I do a lot of work with small pieces, so I had to come up with a couple of work holding solutions.
11"x14" drop with clamp for hewing riven white oak brace:
Dutch inspired trestle. I was having trouble repairing braces and studs from my Dutch barn project. Horses just walked around when I tried to chop or pare. With the trestle, there is no wiggling at all. It's six feet long, so very short pieces I clamp across just one end.
