Stickvise back in stock and other updates

First and foremost - Stickvise is back in stock at Hackaday, thanks to all who have waited!

Has been a while since I have posted to the blog, so here are some of the latest Stickvise developments:

Full Metal Stickvise Build

There have been a couple of neat custom Stickvise builds, first a fellow hacker in the Netherlands named Martijn built his own Stickvise from scratch and posted a video of his build along with a time lapse video showing how he used it to solder a Geiger counter project together!

For details on his build, see his project on hackaday.io:

Wooden Stickvise Build

Another hacker, Matt from the UK, took a completely different approach, instead of the over the top machined metal build, he threw together a fully functional Stickvise from wood scraps and other hardware he had lying around!  It's cool to see people building my design from scratch using what they have on hand.  Honestly it means more than if they bought it because of the thought and time that goes into building this from scratch.

Stickvise Crossbow

I'm working on a bunch of 3d printed parts that will (hopefully) turn a stock Stickvise into an office crossbow.  Stay tuned for more updates on that:
