It pays to clean out your shop drawers. I found a few more Waara V blocks if anyone is interested. PM me if you would like one.

Here is a pic for those that have not seen one in action. PM or canebuilder@gmail.com

While I am reasonably certain these are tough to come by, does anyone know where I may find one?

Many Thanks in advance and Hello as this is my first post and looking forward to learning here in the forum!
