I use double sided sticky tape to hold down my necks to work on them. Not a long strip, just a couple of short strips will do.

I sometimes use this vise though:

This type works well, as long as you don't have to really bear down on the neck. Not as forgiving to 'slips' though.

I heartily agree with Mr. Anderson's choice - here it is at a slightly better price: http://www.grizzly.com/products/Parrot-Vise-/H3302

Now I don't want you to get jealous, but I live about 35 miles from a Grizzy Store, and they even sell guitar parts. I buy my frets and tuners from them. You can get a 20' guitar cord as low as $10.00 and they work good to.

Actually I'm pretty blessed -- I live only 30 miles from Springfield Missouri, where I can buy hardwood, cigar boxes, and guitar parts. It's a Cigar Box Guitar builders dream.

Well, bring you're in Australia, I don't know if you can get this but I use this. We have a store called Harbor Freight. They might ship or if you know of someone in the US.

I find that the best vice is the one I haven't tried before but going back to the old stand by of bourbon or beer isn't a bad choice either.

Now if you're talking about a vise (and I think you are) then I have one on my bench that does a pretty good job. I made it using a wood tap and die, some dowels and some cabinet grade maple. The maple jaws don't mar up the piece I'm working on.
