    I just want to remind everybody that any time you are trying to get
    a grip on something awkward, or support something delicate while you
    work on part of it, Jett Sett (or equivalent) can be a godsend. I've
    had mine for maybe three years, but only recently have really
    started to use it. It is an absolute miracle for laying, say, a
    piece with bezels all over it on its face, all supported in every
    detail, so I can hammer something without smashing delicate parts.
    Or for holding onto a briolette and even clamping it in a vise...
