Clem

I have about a dozen small spring clamps - Home Depot.

Also have a couple of dozen cloths pins.

Also, if I can lay it flat, then on the glass work surface it goes with a 1x12 on top with a gallon paint can on top of that.

I might also put a steel wire pin through some joints for reinforcement and cover the ends over with an nbw casting later. I also have a handful of lead bricks,

I agree with all of your suggestions, small plastic clamps, gallon paint cans, bricks, weights, etc.

see examples below.
