While I am going to therapy for my stroke,and working hard for better grip in my left hand, (grip has gone from left hand 0 to 20 psi, right hand 160psi) I came up with this tempory substitute to help hold a small part while razor sawing it. This is really a good idea even if you do have a good grip because this is also a way I usually end up bleeding for the styrene gods amusement. This will keep your fingers away from the razor saw. I'm still looking for one of those nice hobbyist friend thingies that's a small vise and some movable arms tha have alligator clips on them. Physical therapy Mustang is on hold whilst I repair this Tony Nancy dragster I broke when I fell the other day remember? Now I got an idea to make some changes to it that you will see in the In Progress Projects soon.

Hey Dave, Great Idea!! Just a thought for Tools & Supplies, Harbor Freight is good for some Larger Tools. For Modeler Specific tools, Try www.micromark.com or www.scalehobbyist.comMicro Mark has been in business for over 25 years, and is in NJ. Scale Hobbyist was a Recent find, with better Prices. They are in NH. I have noticed that Lowes is starting to carry some of the Smaller versions of Vise-Grips & some other tools. I have also "Modified" wooden clothespins for some uses. These worked great, they can be Mounted to a board easy enough for Stability. (Wood Glue & Screws) Have a Great Day!! Eddie
