your videos are very helpful and articulate
I’ve had one for a few years with the extra pack of magnets. I use it a lot. All my corners were exactly 90 degrees, even after shipping to northern Alberta, Canada. Thanks for the video. I’m always interested in more tools & new ideas.
thats a great jig
Just bought one based on one of your prior videos of the build! Another great video!
They are amazingly handy. Enjoy.
i checked mine with a square and my 123 blocks
hi Ron.. that is an awesome tool.. with as much stuff that i do i should invest in one.. i'll put it on my birthday wish list... thanks for sharing.. vinny
bnsf6951 Yes, Vinnie, with all of your scratch building I think you would really benefit.
I use computer case door with " Science Museum Mechanics Laboratory " Roadster and Dragster kit.Like meccano but thick plastic. Meccano I use as well but the SMML has 90 degree parts that are 9mm square I drill holes bigger to take powerful magnets glued into the plastic holes. Great for making jigs and holding awkward part to dry.
Outstanding. I'd enjoy it even if I didn't do any model railroading.
Thanks for that nice comment and for watching.
if out of square just shim out with thin metal tape.
simple DIY build.
It is a cool tool. Good point about checking for square. I made my own from some plate steel and bar stock. Used a vertical mill to make it dead on true.
You asked about the one tool I can not do without..hmm tough one..#11 exacto???, good pair of rail nippers??, good quality soldering setup?? Cant just pick one..just like you cant pick your favorite child..lol
Keep up the good work.
Greg
Greg Burzynski Thanks for chiming in. You obviously have some machining skills and access to tools that I do not. Wish i did. That is pretty cool.
I clicked to close Jeff Ford pop up too. I do have the same cookie sheet from micro mark as you have. great tool. had it for years now. Bye for now.
Thx u sir.. i was one who asked about it. Funny thing... since i saw it i have been looking eveywhere including micro mark , guess i shoulda looked with my eye open... lolol
Matthew lund Glad to help. I know you will love it once you get one.
Lolol....fast reply thx.... oh and its ordered !!!! Also found ho scale ruler. 3 rd one i have ordered.. keep gettin wrong ones for some reason !!!! Thank you again !!!!!
Ron, just starting watching your channel in earnest. Lionel Strange gave you a shout-out on the last What's Neat This Week (Ken Patterson and Co.) and thought I would check you out. I'm a stickler for quality production and your videos certainly hit the mark. Quick note on the gluing jig: I bought one of these as well but the thing was so out of square, I returned it for a replacement. MicroMark customer service is very easy to work with.
Thanks and looking forward to catching up on your videos!
Hi, Robert. Welcome to the channel. Yes, Lionel is a good frined. Sorry to hear about the out-of-square gluing jig. I've not heard of anyone having that problem. Mine is very much in square and I use it all the time. Thanks for the comment on video quality. I am pure amateur, but I really try to keep the quality high and continually improving. I hope to continue to see you around here.
Eric linked this vid in his credits. great video.
CSX3026 Yes, he is a great guy. Thanks for watching. I am glad you lied it.
Yeah, I got the link from Eric too and have been checking out your vids, so I subscribed so as not to miss any. Great job.
CSX3026 Welcome aboard. I think you will like the stuff I have in production. I'm pretty excited about it. Thanks for watching and subing.
I don't know what happened to the video quality on this one. It looked great on my computer. I don't know why it seems to go blurry a few minutes in on here.
Dude, the Royals?
Yuo, lived around KC all my life.
Just subscribed, Great video. Ed
Eagle Valley Model Railroad That's awesome. Thanks for sunscribing. I am working on my next vid right now--using mockups in kit-bashing and scratch-building projects.
...and, I just checked and you are officially my 100th subscriber. Congrats. I should have a prize, but I don't. I think I will give you a shout out on my next video though.
That's prize enough for me . Happy Modeling.
Got a glue jig from Amazon.
I know you will enjoy it.
Ron, i have a set of plans from the Evenston station in Wyo. that i would like to convert to a pdf fine but i am not sure how to do it.
I am curious, some of you tell me what is the one tool you would never want to be without in model railroading?
Computer, need I say more.
No doubt, Eric.
No doubt!
a tool called the chopper...you can build your own
My Swiss Army Knife - mine has pliers, two blades, scissors, flat and phillips screwdriver and is the take anywhere tool kit.
what type of glue and process do you use for white metal kits. Pat Rivard
+patrick rivard I don't do much with white metal except a few details, but when I do I use CA. (Sorry if that sounded like a Dos Equis commercial).
So I bought a micro mark jig as you suggest. I got 8 magnets with two steel plates. On all 8, one of the steel plates is not attached. It has to be intentional. Any explanation why? Seems to make squaring much harder.
Mine are the same way. I'm not sure why. If you lay the magnets flat they work best, in which cars the absence of one steel plate doesn't matter. Someone suggested to me that I could epoxy the other plate on, but I have never done so.
Great shirt but you mispelled Dodgers lol
#ForeverRoyal #TrueBlue 👍👍
what is a good hammer for attaching track?
+Dale Saylor I don't nail my track down anymore, but I have a track nail hammer that works for that. I will see if I can find a link.
Ron I got to say ,I saved my money,for around 10$ including 20 magnets I built my own..no offence Micro Mark seems like a good store but to someone with very limited funds 25$+ is a bit steep..
+VirgoMale74 Hey, I am ALWAYS in favor of DIY if you can. Awesome.
With my fat fingers and old eyes I need tweezers and a good magnifying glass. I don't know how you guys do it in N scale!
SA ModelRail I will confess that it can be tedius at times. I am getting to where my bifocals aren't enough--I'm about ready to invest in a magnifier. But you can suggest a lot of detain in N scale and trick they eye into seeing what isn't really there, plus you can do so much more in the same space. That and the sheer challenge ( N scale is less than 20% of the mrr market) are why my experiment in N scale 20 years ago stuck.
I have a layout idea but considering my space, it would only be feasible in N. That has scared me off so it is good to see people who have done it successfully. Thanks.
SA ModelRail Honestly that's how I got started in N. I was young and moved evry couple years and was going to be years away from being able to build a reasonabke HO layout as I planned, so I tried N to build something portable to "tide me over"...and it still is after 20 years.
How do can you spend all money on your train?
I don't spend a lot, but I have spent a little at a time over the course of nearly 30 years.
Great info show Ron, Thanks. Hope to see trains running on your fine layout. Bob, Longshadowsmodeltrees.com
Widi1956 Thank you so much. That layout tour is coming very soon.
