Grip

[PeterL]

For those who don't know I had the second of two strokes about four years ago. I hope it will be the last This has left the right leg weakend and the right arm almost totally paralised. I want to return modeling in a small way.

Do any of you know of a grip that will help me do this? I'm looking for something that will hold a peice steady while I glue it and present the other peice to it; not as easy as it sounds. I've looked and I can't find anything. Perhaps one of you knows someone in the same possition?

There is vacuum tables for hold the small pieces and it is used in the silk print shops. Ask for small one. Other method is to use holder which also have magnifier.

I am sorry about your trouble

Greetings Pete!

Maybe a desk top mounted clamp? Even something simple like a broad / longer clamp for potato chip bags maybe of some service.

Google "third hand" or "third hands."

Here's one:

Third Hand++: A multi-use helping hand for electronics and other delicate work.

Here's a pet-grooming third arm that might be useful:

MetroVac Pro Pet Groomers, Pet Vacuums, Pet Care.Lowest Prices!

It's in the top row of images, third from the left.

Actually, I've gotten better results by using Google images instead of the Web.

Just Google-image "third hand" with no quotation marks and you should find a whole bunch of things.

Good luck.
