Thanks for all the great ideas folks. I think I'm going to have to use the ceiling method even though I think the shelf method would be the easiest. John I like that rod method you have and it looks the simplest to hang from the ceiling. Unfortunately I don't have a vise or room for a workbench (maybe I should get a bigger house for this hobby). I might have to go with that pvc pipe method or find somekind of thick wire that I can bend with some pliers or vise grips.

Here's what I'm working with.
