My thanks to whoever it was that I stole this idea from. This is a a good way to get a grip on small or odd-shaped items for drilling. The jig allows your holddowns to reach areas that your standard table's t-track may not.
My original worked great . . . then my dad called . . . His apple-ply version of my BB-ply jig had de-laminated. Well, that put the whammy on me and mine de-laminated under stress that very evening (thanks Dad).
I put on my Tim Taylor hat, grabbed a scrap of beech, some t-track and epoxy, took a trip to the jig-parts box and ended up with version 2:

The slots allow for angled positions:

The knobs set low to stay out of the way:

Good for getting a good grip while keeping your pinkies out of the business area:
