[sdiy] look Ma, no hands! ??

[Mountain Man]

Hi, folks.  Yet-another-newbie-question <g>.   I got my new (old) scope
a couple of days ago and am really having fun with it!  I haven't
figured out some of the controls, but I'm making definite progress -
it's seriously cool seeing my waveforms on the screen :)  I particularly
love seeing the envelopes sit up and beg! <g>   My question is, how do
you hold the probes in place?  I've been dedicating one hand to doing
that, but when I start in on two-probe operations, I'm going to be short
at *least* one hand!  The obvious solution that comes to mind -clip em
on - doesn't seem like it will work (BTW, at the moment, I'm connecting
to wire coming out of a jack.  I'm interested in solutions both for
probing a wire, and probing on a board directly).  The probe tips are
too teeny and delicate. I'm sure there's a simple and elegant way of
going "no hands"  Another problem I'm having is that ground wire is too
short on my probes.  Guess I'll just graft extensions on for that one.

Thanks much,
Elby
