I saw this vid a bit ago. I'm very impressed. Might have to pony up and get me one.

I do think I would make my own out of aluminum though.

If you go to his website he has them in AL as well and in 2 different sizes. He also does some good vids on Youtube.

When the play money builds back up I will be ordering a few from him.

They have a pretty good instagram page under fireballtool.

maybe he'll offer all GJ customers a discount if we all follow him.

A few people in the Youtube machinist community have his products and have demonstrated them in their videos - Abom79 and Outside Screwball are examples, and there are probably others. His stuff looks pretty good.

I just ordered the cast iron mini set. Will post some pics and feedback once received.
I had slots put in my welding table top as well, it's great for clamping, I'm guessing I can clamp 80% of my table. Only regret is not going with a thicker top.

Those are really nice fixtures. The "mini monsters" are large enough for most home projects and made of cast iron,they should last a good long time. I'm sure I have to have these tools.Seems like such a simple idea, why didn't I think of them.

Thanks for getting the word out to Jason, @Thumper.

I didn't even realize this was a production item last night when I posted the link. I was just randomly clicking on welding vids to get me closer to quitting time.

These things will really made my trailer building easier.

Now to decide what one I need the most. Hmmm?

Hey I might have had a ulterior motive, ok I did, like I said before as soon as the toy fund gets a bit healthier I will be ordering some for myself, and it never hurts to help promote a well made home grown product.

Welcome to the site Jason. If you hadn't noticed it's a damn good place for guys like you to hang out at. ;)


When do you think you'll have more of the large self assembly kits back in stock?

I have his aluminum square. It has been a huge time saver in doing a railing project I am working on. Being able to hold a post square and offset to mounting plate has been great.

I watched the entire series of vids. Very impressed.

I was amazed at how imperfect the speed squares were.

Amazed at how perfectly square the Fire Ball squares were. Less than 5000ths out of square.

I don't think I need anything that perfect, but it's nice to know how true they are.

I need to pester the Mrs. to see if she will give some of her egg money:)

I like to support folks who contribute/support the GJ as it somewhat self serving as the amount of expertise on the site is remarkable and I have to yet find someone who wasn't willing to answer some questions or point me in the right direction when I was stuck on a project. I especially like to support small business entrepreneurs who make a great product. An example, warning...shameless plug ... is one of my new favorite items a Bux-Box wallet http://randomfab.us/index.html made by GJ member Joe aka Kaslx.

So, since I have some major welding projects coming up in my new shop build I just ordered the cast-iron fabricator package using the code Jason supplied earlier in the thread. The link has been updated to take orders if you are interested.

I played around with drafting up some patterns. Had some aluminum plate laying around. Decided to see how accurate I could get using my own tools.

I need to grab some 3" aluminum bar stock before I can go any further.

I'm not going to sell any, so I don't think there is any issue with me building my own.

I do want that magic square and the wife has the info to get me one for my birthday.
