I needed something small to spray paint some small parts on that would not allow them to stick to the table I was working on, forcing profane oaths from my mouth. Here is my solution.

Step 1: First layout your grid

I found the piece of shelving in my shop and couldnt remember what it went to, so it goes to this project. It was a piece of particle board covered in paper that looked like wood grain. This was from some sort of ultra cheap furniture, no big loss if I figure out where it goes. I used a drywall square and pen to layout a 1"x1" grid on the board allowing some room on the two edges for clamps, should I need to clamp t to something. Honestly I just layed out the grid until the square wouldnt fit then called the undone section "clamp space."

This just gave me a fantastic idea. I have a grid laid out similar on my bench. 1"x1" if I send 2" or 3" screws through the intersections up from the bottom I will have a custom paint surface so I can paint more than 1 side at a time... Thanks for the post and the idea!

I thought about having a dedicated spot on a bench for painting but i dont do enough of it and i was a little daunted by having all of these screws pointed up at me all the time. Please be careful. Thanks for viewing my instructable.

I have a old gear driven drill / driver in this fashion. Everyone makes fun of it, but it works everytime, All the time.

Honestly i think that my old brace is just as fast as a cordless if you include charge time and cussing because the batteries are dead. I think the big tool companies, who want us to buy their tools, overlook these wonderful devices because they cant sell more stuff with them. Thanks for looking at my instructable.
