Right, but King has a specific piece that fits the crown race perfectly to make sure that the race does not get damaged.

It's the correct race for the steerer, extremely tight fit. It was greased.

I'm wonder if I can support the fork by bracing it by the underside of the fork crown, resting it on a padded structure that would be the same shape - curve - of the fork crown. By supporting it only by holding it, no matter how firmly, isn't very effective. Too much energy is absorbed by my hand rather than going to the crown race.
