    Judy - 	How tiny is "really tiny"? I have a series of machinist
    clamps which I use, and the smallest ones are less than an inch
    long, and will open to about 3/4 of an inch. They are standard
    machinist clamps, and as they are made of soft steel they can be
    filed to shape on the clamping ends. You can make your own
    equivalent clamps of whatever size you wish, using even more
    malleable metal for the clamping surface.
