    help holding odd work piece.

    I have no idea how i would hold these knife handle so i can mill some simple flats. I dont know how i would get these in the vise straight. There are no flat edges anywhere on the sides so i have no idea on how to hold it straight.

    put them in a little shallow pan, and melt some "CerroSafe " or similar low temp metal around the work piece.

      Using two or more of the available holes in the handle pieces, screw them down to a bar which will be held in the vise.

        Clamp them in the vise between to hardwood blocks wide enough to permit the cutter, then mill the flat through the wood as necessary.

          Flats

          If the flats are on the larger face (side?) just clamp it to the mill table.

          If the flats are on the lesser face (top/bottom?) just clamp it to an angle plate.

            I vote with 38_Cal: screw them down to a block.
