Jack,
I have not built it yet, but have been thinking about the same thing.
I am inclined to simply use a piece of pipe to stick it into - I would mount
a 1 inch pipe flange to something sufficiently large and heavy to serve as a
base, thread a short nipple into that and top that off with a 45 degree
elbow, then thread a 6 inch pipe into the open end of the elbow. Some sort
of shield would be needed for the pipe - perhaps a set of fins made by
cutting flaps in the side of a soup can and bending the flaps inward. Paint
it with high temp paint if desired.
My thoughts -- a 1 inch pipe hole is large enough to aim the tip at without
fussing. In the supporting base, I would mount an electrical switch and a
receptacle so I can easily turn the Haako 808 off (IMHO, they should have
installed a switch on that tool).
I admit that this would not look 'tidy' but would work for me.
73,
Don W3FPR

Has anyone come up with a good holder for the 808, or seen such a beast?
There must be a better way to hold the tool when not actively in use.
Suggestions?
