AAMOF, I learned the following "poor painter's pyramid" about 2000
years ago:

Scrap plywood "blocks", 2" x 2" square, with a 3" drywall screw
through the middle of each.

Use four of the blocks (with the screw tip up, Woodie!) to lay your
work piece on.

And make a few dozen while you're at it .... easy and cheap!


I usta do that too but the points on the dry wall screws could and
sometimes did leave small holes, the pyramids are blunt pointed and
allow for moving the piece around on top of them if needed with out
scratching the bottom surface.



Instead of drywall screws (very sharp), you could try 16D nails. They
still come to a point, but aren't quite as sharp. You still risk dents
and dimples in those locations, but that's a problem no matter what you
use.
