Pretty simple and sure works great for hard to hold pieces. Tom Lipton used 10-32 holes, see his you tube video on his mini palette setup.
After looking at your photos, I just realized an additional 'feature' of the clamping plate with array of holes...clamping at a specific angle! It's been right under my nose the whole time... :embarrassed:
