Hey Dave and Bob, It can be a splinter issue but it also helps clean off the green and black furry stuff on your tongue 😆 This is what I like here, the practical get the job done right without going through a 10 page report on how to do it with thousands of dollars in tools and sticky jewel holding goop, thank you Bob for your down to earth approach. (I do like buying good tools though) Bob I found J.M. Huckabees “top 300 trade secrets of a master clockmaker” for a reasonable price, he says in there that his favorite movement stand is a cardboard box or a roll of tape. A good read for anyone who hasnt already….I need to go buy some tape. I think this is a great idea for a seperate thread or a new spot to have new, workshop proven practical ideas, like Paul who used a zip tie for a small mainspring, (I think thats what he said he used) and each person documents them, sends them to you for approval and then you provide a all expense paid 2 week trip for everyone to come and visit you. 
(I like steak)
Have a great day guys, William
