really like the HPR-1 jig. I have been looking for one for sale for years since it is no longer made.
The old site is at: https://www.hightechrocketry.com/HPR-1.html
Is the purpose of this gallery to also include other types of home-made/specialized tools for sanding and securing?

I love the tube cutter. That is fantatsic.
The rest of my build parts are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, so tonight I built one of these Fin Jig's. Configured for Med. sized body tubes (2" - 5".) The only "improvements" I made were ---
1) 1/4" x 5" Eye Bolts w/ washers and wing nuts -- this was done so I could change out shims without using any tools.
2) Lined the angle cuts with sticky backed felt -- this was done so if I ever needed to do a fin repair w/ a painted tube I wouldn't scratch the paint job. (I had the felt scraps --- reason for 2 different colors).
Most of the parts were laying around but I did go to Home Depot and picked out the straightest, flatest, best piece of 2 x 6 I could find.
(Note: shims not installed in pic)
Very nice. I like it. Are the cords elastic.
