Has anyone made a vertical vise for holding material? I want to start doing some things like dovetails, ect and have some ideas on a method for holding but would like to see any pics you may have so i don't reinvent the wheel.

Rather then make a conventional type vise with a screw in the center i'm thinking i want to clamp both ends and have something on the bottom to register it at 90 degrees with a bottom support and something on the side.

Many people have done this over the years...there are plenty of examples to choose from. Gary even did a write up about it.
