A Small Rig
The wooden surface offered firm traction. Near the ceramic mug, I found an abandoned metal watch strap, links folded like a miniature ladder. Using the brass wire collected earlier, I threaded a loop through the end pin. It took several careful turns to tension the wire securely against the edge of a coaster. A sturdy improvised anchor. I tested the load with two firm tugs. It held without shifting. Good gear is never found whole; it is assembled.
