I made a very quick and dirty "Third Hand" from an old "Lawn Dart" and a piece of 16 gauge steel.

Process was simple.
Step 1: Bend the "dart" tip at 90 degrees in a vice.
Step 2: Drill a small hole in the center of a 1" by 3" piece of 16 gauge steel.
Step 3" Lawn Dart is already threaded so screw on a nut, pass the threaded end through the hole in the 16 gauge plate and secure with another nut.
Project completed 15 minutes total time. Materials used 1 old lawn dart, 1 piece of 16 ga steel 1" by 3".
