I decided it was high time I quit clamping a piece of wood to my bandsaw table whenever I needed a fence, and upgraded to something more easily adjustable. Based on a design for a drill press fence in a recent Woodsmith Small Shops book, I came up with this cleat style fence. 
I used 2×4’s for the front and back rails, putting the 45 degree angle on them with my table saw. I bolted them to the existing threads on my bandsaw’s fence.
The fence is a piece of cherry, and the cleat parts are walnut (just happened to have some scraps).
The clamp part of the fence is pretty simple: just a hinge on top, and a tee nut sunk into the end of the fence. There’s a hole in the piece of walnut where the knob can pass through and thread into the tee nut. 
Thanks for checking it out, suggestions/questions are always welcome!

Your design seems good but the soft 2 by cleats will ding very easily and possibly warp with time; hard maple would serve you better.

I used band saw and fence to cut the surface and thin boards for book matching door panel. I’ve get success by going slow and making sure the band saw does all the work. And one more thing it’s all in the drift, find the drift in your band saw and then you can smoothly cuts the fence every time.
