Anybody have either photo's or links to direct me to regarding Stick Pack Jigs. Did search on the Net and found all kinds of info on building side-by-side packs but nothing thus far on Stick Packs.

You might try searching through posts from js, ginsing, and bwaites. Those guys are always making high power battery packs.
Hi Dave,
Ain't much to it. All you need is a piece of angle and something to stick it to. I got this piece of wood molding from the odds and ends bucket at the local Home Depot. A piece of 1x3 to make the base and a couple of shorter pieces of angle to hold it up. Lots of wood glue to stick it all together.
Then you just use a strip of masking or duct tape to hold the pack down while you solder. You would have one loose cell in front of the semi-finished pack. Solder, smush them together, lift the tape, do another.
Ghetto? Sure. But I can do everything from AA's to D cells with efficiency and accuracy. Of course technique is key, but the jig is simple, cheap and works great.
