workholding question from a new hobby machinist.

[Tony Wells]

Congratulations! It's always good to see a success at hand. It's a confidence builder, and helps learn a few basics if it is something new to you. The thought processes never stop once you get going on how thing are machined. Now you won't be able to look at anything machined without figuring out how you would do it, or how it was done.

Good job!
