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. Sal
I use this when sanding. Available in supermarkets, kmart, etc.

Just lay it on your work surface with the part to be sanded on top of
it.

You might also want to try a piece of carpet pad under the workpiece. It
will hold pretty well on most surfaces, and not slip. Cheap enough - you
can probably get scraps free from a carpet supplier. Don't use the foam
junk. Use the stuff that is multi-colored (don't know what it is called).
Just lay it on your workbench, and lay your stock on it.
