Small V blocks - an aid to work holding

[TomG]

Good idea Dave, and nicely written and photographed. I normally use a collet block for that sort of thing but this would be much faster. One caveat to be aware of; the jaws on most vises are held on by a couple of cap screws and can float around. Make sure yours are parallel to the bottom of the vise before locating off the top of them.
