Does anyone have a photo or diagram of a jig for making your own grabirons?
My message from last year on the EBT boxcar grabs:

You could build a similar one for regular grabs.
I made one similar to Bob’s, but had problems because my brass tube was too thin. Based on his initial design, I came up with one that used solid brass strips. I also made it multi-purpose so it could do all of the grabs for the steel boxcar. The two holes on the edge allow me to bend different length grab irons.

BTW, if anyone needs some 7/8" scale grab irons, I have 30 that I bought by mistake from Ozark Miniatures. You can have 'em at cost ($12) and I’ll pay the shipping.
