I've got a piece about 11x14 that I'm sanding the face of. The sander was
making short work of the piece but it wanted to move across the bench.
Since it was such a small part, putting a clamp on would have been more
annoying than just holding it.

So I'm just curious--what are your favorite methods of work holding for
sanding?

For something that size, I'd use the face or tail vise with a bench dog.

Absent those, one of those non-slip rubber mesh sanding mats.
