Wow - there's probably a marketing niche for a tool like that. It sure beats the hell out of trying to hold onto something, with anything else. ☺

Lantern vises don't get limelight they deserve, Captainleeward's use of such a device is a perfect example.
With a little planning, they can have a handle to grip, a shank for chucking in a lathe, flats for mill or bench vise etc. Facilitate indexing with flats in square or hex form. Even if the [your] frame is a little large, a smaller ID washer will bush the hole.......That's what Toolmaking is all about; evolving solutions.

Toolmaker51 , Hello you are so right I forgot to list to use a the washer for smaller screws thanks for reminding me.

Congratulations Captainleeward - your Screw Holder is the Homemade Tool of the Week!

Also of special note this week:

Multiple builds from thehomeengineer, including: Tool Height Setting Method, Internal Radius Cutting Method, and Lathe Bed Stop Modification (more below).

Two dividing tools: Mini Lathe Dividing Attachment by old_toolmaker and Rotary Table and Dividing Head by Nick Jonkman.
