WestPaces Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi everyone. I just got my glueing jig from Micro Mark and I am delighted with it. However, sometimes I see that people have a glueing jig with two open sides which I think would be good to have also. If you have one of these can you give me the name or reference? Thank you:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestPaces Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 This is the one from Micro Mark Nell Marie. It's fantastic for keeping things square while they are being glued. I'm so glad I bought it :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Janet, I got mine with two open sides at the mini show from the Smaller than Life guy, whatever the store name was. I used it last weekend for the first time, and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw he had one for sale but I thought it was the 4 sided one Adding it to my loooong shopping list :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keifer Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I must get one of these! If I had one of these when I was making all my furniture it would have made things a lot easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yep... Those shopping lists tend to keep growing. The more you buy, the more you *need*. And honestly, I didn't really think about it having 2 or 4 sides... I just knew that a gluing jig had been on my list for years, and I never get around to remember to order one, so I grabbed it while it was staring me in the face! I think it might have cost more than the one from Micro Mark. But he was so proud telling me he milled it himself and how accurate it was, and how he tests and checks everything. And plus, it was right there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestPaces Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Not that Much more Tracy, the one I saw on his table was around $30, I paid a little over $25 for mine from Micro Mark (plus shipping). Kiefer, You MUST get one, well worth the investment :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad I bought it :) On a different subject . I'm so glad I put my real name here because every time someone writes Nell Maire it makes me think of my mother as she is the only person who overcalled me that. It so brings back warm memories Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestPaces Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I WAS just going to write Nell and then I remembered a friend of mine, whose name is Marie Philippine, tell me that she wished people would call her by her full name. So now I pay attention to these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks for the price info Janet! That makes me feel better, not much of a price difference. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shareb Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have one of these and to be honest it's not been as helpful as I thought it would be. The walls aren't perfectly square which doesn't help. I have bought it inside (from my craft cottage which has been too hot to work in lately) to help with my Vardo furniture....so we'll see.

Elsbeth Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I like my glue jig (the micromark one) PLUS I got some magnet right angle clampy things from micromark that help me with 1:48 walls. They are small transparent lucite magnet/clamps. But I did find I needed more than the just the glue jig. Plus, I need really solid right angles to press up on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yes, when I bought my jig a couple weeks ago, I also bought a small steel right angle, that was helpful with the tiny pieces. (I was making a dollhouse for 1:48, pretty tiny!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - that's what I've found too. If you find something like a solid right angle let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I like this but it is for smaller scales: https://www.micromark.com/Rite-Way-Magnetic-Clamp-System-for-HO-O-Scale And I am looking at lead weights more and more: http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/19585 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those lead blocks would be Very useful.

WestPaces Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I was just thinking, you can make a very good square angle from lego blocks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
