Hi all,
Inspired by Derek's use of microjig clamps on his Moxon, I bought a pair. I have not yet tricked out my Moxon, but did make a pair of sticking boards, one short (~2') and one long (~4'). The set up is basically the Microjig plans for a tapering jig and a fence. These allow quick set up stock to the edge of the sticking board and bench so these can be used to guide the fence of the grooving plane. Here's the Microjig plan (I have not affliation):

The boards have the Microjig jig as the base and each has two fences, a wide one for narrow stock and a narrow one for wide stock (i.e., larger drawers) to allow clearance of the plow plane from the clamps. And a brass screw as a planning stop. Here's the wide stock set up cutting a groove on a drawer front from the NBSS chest I've been working on:

and the narrow set up with a small drawer side.

These would not be easy to make without a router/table saw, but the good news is they do double duty on the table saw. Took about an hour and some plywood scraps. A similar sticking board can be done with t-track as well, as I think Derek has done. In other words, not my idea, but passing along my incarnation in case useful to others.
Best,
Chris
