As I was browsing www.aroundhthewoods.com this morning for inspiration, I went
through some of Master Feltmate's turning tips..

Clicked on the "cutting round objects on the band saw" or whatever, expecting
yet another jig to build..

Saw a picture of a branch with a bar clamp on it, keeping the limb form
rotating.... Hmmmmm..

What a simple but effective solution to a common problem!

You are welcome. I must admit when I thought of it I smacked myself in the
forehead and said "duh!" :-)

For larger logs that are hard to clamp, I put a short board across the
end and fasten it temporarily with two screws.

Exactly!

I just freed up some wall space by getting rid of a few jigs that I'd built and
didn't really like..

I've done a little of that, but since I took off the shop-built table, my 14"
table runs out of room for much more than a clamp to rest on..
