I would like to share a small enhancement to this hint of Uwe's:
"
PS: a small tip,: after two times a small piece was falling between the frames inside the jig, I covered the gaps between the frames with some masking tape, so that the pieces can not be lost in the "nirvana" of the jig - it is not so easy to get them out"

While it is true that it is not so easy to get parts out from under the frames there do exist places that are much worse. I have seen some pretty tight restrictions in cave systems in the Yucatan Peninsula but nothing compared to this one:

One of my ship builders who tried to cary frame 40 all by himself accidently stumbled and somehow both he and frame 40 dropped down that restriction into the cave below. Did I mention that I have big hands? I immediatelyy called in a SAR team but even for those guys a rescue attempt through the restriction failed.
In the end we had to dig a tunnel from the outside into the cave:

Thus I'd suggest to cover also these restrictions (for as long as possible)
BTW, I have also slightly modified another of Uwe's tricks. Some weeks ago I visited a model shop in Denmark to buy some brass blackening. While I was there I also put a few other small items in the shopping basket, a couple of paintbrushes, a few scalpel blades and a small 0.3 mm engraving blade. I have absolutely no idea why I bought the engraving blade. Somehow it went into the shopping basket totally impulsive. There was no price tack on it but I reckoned the price would be around 1$.
I have been suffering severely from posttraumatic stress disorder ever since I got the bill. I paid 430 DKK for this tiny blade. It makes me so depressed thinking that I could have bought more than 150 bottles of good Carlsberg beer instead. I did not even have a clue what it could be used for. But now I have at least found some use for it: Uwe told that he is using a small chisel to remove the char between the frame futtocs. Did I mention that I have big hands? My chisels are also big so I tried this engraving blade instead and it actually works pretty good.
