Doing Things Wrong

I cut these five blanks on my fretboard jig a long time ago. Now I finally want one, so I pulled one out at random, and it turned out to be the worst of the batch. By worst, I mean it was thin in the middle and thick at the ends, probably because it is not perfectly flat and and sat on the jig with a slight bow that I didn't notice.

I've wanted one of these for a long time. This is a 2-axis milling vise. You bolt it to your drill press, and it turns it into a light-duty milling machine, with the proper bits, which I have. The vise handle is at the left, the slide handles are at the front and right.
