Thanks for the video, Tom. Something to keep in mind while working in the shop today is that on any typical day we would hate to need to make a trip to the emergency room, but now we really would hate to do so. So keep in mind in many parts of the country we are working without a safety net and need to be extra cautious.

Tom, that "bozo waiting to happen" at 23:00 is perfect for a training project! A lesson in keeping your eyes open while you are working. Also a chance to think/teach about order of operations, if the smaller vee were milled first, the part might have rested on the stock allowance left on the wider side... which could also have been intentionally left wider at the saw.

Firstly, I love your videos and I learn so much. What are your thoughts about the 1 man or garage shop and those of us that don't have a surface grinder. How necessary is it, how much can ground stock be used for for flatness (heat treated and then gently lapped) on faces of tools that need it. Would like to see you make a precision engineers level as a tuition video on the subject.

My mentality regarding cutting with a bandsaw vs cutting by mill where applicable, is simple, a bandsaw blade is much cheaper to replace than a milling bit. But then again, this is a hobby+ type thing for me, so maybe if i were to live off machining, it would be much different based on job/time/money.
