I'm not so experienced, but I bought one of these at cricklewood ... and it's rather lovely.

You could try something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/BURNTEC-PCB-Holder-Jig-Soldering/dp/B01MRAEY6M but maybe on a larger scale.seen the magnetic holders but i dont trust them holding the weight of those precious boards!
I've got one of the above holders, which is good for small PCBs (like Vectrex logic/power boards), but no good for anything bigger. For bigger stuff, I just lay it down on a heatproof silicon mat, and prop up as needed with anything suitable that I have lying around. 😆
Yes that's what I am doing, but I thought I might be missing a trick. I am a bit OCD I don't like the capacitors getting pushed off vertical when laid straight on a mat.

The board is normally wedged between my knees half the time, the amount of pulled threads in my jeans!

I use a box and a piece of cardboard. Patent Pending.
For that price its a no brainer, also looks like it could be modified to accept wider PCB'S. Thanks
