I think it looks mighty fine for something cobbled together in a day. It
works great! What do you think?

I think the pink felt is a bit much. Anyone else feel that way?



That was done on day two.


Perhaps you could have left the block splitter up for more than an
hour, huh? sigh


Nah, I'm off the block splitter now, and on to recovering my pool table. I
did split a block today while splitting some wood. BTW, it splits wood
excellently, too. The block was a little off, so will add some shims and
score one or two sides and see if it works any cleaner. The cleave I did
was a little better than I expected.

By the way, it's BURGUNDY, not pink. My SWMBO'S choice. Next color is pool
table green.


I figured it had something to do with a woman. Heh heh heh.
