Amplifier Eyelet or Turret Board Rack
« on: February 21, 2022, 12:12:54 pm »
Little project I have been meaning to make.  Just got tired of clamping boards in my PanoVise when building so I put this together.  Super easy to make and a useful tool in my shop. 

Cheers!

Very nice! I used to just screw the turret board to my bench top for lacing. I could pull the laces so tight that I occasionally break one, but my bench top was starting to look like woodpeckers lived in the shop. I think I learned that trick from Doug.   :laugh:

These days I screw the turret board to a sacrificial board and clamp that to my bench top.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Nice rig!

Can you clamp the board down down tight so you can pull the lug lacing without the board moving?

I could rig something up for that but I honestly mostly do eyelet boards so not a big issue for me personally.  A clamp would be simple to add.
