Default makeshift vice

Morning Fellows I have a bit of a problem I don't have a proper
work bench , not enough room in garage, I use a couple of pieces of
3/4" ply on top of each other over sawhorses. I have a number of 3/4"
x 3" oak slats from outdoor benches to sand . How do I hold them
securely to be able to face sand them with out vice jaws getting in
the way.



I'd probably use my left hand. In 60+ years of chopping up wood I don't
ever recall the need to clamp something when I was sanding it unless I was
using a belt sander. Are you? If so, make a couple of plywood "L"s, clamp
the piece to be sanded between them, clamp the "L"s to table.

I do often sand on a piece of low loop carpet but the main reason is to
avoid dinging the side I am currently sanding.
