 Lately, I’ve been making a lot of projects using pocket-hole joinery. I don’t have the workbench space to dedicate to a permanent setup. But clamping and unclamping the jig on my workbench was getting old.
My answer was a simple portable platform. Just three pieces of plywood and a dowel are all that’s required.

 The largest piece is the base. It supports the mount that the platform is attached to. A cleat screwed to the base from underneath prevents the whole unit from spinning while in use.

 As you see above, a dowel locks it to the workbench.
