Handy Homemade Machine Screw and Bolt Holder

I am lucky enough to get the pick of the scrap from a local auto repairs garage, and a very regular item is the bottom front suspension bush mounting from various VW/Audi models.

I'll have to make one of these(probably more) and a blank for odd sized shafts/tubes. Thanks for the idea as I was just sitting here trying to think of how to hold some old 303British military rounds to drill out the primer pockets for shotgun primers. This will be a go to for many projects.
