A workpiece holding system ( 10 ) is configured for holding a workpiece (R) for crafting thereof by a craftsman (C). The system ( 10 ) broadly includes a mounting assembly ( 12 ) removably coupled a support surface (B), an articulating frame assembly ( 14 ) coupled to the mounting assembly ( 12 ), a workpiece-supporting tool assembly ( 16 ) removably coupled to the frame assembly ( 14 ), and a mirrored ambidextrous handrest assembly ( 18 ) removably coupled to the mounting assembly ( 12 ). A fixture ( 36 ) spaced from a work zone (W) adjustably receives the tool assembly ( 16 ) so that the workpiece (R) held therein can be positioned substantially in the work zone (W) so that when the tool assembly ( 16 ) is maneuvered, thereby articulating the frame assembly ( 14 ), the workpiece (R) substantially remains in the work zone (W). The tool assembly ( 16 ) includes a connection assembly ( 80 ) configured to quickly and removably couple tools ( 78, 140, 152, 154, 172 ) into a clamp ( 76 ).
