Great idea. What is the best jack to get? Id buy one if I had a jack.

Pretender · 01-10-2007, 02:19 AM

Damn...last time I used 4 pieces of Pergo cut out and they worked well too, but billet aluminum is much better.

Go buy a jack!

There's some threads on jacks around here, just run a search. I'm happy with my craftsmen aluminum so far (knock on wood). Harbor freight makes one that a lot of people on here are happy with.. Your call, there's a lot of nice ones out there..

PS. I'm hoping for 20. Then I can order a 36" piece of stock and save some money per unit.. Each block is 1.5" tall, so I think cutting 20 pieces out of 36" is reasonable.

Can you make mine made out of Titanium?

Aluminum 6061 Adapter - .63 lbs.
Titanium 6AL-4V Adapter - 1.03 lbs.

Factory of Safety using Aluminum 6061 - 60+

Price of Titanium - Too much

Machining Titanium -

The moral of the story:

PS. You're the man. I'll try to rig some blue LED's up on yours. Blue LED's on a product is just as cool as writing Titanium on the package IMO.

PPS. $146 in material alone if you're still interested in having yours made in Titanium.

One short! Being able to wrap up the list in 2 days is encouraging. Speaks volume about how much confidence folks place in you

Any projections on final pricing on these? Do you do personalized engravings?...
