Cheap jigging squares - harbor freight
« on: February 08, 2012, 10:02:04 AM »
HarborFreight has aluminum carpenters rafter tri-angles on sale for 1$ with there latest ad coupon /flyer. These are great for squaring up fuselages on the board, making sure stab is level, etc.

Can't go wrong for a buck, the plastic ones at Home Depot are a couple bucks more and they crack, get glue on that won't scrape off, and warp if you leave then in the hot sun.

Hi Bill,

Great tip!  You can never have too many fixtures for jigging and building!

My kids have grown up and left.

I use their leftover Leggo blocks. Square, adjustable & free!

Got my order in today from the magnets supplier somewhere mentioned in here.... Heavy....  n~ Good magnets! Dreading to make the triangles... Is there anyone that would make these out of 1/8 ply with a laser that can be reasonable priced? Could not find them on harbor freight...
