A find!


 Found! Two pieces of 8 inch angle, 1/2inch wall, 6 inches long. 

"Leave them there, you don't need them. What do you want with more junk?"

 "But think what could I make if I had two big heavy pieces of steel!"

 "Sigh"

I'll think of something...

If you collected cast iron books, you'd be all set.

You're all set to start making your home made milling attachment.

If they're relatively true 90s they'll make good corner clamp guides but I can't tell from the pics.

Trueing the outer faces, implied first step in my suggestion.
This I did,... and that's where things have stood since... :-(

Hmm, that's an idea, the one I have has a much lighter angle as the bracket.
