JERRY: Lots of machine shop and CNC class, but never heard of hold a small part that way. As for the guy building the V-8 a quick was the hold small parts would speed up the over project. He trying to build the thing using only a vert mill. As for the brass castings, I have a push boat that needs a prop and as I have them, well.

But just how
does one hold it and drill and tap it? A figure would be the normal
answer, but building a figure would be a bear all by it's self
