I use these things

or a drill press vise to hold Vee blocks in messy setups. The vee
block can be raised on an adjustable parallel and the vise can be
clamped to the table.

Or make a vee block out of aluminum or such and drill and tap it as
necessary for custom setups. I cast mine from scrap hard solder in a
wooden mold.
