When I am trying to match my dividers to an exact distance, I set the calipers to the distance I need, and then I lightly press them into a piece of aluminium. Then it's a snap to match the points of the dividers to the impressions I just made! 😀
Wouldn't it be better if you put the solder on the inside? It's pretty tricky to get it in there, but I imagine flooding it would be simpler and the outside wouldn't need cleaning up.🤔
what about flooding a small amount of solder on the bottom piece, then flip the whole works upside down and solder it? you would be applying heat to the bottom so solder shouldn't flood onto the prongs right?
@@DiamondMounter I use solder paste on small attachments; for stronger reinforcement, just tack in a couple of places.. then you can finish with hard solder. FYI : solder paste comes in all metals & all hardness and no flux needed. Try it!!
If it bothers you that the tool ideas in your head haven't been made yet then make them. Make them and market them. What's the old saying ? Nothing ventured nothing gained ?
@@DiamondMounter I think you would do well and make a good tool designer. You kinow what we need and don't have or what we aren't utilizing enough of. I would go with a doming block with more simples. More places on a bezel block for that bastard size that's just under or over.

I think would work but its gonna look messy inbetween the prongs.
@@DiamondMounter good to know, I'll trust your way.
First comment! Another excellent video 👍🏻

Wouldn’t it be easier to use solder paste to, at least, tack down & then it would be easier to control the hard solder
Never used solder paste maybe I should get some

@@joyceeberner HI! Can you provide a link or tell us where to purchase precious metal solder paste? Thanks so much!

Yes! Its on my mind to venture in to tool design
