I made a similar version of this and it does work well.

Great tip, Tom. I too, have often struggled to figure out a way to hold small pieces. Thanks!

Thank you Tom. I made one before breakfast today. It worked well AND used up a little more of that kelterment from under the bench!

Another good hook to add to the collection! How thick did you make the fence/stop on yours?

You could use it as a shooting board, too.

Hi Dorje,

The overall width of the hook is 13”. This was just a piece of scrap I had so I didn’t cut it at all. the width of the stop is 2”, again just a piece of scrap. The stop is 1/4” thick hardboard, glued to the MDF base. I wish I made this a few months ago. It took 5 minutes to make and works wonderfully.
