Keeping thin parallels where you want them

I picked this up from John on one of my visits

When you need to work close up to the jaws of your vice the parallels can get in the way, so you use thin parallels but these can be a pain to keep in place, so simply slip a coil spring between the parallels to keep then up against the jaws:- like this

Same here. Plus, the steel banding itself makes nice thin parallels.  :dremel:

Its the passing on of tips like this that help make this site so good.
Some of us new to the game (well perhaps just me) struggle to see
 the most elementary solutions. Please keep them coming.  :thumbup:
