NiftyBender Deluxe - A tool for the stripboard user.

Step 3 Putting the NiftyBender together.

  
You now have two identical pieces of stepped stripboard ready to assemble.

Roughen up the mating surfaces of the boards to give the glue better grip.
Using the pliers, gently press the pins into one of the boards at the three corners and one in the middle.  These are so you can accurately align them and to give strength.  The pins should be inserted so the second board will fit flush against the first.

Apply a few drops of glue to one side then very gently put the sides together, pushing down with the pliers close to the pins.  Do this in several stages so as not to break the board.

Once the glue is set, tidy up the edges and the angles with a Dremel / file.  Leave a bit of the serrations on the long edge but smooth off the stepped edge. Cut off the excess connection pin and smooth off the top.

You have now made the original NiftyBender, but . . .
