I bought a new pickup truck. Then I bought a set of side step rails to install on it.
To install the brackets for the rails I had to crawl under the truck. It was dark under there but I had a flashlight.
I needed both hands to install the brackets, and holding the flashlight so I could see the working area was a challenge.
I needed a base to mount the flashlight in so it would stay upright and aimed.

| Scrap of wood. 15 degree hole. |
Nothing pretty. A scrap of wood left over from a previous project. Unusual shape, but a good weight and broad footprint to keep the flashlight from easily being knocked over.
I used my CNC with my adjustable angle clamping fixture to hold the board at 15 degrees from horizontal. The hole was just a bit larger than the base of the flashlight so I could line it with some cork. The cork provides a good friction fit so the flashlight stays in place.
My Adjustable Clamping Fixture.
Simple.
Useful.
