G'day everyone,

In this video I will be making a set of matched V blocks. It is a project that I have been meaning to get around to for quite some time, but due to a lack of time and the inability to get steel in the correct size and grade, it has been a project that I have never gotten around to doing.... until now. Because I am starting out with a piece of 300 grade low carbon steel, I will have to case harden it before I heat treat it.
