Hi All,

I recently made these
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RoscoHead/etc/tool01.jpg to attach the
light poles to my bridge. They're one-off fairly specific tools, but made a
big difference 'cos I had over 50 to attach, and wanted to make sure they
were all nicely centred.

I also usually have one of these
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RoscoHead/etc/tool02.jpg or these
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RoscoHead/etc/tool03.jpg lying around to
help with removal of stubborn friction pins.

These are all technic related building tools "built from LEGO to help build
with LEGO" (is that a neat line or what?). I was wondering if anyone else
has built tools with LEGO (one-off or "permanent") to help them with their
building?
