Martin-Darrell's Node Straightener

This is as good as I can do with the camera I have. Hope they turn out okay. The first photo shows them rotated 90° from their normal position in the vise. The second shows their normal position. The vise has a hand wheel on it, too -- makes for more rapid pressing. You can't tell from the photo, but the bottom of the V-groove is relieved, so as not to harm the apex of the strip. I think I used a .030 end mill for this, and cut it something like .050 deep.
