How to start

[Nikon1975]

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem: if you have a set of parallel, it's easy to make other parallels. If you have a 45 degree reference plate, it's easy to make another one. But I did not have a reference to flip the part 45 degrees in the vice. Additionally, I was loosely following a Youtube video in doing the vee-block and he was tilting the head.

But this is one of the things I have in mind: should I buy a set of parallels and angle plates ?

Thanks,
