Well, I usually just clamp mine in my bench vise.
However, I should point out that this is NOT going to be a
satisfactory tool for cutting wood. Even the higher speed is pretty
slow (fast for metal, slow for wood), and, the bands you can get for
it are WAY too fine to work well on most woods. Not only that...
you only have about 3/4" clearance (straight line) from the body
of the saw to the blade line if you are cutting anything LONGER than
about 4 1/2".
A spectacularly good tool for metal...a pretty poor tool
for wood.
