    Absolutely Great advice. I can't believe i forgot it..I 've even
    used sealing wax blocks too ( 4"x6-8") - forgot about those as
    well!..much cheaper than the sealing wax sticks one purchases at
    stationers and as hard as green dop wax sticks..a quick pass of the
    torch and press your workpiece into it, otr melt into a wood frame
    and hold in a drill press vise, benchmate, or use hold down clamps
    -even C-clamps on the bench top to stabilize... 

    thanks james for your information and a mental refreshening!..
    age..what can I say!
