Hey Jay, I'm pretty sure BillA doesn't mind testing blocks at DIY rate as long as the testing is done before any are sold. I'm basing this on some of his comments to Neo. Also "Sponsorship" of DIY blocks is an option.
Here are some details. I'd be willing to help out and I'm sure others would be too. I really hope you consider having it tested. Not so much to see how it does against other blocks, but rather to add hard numbers of a new design to our knowledge base.
And for another topic: I really like how your threads turned out on your "plexi" top. I need some pointers on how you did them. Tools used and technique please. I had my first try at it last night and the results were less than spectacular.
peace.
