base shape choices
hello,
ive been scouring these forums in preparation for making my own block (thanks for all of teh great info everyone!) and noticed a common thread.
all of the baseplate designs that i have seen have been milled into bar stock, and end up with a square or rectangular shape. any reason why?
it seems that bar stock is regularily more expensive than round stock (as compared on ebay), and that round would be a much cheaper way of getting some raw materials, and a slightly unique base shape as well.
