LOL.
That is one heavy block.

Jabo, I'm inclined to agree with you. I was not envisaging a block quite that large however...
Reducing the "headroom" can be done with low profile blocks too. But. The surface area is vastly higher, offsetting it perhaps.
I've always lĂ*ked the idea of a spherical block. Never followed it through though.
