Feels like 80% of mechanical diy complexity comes from clamps, holders, jigs, and fixtures to hold things in position with the right accuracy, tension, rigidity etc. It’s like tactile transhumanism. Extensions of opposable thumbs. Level 2 is moving (tracking) in the right motions
Is there a good referencebook or video for this? My own shop and production engineering classes long ago did not focus on this at all

as it relates to the hobbyist that's a great question: I can refer you to textbooks, but I think they're a pretty dry read and focused primarily on big factory machines (both for producing and using the workholder) engineering blogs probably best: https://www.carrlane.com/en-us/engineering-resources/fixture-design-principles/locating-clamping-principles …

Or just look through the MSC Direct catalog for workholding
