Helping the "helping hands".

Every maker has one of those inexpensive "helping hands" with magnifier bases. They are great except for one problem. They tip over easily. So here is a simple base to widen the footprint of the helping hands making it virtually impossible to tip over. You can simply rotate the arms 180* to remove the helping hands from the base, tool free.

I like M3-0.5 T10 screws so the arms are designed to fit the head of that screw. Most pan style head screws should work just fine.
