GOOD CALL! That's a good tip for you, Dan with the inverter plan, not to

circ.
saw nor a drill would cut it. Literally. Ha.)

This is not a joke: go buy a couple of rolling pins. [You know, that which 
a
wife might use to a) roll out pie crusts or b) beat husbands] Cut 'em up,
hog 'em out. Good hardwood!
