A device and a method for holding a shaft, preferably a winding shaft, hold the shaft in a clamping jaw. Multi-layer outer panels are then attached to or interconnected to surround an inflatable bladder, thereby producing a game ball while minimizing overstretching of the outer material or the backing material and improving resistance of the outer panels to delamination. The trough is used to catch both wet paint drops and dry paint chips from hitting the ground. The ability to stack a varying number of heat insulating layers in the pouch or pocket further allows the user to selectively control the warmth of the hand as the ambient temperature fluctuates during use. The pallets may be forked from any direction and provide a stabilization device for maintaining the cargo within the pallets. A control mechanism is provided which is pivotally coupled to the first member and the pivotal connection of the two links to move the two links and hence the second member relative to the first member.
