I needed a soft bench block, so I made a UHMW indirect copy of my Starrett 119 Heavy Duty Bench Block.
Thanks again Harvey Melvin Richards! This one's been added to our Milling category, and of course to your homemade tools page: Harvey Melvin Richards's Homemade Tools. Your receipt:

Bench blocks have numerous uses. I use mine for driving pins into or out of small parts or small shafts. It can also be used as an anvil, although not for heavy duty use. I use the soft block anytime I have a delicate part, or a part where I don't want to damage the finish.
