For a better grip

[Dave Mikrut]

While I am going to therapy for my stroke,and working hard for better grip in my left hand, (grip has gone from left hand 0 to 20 psi, right hand 160psi) I came up with this tempory substitute to help hold a small part while razor sawing it. This is really a good idea even if you do have a good grip because this is also a way I usually end up bleeding for the styrene gods amusement. This will keep your fingers away from the razor saw. I'm still looking for one of those nice hobbyist friend thingies that's a small vise and some movable arms tha have alligator clips on them. Physical therapy Mustang is on hold whilst I repair this Tony Nancy dragster I broke when I fell the other day remember? Now I got an idea to make some changes to it that you will see in the In Progress Projects soon.

That's not a bad idea whether you have "normal" grip strength or not. You might want to add a few layers of masking tape to the jaws so that whatever you clamp down on doesn't get damaged.

Not a bad idea, Dave. I keep my 1:1 tools seperate from my modeling tools and never think to mix them. I'll have topen my mind. Hope you're continuing to recuperate.
