I was at the Midwest Weavers Conference last week and noticed a couple of ladies using these round items to keep their looms from sliding and they really worked!  There are about 3" in diameter, 1" thick, seem to come in sets of four and have a non-slip, grippy surface on both the top and bottom.  One said she got them at Menards.  They seem to go by different names.  And that's all I can remember.  Does anyone know what I am talking about and can you give me a name or a set of Google search words that might help me find them?

Okay, I have continued to search for what I was looking for and finally stumbled on to it.  I thought I'd pass along the information to anyone else who might find it useful.

There are two brands of this.  One is orange and goes by "Bench Dog" - 4 for $7.99 (cheapest price I found) at Lowes.  The other is Blue and is called "Bench Cookie" and they are made by Rockler.  $12.49 is the cheapest I found for these at the Rockler website.  Both are available at Amazon.  They are designed to be used in a workshop, most often shown in woodworking, to hold your surface in place while routing, sawing, staining, etc.
