Hello James,

    I'm happy to hear you found that useful.  FWIW a great source for
    sturdy little jars are caviar jars.  Not that I have the taste or
    budget for caviar but a friend did and that was where I got a number
    of the handy little fellows. 

    For some reason the glass in those little jars is often incredibly
    thick so they're quite heavy for their size and tend to stay where
    they're put. They're also pretty tough: I've seen them survive more
    than one bouncing trip across the shop floor. 

Cheers,
Trevor F.
