'''Hold down method''': Screws, nails, clamps(must make these). Vacuum table in the future.
Note that the hold-down table has a grid of threaded T-Nuts that you can/should use to hold down your material. If you wish to make your own sacrificial / holding system, simply prepare to fasten it down to this grid pattern.  The spacing of the threaded nuts is 4.861"  (123.63mm) on both the X and also Y axis.  Wtf is that spacing?  Why not a nice round English or Metric spacing?  Well, that is the spacing of the channels in the underlying bed.  Get used to it and make your templates.
