Vertical Clamps

Hi everyone.

I am cutting some dovetails, and need to cut vertical off the front lip of the shapeoko 4.

The attached picture shows what I’m doing for the smaller boards. There’s a piece of vhb tape holding it to the machine as well.

I don’t like this at all. And if it’s a much longer board I’m making vertical cuts with, I don’t have the luxury of setting it on the table.

Is there some kind of T clamp that can fasten things like this? Anyone have similar projects and what have you done?

Or see designs such as:
