(Back to the original question) Depending on what I'm doing I've used an old fork to hold stem/bars etc in place while I service a fork or such. Kinda makes me wonder if there's a product on the market that would be easier. Heck a PVC tube in the right diameter with some sorta stop would be fine. Maybe the 3D print crowd could get on this? @shrpshtr325 ?
EVT makes one. It is $$$ (for what it is) as expected.
You can easily make one with the tapered steerer from a ruined fork. Chop off the crown, and then give the outside of the remaining (straight) steerer a light sanding to slightly undersize it. If you have access to flaring/tapering equipment, you can then take the original top of the steerer, and taper it for easy insertion.
