A helping hand, also known as a third hand or X-tra Hands, is a type of extremely adjustable jig used in soldering and craftwork to hold materials near each other so that the user can work on them.

A commonly produced version consists of a weighted base, a pair of twice-adjustable arms ending in crocodile clips, and optionally a magnifying glass, held together by flexible joints.

Instead of this wooden meat, you can use any wooden piece and you don't have to make it like the pictures,i use this kitchen tool because was on hand and square base and good to attach a light on top of it, but you can do it with what you have on hand.

Third Hand Homemade

In a commercial helping hand the clips are used to hold a light workpiece in place while the joints allow the user to change the position or angle. Sometimes helping hands are augmented with modules from the adjustable coolant hose systems used with machine tools.

We can make the helping hand with what we have on hand the main thing is to have some strong wires(used electrical wires) and some alligator clips the rest is just imagination.
