matek Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Looks super good. Wood aesthetics My 60mm and 80mm blocks are store-bought (GoG), but I also have a super wide 125mm DIY block. I made it from a thick steel rectangular pipe, so the block is already 1.6kg/3.5lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's oak but yeah it was a spare piece and it had the thickness I wanted, so I thought 'why not?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another aspect of pinch strength. I think my original idea was to help with bloblifts, but honestly, simply doing blobs is more fun and productive. It would definitely be helpful to build up strength for blob facelifts though. Edited April 6, 2023 by matek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
