What did you do besides rename it?


You apparently don't recognize good work.

I added the wood block, for one thing.



I think it will work by sunset.
Why the wood?
Did you harden the point of the anvil?
Is there a corresponding 'sharp thing' on the bottom side?
[or would (2) 1/4 beads a few inches apart work better so you are
splitting over a gap? I was thinking there was a tit on the one I saw
in action, but it was a while ago & it might have been just a guide
line.]

How old are your blocks and pavers?
