Smithy Extras I should buy

Has anyone found a way to lock the lathe spindle on a 1324 Granite? It would come in handy for manual threading. The machine doesn't seem to be powerful enough to do power tap and die threading, so I'm trying to do manual. It is handy for starting threads with the appropriate attachments in tail stock. The spindle is hard to hold and run the taps and dies. I just don't have three hands!
