    Exactly!  Figure out the path the piece will take if it goes, and put
    something soft there and shock absorbent. I have used thin foam,
    dishtowels, and cardboard when necessary. I did a big job polishing
    250 little tiny hats and all I had was a big stand-up polisher.
    After searching in the "jewelers position" for a while, I used a
    large bowl with towels inside to catch any hats that went astray.  I
    placed it right under the buffing wheel with not too much clearance.
    Saved me lots of swearing time!
