THT foam compression tool

A commercial PCB holder/soldering jig is quite useful but expensive and takes up a lot of space on your work bench. We can make our own version of this jig.
Seeing we already have our magnetic High Boy tool set, lets make a compression tool end for soldering THT components flush to PCBs.
We need the following M2 hardware:
- Flat headed screw
- PCB disc of a shape you desire
- Nut
- 10mm set screw
- Knurled nut
- 15mm brass standoff
- Brass knurled nut
The following images show how to make and use our soldering compression tool set.
