Hi LarryD. I was very sorry to learn that this happened when you reported it earlier today. I immediately submitted a report to the powers that be at Arduino to be certain they are aware of the situation. I'm really hoping that this precious resource for our community can be restored to its former glory.
I was looking through the source of the posts and saw that some of the images that are still here seemed to have made it through the migration just fine. I realize that some of the remaining ones are here because they were hotlinked from external sites, but I do see others that seem to have been migrated. Do you have any ideas of what is different between them?
Unable to discern any differences in images.
If people want to see some of the missing images(not all), Google has some.

Make a double arm for your ‘High Boy’ stand.
Bend a stainless-steel bicycle spoke into a closed narrow oval as seen in the images below.
Silver solder the two ends of the spoke together.
Fit the double arm over the compression washer of the High Boy stand.

Keep your tools organized with vibrant coloured zipper, lined pouches.
Convince the sewer in your house to make some tool storage bags for your workbenche(s); treat that person to a night out on the town (after Covid).
Use a heavy denim for the pouch material.
Large zippers are best for tool storage.
The colourful zippers will be a clue to the pouch’s contents.
Store your tool pouches in the area where those tools are most often used.

I'd started my own thread index on the old forum but it's nowhere as complete as yours.
Still working on the index, might be finished in about 1 week. 
Self-supporting, reversed action tweezers are good for holding wires, switches, and other small components.
You can rotate the self-supporting tweezers by 90° to change the orientation of what is being held.
If you own regular reversed action tweezers combine it with a magnetic stand.
Now the tweezers act like the commercial version; the combination is actually better.
The regular tweezers and magnet stand is more stable than the free-standing version.

Open ended double arm
Further to post #905, Make a double arm for your ‘High Boy’ stand.
The closed and silver soldered narrow oval arm discussed in the above post can be made differently.
The following images show an open-ended double arm which is much easier to make and is as effective or even better than the original.
The open ends are rounded over using a concaved Dremel silicon dioxide bit.
As seen before, the double arm can be slid in and out to adjust its reach; items can be easily attached with a simple: screw, washer and thumb nut, wing nut combination.
Adding a binder clip, as seen below, allows you to hold items at 90° to the surface it touches.
If the double arm height is shorter than the item it is securing, you then have that item under downward spring compression.
As a result, you can add DCM, epoxy etc. glue to join the two pieces, and letting the glue set until things dry.
There are a few more advantages of using a double arm with your High Boy Stand that will be covered in subsequent posts.
Concaved bit:
The double arm can be twisted by 90° Giving it a vertical orientation.
The wing nuts are tightened to lock the double arm vertical.
In this position, we can add different tool ends that need the double arm vertical.
For the SMD hold down clamp, we can also make a double arm which has the loop end bent at 90°.
With the arm bent like this we can again accommodate tooling ends needing the double arm vertical.

Make a tool for the open ended double arm.
See post #919 also.
Stainless steel (SS) rods with attached SS screws has been presented a few times in this thread.
Below is a discussion describing how to silver solder a SS screw to the SS rod.
What we need to do is keep the rod in the same plane as the threads on the screw.
Two equal sized .06” thick aluminum plates are aligned and clamped together.
Three inline 2 mm holes are drilled in the plates.
The top and bottom plates will now have perfectly aligned holes.
Drill a 1/4” extraction hole to the left of the center hole in the bottom plate.
The two plates are held together and separated by brass standoffs.
A short brass standoff is added to the center hole of the bottom plate as seen in the below images.
Add a 1/4” aluminum washer to the top of the middle brass standoff then screw your SS M2 screw through the washer into the standoff.
The aluminum washer prevents silver solder from getting on the brass standoff and the threads of the screw.
The SS rod is inserted through the top plate and into the top screw opening.
A blow torch is needed to melt silver solder.
You must add silver solder flux to the SS rod and screw top.
Use sandpaper to clean the silver solder wire then add flux to the end.
Using the tip of the inside blue flame from the torch, melt a small amount of solder to the junction of the rod and the screw top.
Let cool and unscrew the rod, remove the assembly through the extraction hole in the bottom plate.
Nice tip, I've made something similar, but much primitive!
Cheers!

Hi mate,
Do you ever get time to actually make projects and not just tools? ? ? 
Tom..... 
Well you see it’s this way:
Between 8AM and 8PM, I make things.
Between 2AM and 5AM, I design the tools and techniques for the previous day’s shortcomings.
