I think it was made in the comments of the last video, something along the lines of 'just buy the stuff'. You could, but there may be reasons you don't want to and it's all practice at using your machines too. Some of the stuff I've made (or will be making) I'll be using in the future because it is perfectly serviceable stuff. Other bits will be rehomed and used by others.
They (like the angle plates) are not the most sturdy bits of tooling in the world, but will get the job done in lots of cases. If nothing else, a good starting poing for making them out of solid.
Interesting idea. I guess if you had holes either end of the slots you could make angle plates on a shaper (maybe slots - a couple of drilled holes with a bit of file work). Flattening off fabricated V blocks on a shaper - I'd be really tempted to turn the table so it was at 45 degrees and just clamp to a corner.
Thanks, I was planning on just drilling holes in the angle plates with a few tapped for work holding also it will leave a little more "meat" left for rigidity, Can always add more holes or open out to slots if i need to in the future 🙂
I’m enjoying this DIY budget mill tools series. Some nice ideas in here.
Even if you don't need to make any of this stuff now, I think it interesting just to show some 'how' techniques.
I love these type of series
The trick is coming up with the overall theme behind them. Thinking of them is the issue!
Again more interesting information and self made tooling.

Very nice work. Good technique. I’m sure it will be handy in the future. Thanks
Hopefully some stuff that will help. Squaring up that angle is one that probably has some broader application
Those vee blocks are cool, looks just the job for my shaper, but also good for making something to a specific height

Interesting video, I have something similar planned as a shaper project thanks for sharing your ideas

@@Paul-FrancisB Agree entirely - also with inexpensive plates like this, you can put a hole wherever you like.
Thx for the vid.
Thanks for watching
