Anyone who has put together 1/24 scale beadlock rim's knows they can be a little fiddly sometimes. Some sets line right up and some sets will test your vocabulary. Today I had a set of the latter variety so I decided to make a jig to keep them lined up wile putting the screws in.
I started with a small block of wood, marked the screw holes on the wood, cut some paper clips down to short lengths, drilled appropriate sized holes and glued the paperclips in place. Took a bit to figure out. I made the mistake of putting a paperclip pin in each screw hole when I realized I still need to put screws in there! pulled two of the pins back out at opposite ends and it works like a charm.
