This was more for cutting short stock Russ. Had a scrap of brass about an inch square and needed it 1/2 thick, it could be done using your method but you need two pieces of flat for jaws and a spacer at the far end to keep the jaws square. This pops in and out in seconds and seams safer for the tiny stuff.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
