Adjustable V-Block System

If you’ve ever tried to drill a hole in a dowel or oddshaped object (like a turned leg), you probably know how frustrating a job it can be. It’s a real challenge to hold these kinds of workpieces steady and accurately on the flat table of a drill press. And it’s even trickier if you have to drill an angled hole. Usually, I wind up cobbling together some jury-rigged device to support the workpiece in question. But since building this adjustable V-block system, that’s no longer a problem.
