A lengthy project log for a build that took twenty minutes from idea to completion is a bit pointless. My SMD soldering skills are probably average, I've built quite a lot of stuff over the years but I've always had problems keeping my components steady while I work on them. This clamp solves that problem with a very quick build and some readily available scrap.

The board in the picture is a pre-production prototype for my Pi-HF direct conversion radio receiver kit for the Raspberry Pi.
