Since I had a few leftover parts and was having too much fun to stop I made a small magnetic "minisquid". This was just a 3" base from Ace Hardware, and I just put a bolt/nut through locline to make the base, you can also buy this part from Locline but they're a little pricey.

The one attachment I really wanted was a soldering iron holder, often when I'm soldering wires together it seems easier to manipulate the wires than the iron, which this is perfect for. I found a leftover piece of 1/2" PVC that worked great for holding my iron snuggly with the power cord. There's not much to explain for this step.
