What I did in order to contain items that might take flight was take a cardboard box and make sure that the bottom secure. Box size is to your liking and allowing for what you may be working on. I then cut off the upper flaps, then cut a round hole in each end of the box just big enough for my arms to slip through. Keep the holes down towards the bottom so that items can be picked up off the bottom of the box as required. I then duct taped a piece of glass (a sheet of clear plastic will also work) to the top of the box. The item I'm working on is then inserted in the box through one of the arm openings along with the necessary tools, etc. Then simply look through the glass to work on the project and have fun watching the now trapped flying bits land right under your nose. This worked great when applying handrails to the Proto C-liners, puttings springs into Kadee couplers. The list is endless. Just one word of caution - if a bit decides to fly, do not
remove your arms from the box until you have located the bit inside the box as it may have landed on a shirt sleeve.

Simple answers. 1. because these flying objects often have
an incredible bounce/rebound factor when they land.
2. because you unwittingly kicked it there with
your big clod-hoppers. (assuming they are big, but
regardless ... you get the idea.) <:>)
Wouldn't it be nice if we could convert into cash the
time we spend looking
for something that went flying or got up and walked away
from where we put
it down?
