Hello Stephan,
I think this method is great, and with practice it's very quick.
Most importantly, you can determine the correct size.
Thanks for the impressive video.

Thanks Johann,
for drilling the hole it will need a better jig. To often the hole is not through the middle of the parrel. So the jig needs to be re-evaluated. Maybe I try a 3D printing thing to design, or I need to find better clothespins.

I have wooden beads in my stock of old kit stuff ( https://www.modelerscentral.com/fittings/parrels-parrel-beads/parrel-wood-packet-2-row-15-64-6mm/ ), they are 2,55 mm. in diameter. Just a little to big. Scale 1/32 is better suited, maybe 1/50

I'm happy you enjoyed the video.

The jig for drilling holes in the parrel trucks has been completed, tested, and found to be very good. I can now drill three pieces at a time, and they are drilled exactly through the center. No more mistakes.



I have redesigned a clothespin in AutoCad so that I could use the spring from an original clothespin. I have attached the STL file for this in the appendix. If you have a FDM printer you can print it for yourself. I used 100% infill and no support.
I have also attached a PDF file for the slides. If you print it at 105%, you will have the correct size for 1/75 to 1/50.

I'll try to make a short video how to use the jig, there is a little explanation necessary for it.

Very clever.
