This video follows a maker as they complete their first milling project: creating a pair of V-blocks. The maker walks viewers through the process, from cutting the initial pieces of steel to marking out and machining the V-shape, and finally, finishing the blocks with chamfered edges and a bluing solution. The maker shares their learnings and challenges along the way, making this video a great resource for anyone interested in learning about milling.

Phil from Shopnotes Magazine demonstrates a simple jig for their band saw. This V-block allows for angled cuts without tilting the table, providing more support for the workpiece. The jig can be used to quickly shape parts, such as turning a square block into an octagonal spindle, and can be attached to the rip fence with double-sided tape or clamps.
