I was finishing some scales with CA today and remembered the wire stand that Glen had made. I didn't have the materials at hand to duplicate his, but I did have some jumbo paper clips that I thought might be a good substitute. They worked real well and could probably be made even sturdier by stapling them to a piece of scrap wood. | I was finishing some scales with CA today and remembered the wire stand that Glen had made.

I was finishing some scales with CA today and remembered the wire stand that Glen had made. I didn't have the materials at hand to duplicate his, but I did have some jumbo paper clips that I thought might be a good substitute. They worked real well and could probably be made even sturdier by stapling them to a piece of scrap wood.
