Very well written and you've included some examples of how to create modern "wax" chucks! Thanks for for ideas and a list of benefits to explore these interesting metals. A few other uses for these fusible plugs or joints through history: Some parts washers use them to drop the lid on the fire to sn...

When I go to actually build it, I'll probably post it in the projects section to show how I do it. I have ideas to make it look clean and hopefully better than the original cables.

Unfortunately, I could only find the plastic version of the 2.5mm on allelectronics.com. Fortunately, however, I did find a metal one of futurlec.com! I'll absolutely be keeping them in mi...

I'm in need of a 2.5mm TS (2 pole) plug, two 3.5mm TS (2 pole) plugs, and a 3.5mm TRRS (4 pole) plug. I'd like for th...
