I've occasionally seen adjustable supports for holding one end of a

support? More usefully, any pictures [urls] showing an idea I can
copy/modify? I have a tail vise that can be used to hold it in place.

My grandfather, and the cabinetmaker I worked with for a time in the UK,
called them "board jacks":

DAGS" "board jack workbench"

Also a deadman... but board jack is more common.
