[Newbie] Emco Compact 8 Repair

The part fitted nice but there was no room for the thin black shield with te hooks on the corner.
So I tweaked that with some hand milling on the 3D part.
 
For the next operations I needed a way to hold the work-piece strongly without damaging it.
So I designed one and made it of some off-cuts HPL 20mm.
