I forgot to ask earlier...are those silver circles set in the front edge magnets for holding work pieces?

Give the credit to Michael @ MGB Guitars. I saw he made one in one of his videos and like y'all thought it was a great idea. Jock, you can get Helping Hand stands that have a magnifier on them. I just happen to have this one laying around so I used it. The magnets across the front are handy too ;-)

That will be useful for an enthused builder.

Nice idea and keeps everything in the right place. Those crocodile clips are so handy for holding small parts. These days I find I need a stand magnifier too!

Great idea...I always struggle with soldering. This gives a sold platform, iron stand,  holds and spare solder all in one package. Great!
