Wood=good. I've always got a stack of blocks laying around my garage. Gives me something to play with if I get frustrated and revert to being a two-year old. I think I first learned this from my Dad when I used to fetch him tools when I was like 6. Just use the wood. It's cheap and easy. Cheap and easy = good.

Not to be a safety nag or anything, but when something falls on you, it'll be faster than you.



If people only got hurt when they expected to get hurt... You know what I mean!
